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.

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. George Lough
Psychologist, Ph.D., S.E.P.
Psychotherapy can help a person deal with the multiple emotions of sadness, grief, and frustration of infertility, and also help process the choices available. Adoption also involves deep emotions, whichever part of the adoption triangle you are on, that psychotherapy can help you understand, process, and move through.

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. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work closely with individuals and couples navigating infertility and the many paths to building a family, including adoption and assisted reproduction. These experiences often bring a unique mix of grief, uncertainty, hope, and pressure, and I provide both therapeutic support and practical guidance throughout the process.
In addition to therapy, I offer psychoeducation to help clients better understand and manage the emotional aspects of family building, as well as comprehensive psychological evaluations required for adoption, surrogacy, and donor-related processes. I understand how time-sensitive these steps can be, and—based on both my professional experience and personal understanding—I prioritize these appointments, offering a quick turnaround and minimal wait whenever possible.
My goal is to provide a steady, informed, and compassionate presence during what can be an intensely emotional journey, helping clients move forward with clarity, resilience, and confidence.

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.

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.

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.

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.
