Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling for individuals and couples navigating infertility, adoption-related stress, pregnancy loss, fertility challenges, and the emotional impact these experiences can have on identity, relationships, and mental health. These deeply personal journeys often bring grief, anxiety, depression, feelings of isolation, relationship strain, uncertainty about the future, and emotional overwhelm.
Brad takes a holistic and compassionate approach to infertility and adoption counseling, helping clients process the emotional complexity of these experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Therapy provides space to explore grief, expectations, identity concerns, past trauma, and the emotional impact of medical or life circumstances related to fertility and family building.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process emotional pain, reduce distress, and build resilience during difficult life transitions. Therapy focuses on restoring emotional balance, strengthening coping skills, and supporting clients in making meaningful, values-aligned decisions about their next steps.
Infertility and adoption-related experiences can also surface unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, or long-standing emotional pain. Brad’s approach helps clients understand these deeper layers while also supporting present-day emotional needs, communication within relationships, and healthy decision-making moving forward.
Therapy is collaborative, individualized, and focused on creating a supportive space where clients feel heard, validated, and understood. The goal is to help individuals and couples navigate these challenges with greater clarity, emotional stability, and connection while moving toward healing and hope.
Healing is possible, even in deeply painful and uncertain circumstances. With the right support, clients can find meaning, resilience, and emotional peace as they move forward on their unique path.

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. My goal is to empower individuals and couples to find resilience, hope, and a sense of meaning throughout their fertility journey, fostering emotional well-being and coping skills for the road ahead.

Amanda Mason
Licensed Professional Counselor, LGPC, NCC
Adoption is not a one-time event for adoptees, adoptive parents, or birth mothers. It becomes a part of you, and sometimes we need help and guidance to integrate that part into our larger life journey. I love to work with individuals that are part of the adoption circle. I have completed Adoption Competency training through CASE, have worked in advocacy for older children adopted internationally, and am an adoptive mom myself. By looking at your unique situation through an attachment lens, I can help you feel more connected to yourself and those around you.

Washington Psychological Wellness
Counselor/Therapist
Being a parent and having a child is a dream often taken for granted. Very few individuals plan for the numerous fertility difficulties that may interfere with one's path toward parenthood. Not only can infertility devastate one's dreams of giving birth, scientific studies indicate that the emotional and physical toll associated with infertility and its medical treatments are comparable with other serious medical conditions. Adoption is a beautiful alternative to childbirth and a viable path to parenthood. In fact, decisions to enter parenthood through adoption are often unmotivated by infertility. However, with the joy and excitement of adoption comes substantial lifestyle alterations, changes, and demands. At Washington Psychological Wellness, we aim to help you through this process. Whether you plan to conceive, are trying to conceive, going through IVF or a surrogate, have plans for adoption, or are just curious, we can help. Our clinicians provide an integrative and holistic mind-body approach to treatment focused on implementing self-efficacy, mastery, calmness, and inner peace. We will work with you to explore your many options and empower you to have the tools and skills necessary to prepare for whatever next steps you will be faced. We are currently accepting new clients. Telehealth (online) therapy options are available. Call now to schedule your appointment!

Dr. Daisy Vélez
Psychologist, PsyD, DipACLM, PMH-C
The journey through infertility can be heartbreaking, isolating, and all-consuming. Whether you're navigating fertility treatments, coping with loss, or facing uncertainty about what's next, I provide a space where all of your emotions are welcome. Together, we’ll process the grief, manage the stress, and reconnect with your sense of self and hope—whatever your path forward may be.

Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
The grief and anxiety of infertility can be heartbreaking and isolating. Decisions about how many steps to take to build your family are often overwhelming and can tax even the healthiest relationships. It is often hard to give voice to the jealousy, shame, and anger that accompany seeing others easily get pregnant and not being able to build a family the way you expected. I offer a supportive, warm, empathic approach to help you process those emotions, regain a sense of steadiness, and move forward with acceptance, peace, and clarity.

Barry Lipscomb
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Fertility journeys can be quite frustrating, especially as it gets extended and you are not finding success regardless of the path you take. There can be feelings of inadequacy and disappointment that your body is not responding as you would like. After failed attempts at IVF you might find yourself experiencing loss and grieving for the pregnancy that isn't happening. Women and couples often keep their experience to themselves putting on a brave face each day as their journey lingers on. I have worked with women using hypnotherapy to work through this grief and loss, and explore if past trauma or limiting beliefs in their subconscious is affecting their ability to conceive.

Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
My work with fertility clients spans the entire journey—from initial diagnosis through treatment, potential loss, subsequent pregnancy, and postpartum adjustment. At each stage, we address the complex emotional terrain while using clinical hypnosis to support both psychological wellbeing and physiological processes. A central focus of our work involves navigating the profound identity questions that arise throughout the fertility journey. How does one integrate being "someone struggling with fertility" into one's self-concept? How does one manage the rollercoaster of hope and disappointment? Through supportive therapeutic work, clients discover resources for resilience while honoring their unique path to family formation.
