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!

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.

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.

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.

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.”
