Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
The journey through infertility, reproductive challenges, and the uncertainty of trying to conceive can be an incredibly lonely, heartbreaking, and anxiety-inducing path. Anne provides a warm, deeply validating, and collaborative space for individuals and couples navigating the profound emotional toll of fertility treatments, pregnancy loss, and reproductive trauma. As a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) and Certified Grief Informed Professional, she helps clients process the invisible grief, systemic stress, and identity shifts that so often accompany the struggle to build a family.
Anne’s integrative approach pairs evidence-based psychotherapy with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and creative art therapy. These tools are uniquely powerful for fertility support—offering tangible ways to calm a hyper-vigilant nervous system, manage the anxiety of "the two-week wait," and express complex feelings of anger, hope, and body betrayal when words feel insufficient. Whether you are navigating IVF, processing a medical diagnosis affecting your fertility, weathering professional burnout alongside treatment, or grieving a loss, Anne is dedicated to helping you protect your mental health and reclaim a sense of agency.

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.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people whose path to or through parenthood has been different from what they hoped or imagined. This may include primary or secondary infertility, long periods of trying without a child arriving, pregnancy loss, termination, birth trauma, NICU experiences, postpartum distress, or the complex emotions that can arise before or after adoption.
Many people in this situation feel like they are living in a different world from friends and family. You may be surrounded by pregnancies, baby announcements, or parenting conversations while carrying your own mix of grief, anger, longing, relief, guilt, or numbness.
In our work together, we make space for the full reality of your experience, including the parts that feel confusing or hard to say out loud. We may explore the emotional impact of fertility treatments, medical procedures, NICU stays, long periods of uncertainty, or the decision to stop trying; grief after miscarriage, stillbirth, or other forms of loss, including the loss of a hoped‑for future; the strain these experiences place on relationships and daily life; identity questions around becoming a parent, not becoming a parent, or becoming a parent through adoption; and the layered emotions that can show up during pregnancy, in the NICU, or after a child arrives.
My intention is not to rush you toward acceptance or silver linings, but to offer a place where your story is honored, your feelings make sense, and you do not have to hold this on your own. This is central to my work, and I hold these stories with deep care.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
As an adoptive parent who went through infertility treatment many years ago, I’m particularly attuned to how this puts pressure on a couple. It can also be quite overwhelming and can cause people to feel like they are on a roller-coaster ride. Often couples need to come in for support together. Or one partner needs extra support.
