Infertility
Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Infertility and adoption journeys are deeply emotional experiences that can bring hope, grief, joy, and uncertainty—all at once. I specialize in supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate the complex emotions and decisions that accompany both infertility and the adoption process.
For those facing infertility, therapy offers a safe and compassionate space to process feelings of loss, guilt, anger, and disappointment. Together, we work to reduce the isolation that so often accompanies fertility challenges, strengthen coping strategies, and improve communication between partners as they move through difficult choices about treatment, timing, or next steps.
For adoptive and pre-adoptive parents, my work focuses on preparing emotionally for the realities of adoption, understanding attachment and trauma-informed parenting, and navigating the evolving relationships between birth families, adoptive families, and children. I also work with individuals experiencing post-adoption adjustment issues, including identity changes, unexpected stressors, or grief over unmet expectations.
Using cognitive-behavioral and family systems approaches, therapy focuses on helping clients identify and manage anxious or depressive symptoms, cultivate resilience, and foster a sense of empowerment through each phase of the journey.
My goal is to provide steady, compassionate guidance through life’s most sensitive transitions—helping clients find strength, understanding, and meaning along the way.

Anne M. Dennis LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
While the IVF process can be an exciting hopeful time, an individual/couple want to ensure their mental health is addressed along the way. Feelings of isolation, depression, anxiety, relationship conflict left untreated and unresolved may have long-term effects on the relationship. Working together in therapy the issues can be addressed including processing thoughts and feelings and learning positive coping skills to utilize during the IVF process.

Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
My work with fertility clients spans the entire journey—from initial diagnosis through treatment, potential loss, subsequent pregnancy, and postpartum adjustment. At each stage, we address the complex emotional terrain while using clinical hypnosis to support both psychological wellbeing and physiological processes. A central focus of our work involves navigating the profound identity questions that arise throughout the fertility journey. How does one integrate being "someone struggling with fertility" into one's self-concept? How does one manage the rollercoaster of hope and disappointment? Through supportive therapeutic work, clients discover resources for resilience while honoring their unique path to family formation.

Omer Harari
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I help individuals manage the stressors of infertility by using an integrative approach using narrative, dynamic, relational, and attachment informed therapy. We work together to manage the feelings that can come with being in a process that can be challenging, uncertain, and open-ended. We build skills to manage uncertainty, anxieties, and isolation, and create safe containers for hope and emotional support, both in therapy and in relationships outside of therapy. I'm familiar and have lived experience with steps commonly involved in IUI, IVF and have experience supporting clients--couples and individuals--in navigating them.

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.

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.

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.

Dr. Jadah Petty

For many adoptees, they have not had the opportunity to explore their adoptive identity and understand how their adoption has shaped the ways they see themselves and others. Understanding the myths around adoption and exploring it means to be adopted is something I can offer in therapy.

Michelle Roberts
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
It's a particular kind of grief, longing for a family and perhaps experiencing many losses along the way. Even the loss of what can't be, or having to shift your understanding of what your identity is or will be in the world, has its own grief journey. The highs and the lows all make sense. I'm here as a steady presence as you figure out what you need most in the life you are building.
