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.

Lisa J. Taylor
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Navigating the paths of infertility and adoption can be deeply emotional and complex. I provide a compassionate, affirming space for individuals and couples exploring all family-building options--including fertility treatments, adoption, remaining child-free, or finding peace in uncertainty. My approach honors every journey and every choice, recognizing that there is no one "right" way to create or define a family. Together, we'll work through the hope, growth, and even grief that can come with these experiences, helping you feel grounded, supported, and empowered in whatever path you choose. Please note that I also provide parenting sessions for families with adopted or foster children. I also provide pre-adoption psychological evaluations for potential parents as part of international adoption requirements.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with clients who have experienced infertility struggles and/or have attempted pregnancy with the help of an egg donor, sperm donor, gestational carrier, and/or IVF. Many people in this situation find it extremely beneficial to work with a therapist to help them cope as best they can with the stress and sense of loss they have been experiencing and to help navigate the paths they would like to take moving forward in their lives. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see.

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.

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.

Dr. Jadah Petty

For many adoptees, they have not had the opportunity to explore their adoptive identity and understand how their adoption has shaped the ways they see themselves and others. Understanding the myths around adoption and exploring it means to be adopted is something I can offer in therapy.

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.

Cynthia Leslie
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, MA, CPRS
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.
