Dr. Mitch Keil, PsyD
Psychologist, Keil Psych Group
Infertility can be an extraordinarily lonely experience. It often involves a repeating cycle of hope, waiting, uncertainty, and loss—all while the rest of the world seems to continue moving forward.
The psychological impact can reach far beyond trying to have a child. Infertility and fertility treatment can affect your relationship, sex life, friendships, identity, self-esteem, finances, and even your relationship with your own body. Baby announcements, pregnancies, and seemingly innocent questions from other people can suddenly become painful. Couples may also grieve differently, leaving both partners feeling alone even while going through the same experience.
Our approach to infertility counseling creates a place where you don't have to minimize any of this or stay positive for someone else's comfort. Therapy can help you process grief and disappointment, manage anxiety around fertility treatments or IVF, navigate difficult decisions, communicate more openly with your partner, and work through the complicated emotions that can accompany infertility and pregnancy loss.
There is often grief in infertility even when there hasn't been a single identifiable loss. You may be grieving the timeline you expected, the family you imagined, a sense of control over your body, or the assumption that having children would happen naturally when you were ready.
Therapy won't take away the uncertainty of the process, but it can give you a place to carry it differently—to feel what you're actually feeling, stay connected to yourself and the people you love, and move through an incredibly difficult chapter without having to go through it alone.

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…).

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.

Anne 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.

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.
