Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
Infertility, pregnancy loss, and the adoption process can be deeply isolating and misunderstood, even by well‑meaning people. In our work, we make space for grief, anger, hope, and complex family dynamics while supporting you in making informed, values‑based decisions along your reproductive or adoption journey.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
As an adoptive parent who went through infertility treatment many years ago, I’m particularly attuned to how this puts pressure on a couple. It can also be quite overwhelming and can cause people to feel like they are on a roller-coaster ride. Often couples need to come in for support together. Or one partner needs extra support.

Lisa Panelo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MS, LCSW, CTMH
My journey to parenthood has shaped deeply who I am, both as a person, and as a therapist. I understand the dream of being a parent, and the emotional ups and downs that come with learning that the journey would not be as easy or natural as expected. I have walked the paths of being diagnosed with infertility, and the challenges of pursuing ARTS treatment. I have also walked the path of choosing to adopt, the challenges and delays that come with the adoption process, along with the joy of becoming a parent. Along with the choice to be a parent via adoption, I've learned to support my child in all the challenges they experience as a child of adoption, and learn to recognize and support all children who find families via adoption and supporting them with the difficult past they experienced in finding their forever family, and adjusting to their new family. These journeys to family-building are a different path and all deserve respect and support.

Across Counseling llc
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, LPC
Often, adopted children have thoughts, fears, confusion and questions over their life span. Many of these children have also suffered from early abuse and or neglect as well. When attachment to a primary caregiver does not develop, or is interrupted, there are actual changes in the brain. A competent therapist must be able to build emotionally connected relationships, have and be able to teach about the brain connection, and apply good interventions specific to each child’s history. Parents must be fully involved with treatment and are a life-long leading treatment team member for their child. Kathianne Smith, adoption specialist at Across Counseling, is an Adoption-Competent Therapist and also a TAC graduate. TAC is the prestigious Training for Adoption Competency program that trains mental health therapists nationwide. This certifies that Kathianne has the specialized skills to address the unique needs of adoptive, kinship and foster families. Over the last 30 years Kathianne has had extensive experience working with children and families. She is also trained in formal Attachment Assessments & Theraplay interventions and is a Certified Competent Trauma Professional. Kathianne Says, “Having worked with children and their families for over thirty years I have and continue to obtain cutting edge training for the best outcomes for my Clients. I would be happy to work with you to come up with loving interventions for your child and family.”

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.

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. 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.

Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
Parenting is an extraordinary experience that, for some, may be difficult or impossible to have. Of course, this can be terribly painful. I work with many people who struggle with infertility, and the roller coaster of emotions it can produce. Some couples really struggle to turn toward each other at these times, and counseling can help to un-do alone-ness and improve communication.
