Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Infertility and the journey toward adoption are among the most emotionally demanding experiences adults and couples face — marked by hope, grief, uncertainty, and an emotional toll that is rarely acknowledged by those around you. As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in reproductive mental health, fertility-related anxiety, pregnancy loss, IVF emotional support, and adoption adjustment, I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored specifically to the unique challenges of family building. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I help individuals and couples navigate each stage of the process with greater emotional resilience and clarity.

Online in Huntington Beach, CA California
Huntington Beach — 'Surf City USA' — cultivates a strong outdoor and athletic identity that creates particular mental health dynamics around body image, performance anxiety, and the psychological costs of a lifestyle culture that prizes youth and physical capability. The city's predominantly White, affluent coastal character contrasts with pockets of economic precarity and a substance use landscape connected to its beach culture and proximity to the broader Orange County recovery community. Hoag Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Huntington Beach and the surrounding South Orange County coastal corridor. The city's proximity to both Los Angeles and the Orange County recovery ecosystem means therapists here frequently work at the intersection of addiction, identity, and the particular stresses of competitive coastal California life.
