Infertility
Daniel Slavin
Marriage and Family Therapist
I support individuals and couples facing infertility or adoption through the emotional complexity, grief, uncertainty, and identity shifts involved. Therapy offers space to process loss, manage stress, and navigate these experiences with greater resilience and self-compassion.

Infertility
Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Infertility can be a lonely journey. Friends and family may try to be supportive, but it is often hard for them to truly understand the roller coaster of monthly disappointments, the intangible loss of a miscarriage, or the deep yearning every time you see a baby or pregnant belly. I am here to support women in the infertility journey, no matter which stage of the path you are on. I can help you find strategies for managing your stress and making decisions if you are still in the process of trying treatments, or walk with you as you grieve what could have been and build a life of meaning if you are childless-not-by-choice.

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.

Santa Maria is a Central Coast California city in Santa Barbara County with one of California's largest proportions of Latino residents and an economy anchored by agriculture, oil, and wine production—particularly in the nearby Santa Maria Valley wine region—and the mental health landscape reflects the specific challenges of a working-class agricultural community where many residents are farmworkers or their family members, facing occupational health risks, economic precarity, immigration stress, and limited access to services. Marian Regional Medical Center provides health services, and community health organizations serve the significant uninsured and underinsured farmworker population, though the gap between mental health need and available culturally competent Spanish-language care is persistent. Common therapy concerns include farmworker stress and occupational health, immigration trauma and undocumented status anxiety, family and intergenerational dynamics in a community navigating significant acculturation pressures, and access barriers in a city where the majority population is often underserved by formal mental health systems.
