Omer Harari
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I help individuals manage the stressors of infertility by using an integrative approach using narrative, dynamic, relational, and attachment informed therapy. We work together to manage the feelings that can come with being in a process that can be challenging, uncertain, and open-ended. We build skills to manage uncertainty, anxieties, and isolation, and create safe containers for hope and emotional support, both in therapy and in relationships outside of therapy. I'm familiar and have lived experience with steps commonly involved in IUI, IVF and have experience supporting clients--couples and individuals--in navigating them.

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I have personal lived experience and ample clinical experience working with infertility. I have helped many people navigate the all consuming process of family building, whether it be through IUI, IVF or adoption. My clients seek comfort in my understanding of IVF and other fertility procedures and language, and feel held and seen in their infertility focused grief.

Jennie Steinberg - feminist, queer-affirming therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, PMH-C
I am certified as a perinatal mental health therapist by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, but I find that most clients find my most useful credential in this area to be my lived experience. When you are struggling with trying to conceive, many people feel like they’re losing themself a little bit. It’s so easy to let your whole identity become “person who is failing to make a baby.” This rollercoaster is hard for anyone, but can be especially challenging if your experience includes other complications – miscarriages, past abortions, genetic carrier concerns, or gender dysphoria. If you are currently involved in fertility treatments, you might be juggling the emotions of gratitude and relief with overwhelm, unpredictability, shame, disconnection from your own body, a calendar full of medical appointments, and the experience of being a human pincushion. As an IVF veteran myself, I understand how large a toll this experience can take. When working with clients dealing with infertility, we work, among other things, on expanding your sense of identity and reclaiming yourself as more than a broken baby-making machine, riding the waves of hope and disappointment, untangling shame, reconnecting with your body, coping with anxiety, managing external stressors, navigating your grief over the story you imagined you’d have, and sitting with ambiguity. For help navigating the unruly rollercoaster of infertility, reach out to me. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Karina Baltazar-Durán LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
We stay too silent about infertility and TTC because of the perception of shame from our family, society, ourselves. What we're "supposed to be" or how we're "supposed" to get there isn't a cookie cutter way. I offer individuals, couples, and families a safe and empowering space to explore all feels associated with infertility and TTC.

Courtney Whetstone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
After my lived experience with pregnancy loss and not being able to receive the proper services and care that I needed, I knew it was my turn to make a difference and provide the type of support that is needed within this population. Someone that can work within this population with the care and time and effort and advocacy it deserves. I have written a workbook on this very topic and it is something that is needed in this field.
