Samantha Schaefer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
The path to building a family can bring unexpected grief, frustration, and longing. I support individuals and couples navigating infertility, adoption, and the complex emotions that come with both—helping you feel grounded and seen through each step. I also specialize in working with individuals who are adopted better understand their identity and their own story as an adoptee.

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.

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…).
