Infertility
Rose Hanna Counseling Services
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., LMFT
The path to building a family doesn't always look the way you imagined, and that can bring up grief, stress, and complicated emotions that are hard to voice — even to the people closest to you. Our therapists offer a compassionate space to process the ups and downs of infertility or adoption, without judgment and without needing to have it all figured out.

Infertility
Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Infertility and adoption can bring complex emotions, including grief, hope, uncertainty, guilt, identity questions, and relationship stress. The path to creating or expanding a family may feel isolating, especially when others do not understand the depth of the experience.
I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to process loss, navigate difficult decisions, communicate with loved ones, and cope with uncertainty. For those touched by adoption, therapy may also explore identity, belonging, attachment, cultural connection, and family relationships. Together, we honor your unique journey while strengthening resilience, self-compassion, and emotional well-being.

Melissa Berschauer
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The road to expanding a family can be an emotional rollercoaster that leaves you feeling lonely, overwhelmed, and disconnected from your own body. I provide a steady, safe space to process the intense grief, anxiety, and identity shifts that come with infertility, IVF, and postpartum depression.

Infertility
Dr. Mitch Keil, PsyD
Psychologist, Keil Psych Group
Infertility can be an extraordinarily lonely experience. It often involves a repeating cycle of hope, waiting, uncertainty, and loss—all while the rest of the world seems to continue moving forward.
The psychological impact can reach far beyond trying to have a child. Infertility and fertility treatment can affect your relationship, sex life, friendships, identity, self-esteem, finances, and even your relationship with your own body. Baby announcements, pregnancies, and seemingly innocent questions from other people can suddenly become painful. Couples may also grieve differently, leaving both partners feeling alone even while going through the same experience.
Our approach to infertility counseling creates a place where you don't have to minimize any of this or stay positive for someone else's comfort. Therapy can help you process grief and disappointment, manage anxiety around fertility treatments or IVF, navigate difficult decisions, communicate more openly with your partner, and work through the complicated emotions that can accompany infertility and pregnancy loss.
There is often grief in infertility even when there hasn't been a single identifiable loss. You may be grieving the timeline you expected, the family you imagined, a sense of control over your body, or the assumption that having children would happen naturally when you were ready.
Therapy won't take away the uncertainty of the process, but it can give you a place to carry it differently—to feel what you're actually feeling, stay connected to yourself and the people you love, and move through an incredibly difficult chapter without having to go through it alone.

Infertility
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.
