Infertility
Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Some of the most joyous moments in life also have the potential to be the most painful. The world doesn’t seem fair when some women get pregnant just by looking at their partners, or so it would seem, while others try for months, and then begin to time their cycles, and finally start exploring other options. The infertility journey is long and confusing—full of needle pricks, doctor’s appointments and strange or inappropriate questions from friends and loved ones. And if you’re part of a queer couple, you can multiply those strange and inappropriate questions by a factor of two, or maybe three. But then it happens, you get the news: X number of healthy embryos. Yay! Except they are all boys, you really wanted a girl, but that’s okay, you just want a healthy baby. But then, your first implantation doesn’t take. So you have to try again. Success! At least at first. Miscarriages are also an all too common, intensely painful part of this process. It starts to feel like your body is betraying you. Or what if you don’t have all of the necessary parts to carry the child and you need to use a surrogate? The first one doesn’t work out, and the second one doesn’t pass psychological testing and number three, well, unfortunately after three unsuccessful tries, it’s time to look for number four. When will it end? And when will it be your turn for a healthy baby? Therapeutic support from someone who understands the process can help you feel less alone as you navigate the decisions, the ups and downs, and the journey to becoming your own self-educated endocrinologist (kidding, sort of…).

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.
