Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
There is nothing more painful than wanting to have children and being unable to. Infertility issues can bring a tremendous amount of stress to bear on a relationship. Sometime Adoption becomes a part of the conversation when infertility is an issue, and while adoption is a wonderful possibility and noble act, it can also be fraught with anxiety and stress. There is a grief process that happens to bring closure to the possibilities we wish we had and to prepare our hearts for the realities we can have and which we may not have considered before. If you are struggling with issues around infertility and adoption, Growth and Change Counseling is a safe practice that can help you.

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…).

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.

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.

Karina Baltazar-Durán LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
We stay too silent about infertility and TTC because of the perception of shame from our family, society, ourselves. What we're "supposed to be" or how we're "supposed" to get there isn't a cookie cutter way. I offer individuals, couples, and families a safe and empowering space to explore all feels associated with infertility and TTC.
