Infertility
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.

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.

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.

Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Adoption is a lifelong experience — not a single event. I work with the full adoption constellation: adult and teen adoptees navigating identity, grief, and attachment; adoptive parents learning how to support their children and themselves; birth parents carrying grief that rarely gets acknowledged; and families touched by domestic, international, foster care, and transracial adoption. As an adoptee myself, with adoption competency training, I bring both clinical expertise and lived understanding to this work. The issues adoption creates don't resolve in childhood — they show up in your relationships, your sense of self, and your capacity for intimacy long into adulthood.

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.

Cynthia Leslie

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.

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.

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.

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.

Minneapolis has a progressive mental health culture with a high density of therapists, and the city saw sharply increased demand for trauma processing and grief work following the murder of George Floyd and the social upheaval of 2020. The city has a large Somali immigrant community as well as significant Native American, Hmong, and East African populations, with strong demand for therapists who specialize in refugee trauma, cultural adjustment, and identity. Minneapolis winters are long and severe, and therapists with experience in seasonal affective disorder and winter-related depression serve a real clinical need. Hennepin Healthcare and the University of Minnesota Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources alongside the city's extensive private practice community.
