Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Infertility and the journey toward adoption are among the most emotionally demanding experiences adults and couples face — marked by hope, grief, uncertainty, and an emotional toll that is rarely acknowledged by those around you. As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in reproductive mental health, fertility-related anxiety, pregnancy loss, IVF emotional support, and adoption adjustment, I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored specifically to the unique challenges of family building. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I help individuals and couples navigate each stage of the process with greater emotional resilience and clarity. Telehealth therapy for infertility available across 40+ states.

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.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in infertility, my treatment approach encompasses emotional support, coping strategies, and navigating the complex emotional landscape associated with fertility challenges. Through empathetic counseling and therapeutic interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and support groups, I provide individuals and couples with a safe space to process their feelings of grief, frustration, and uncertainty. Together, we explore coping mechanisms to manage stress, anxiety, and depression related to infertility, while also addressing communication challenges and relationship dynamics. Additionally, I offer guidance on decision-making regarding fertility treatments, third-party reproduction options, and exploring alternative paths to parenthood.

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.

Couples who face infertility can often struggle in their relationships. Infertility and miscarriage can also cause a crisis of faith because people question why God allows it. I can help couples process their loss, pain, and issues related to their faith.

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.
