Brittan Zamora
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, PMH-C
Experiencing infertility can be an incredibly painful, isolating journey. It is often marked by grief, uncertainty, and a deep sense of loneliness. If you’re feeling sad, exhausted, or disconnected from others while navigating this path, you are not alone, and you don’t have to carry it by yourself. I specialize in supporting individuals and couples through the emotional complexities of infertility, pregnancy loss, and reproductive challenges.
As a Perinatal Mental Health–Certified therapist, I bring specialized training and a deep understanding of the unique emotional weight that accompanies infertility. In our work together, I offer a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where your feelings—no matter how heavy or complicated—are welcomed and validated. Together, we’ll gently process grief, loss, and uncertainty while building coping skills to help you navigate the sadness, anxiety, and overwhelm that often arise along the way.
My goal is to help you feel less alone, more supported, and better equipped to care for yourself during this deeply vulnerable season. Therapy can be a place to reconnect with hope, strengthen resilience, and find moments of steadiness, even when the path forward feels unclear.

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
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist
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.
