Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Experiences related to infertility and adoption can bring intense emotions, stress, grief, uncertainty, and complex relationship challenges for couples. Gottman Method couples therapy offers a supportive space to navigate these experiences together with greater understanding, communication, and emotional connection. Therapy actively guides couples through difficult emotions, strengthens their partnership during periods of uncertainty, and creates space for both shared and individual experiences within the journey to parenthood. Whether couples are coping with fertility struggles or exploring adoption, they often are confronted with difficulties in their sexual life. Therapy opens conversations so sexuality can be a source of love, connection, and healing during these tumultuous times.

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.

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.

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.
