Elaine Barrington
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As an adoptive parent and professional I particularly enjoy working with parents as they navigate the adoption process. I work with parents both at pre and post placement on the many complex issues associated with adoption. I also work with many later in life parents and am familiar with the many challenges and unique ways that families are often formed at this stage of life. It is helpful to work with someone who understands this unique experience and the challenges and also recognizes the many wonderful ways that we each define family.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Some of the most joyous moments in life also have the potential to be the most painful. The world doesn’t seem fair when some women get pregnant just by looking at their partners, or so it would seem, while others try for months, and then begin to time their cycles, and finally start exploring other options. The infertility journey is long and confusing—full of needle pricks, doctor’s appointments and strange or inappropriate questions from friends and loved ones. And if you’re part of a queer couple, you can multiply those strange and inappropriate questions by a factor of two, or maybe three. But then it happens, you get the news: X number of healthy embryos. Yay! Except they are all boys, you really wanted a girl, but that’s okay, you just want a healthy baby. But then, your first implantation doesn’t take. So you have to try again. Success! At least at first. Miscarriages are also an all too common, intensely painful part of this process. It starts to feel like your body is betraying you. Or what if you don’t have all of the necessary parts to carry the child and you need to use a surrogate? The first one doesn’t work out, and the second one doesn’t pass psychological testing and number three, well, unfortunately after three unsuccessful tries, it’s time to look for number four. When will it end? And when will it be your turn for a healthy baby? Therapeutic support from someone who understands the process can help you feel less alone as you navigate the decisions, the ups and downs, and the journey to becoming your own self-educated endocrinologist (kidding, sort of…).

Jennifer Masters
Life Coach, Ba Psychology, CF Thanatology, D Kessler – Grief Grief Coach Certif,M Devine – Grief Coach Certif
Infertility carries a grief that often goes unrecognized — the loss of an imagined future, a pregnancy that didn't happen, or the child you longed for but haven't been able to have. As a Certified Thanatologist and Grief Coach with specialized training in reproductive and prenatal loss (COPE Prenatal Loss Certificate Program), I understand this as real grief, deserving real support. Together, we'll work through the sadness, loss of control, and isolation this journey can bring, so you feel less alone and more able to move forward with hope.

Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Infertility can be a lonely journey. Friends and family may try to be supportive, but it is often hard for them to truly understand the roller coaster of monthly disappointments, the intangible loss of a miscarriage, or the deep yearning every time you see a baby or pregnant belly. I am here to support women in the infertility journey, no matter which stage of the path you are on. I can help you find strategies for managing your stress and making decisions if you are still in the process of trying treatments, or walk with you as you grieve what could have been and build a life of meaning if you are childless-not-by-choice.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The journey to becoming a parent is not so easy for some of us. Years of waiting, of expectation, of loss. It can do a number on us. Infertility challenges relationships, and our fundamental experience of ourselves.

10 Years Experience
Online in San Francisco, CA
San Francisco's extreme housing costs and the psychological toll of the tech industry — characterized by intense performance pressure, rapid layoff cycles, and boom-bust uncertainty — have made burnout, anxiety, and economic grief among the most common presenting concerns. The city has a historically significant LGBTQ+ community, and affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, queer relationships, and HIV-related concerns remain an important part of the local therapy landscape. UCSF Health provides world-class institutional mental health resources, while the city's dense network of independent practitioners reflects a culture that has long embraced therapy as a normal and valued part of life. Telehealth has expanded access significantly for Bay Area residents commuting from Oakland, the East Bay, and the Peninsula.
