Jennifer Masters
Life Coach, Ba Psychology, CF Thanatology, D Kessler – Grief Grief Coach Certif,M Devine – Grief Coach Certif
Infertility carries a grief that often goes unrecognized — the loss of an imagined future, a pregnancy that didn't happen, or the child you longed for but haven't been able to have. As a Certified Thanatologist and Grief Coach with specialized training in reproductive and prenatal loss (COPE Prenatal Loss Certificate Program), I understand this as real grief, deserving real support. Together, we'll work through the sadness, loss of control, and isolation this journey can bring, so you feel less alone and more able to move forward with hope.

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.

Infertility
Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work closely with individuals and couples navigating infertility and the many paths to building a family, including adoption and assisted reproduction. These experiences often bring a unique mix of grief, uncertainty, hope, and pressure, and I provide both therapeutic support and practical guidance throughout the process.
In addition to therapy, I offer psychoeducation to help clients better understand and manage the emotional aspects of family building, as well as comprehensive psychological evaluations required for adoption, surrogacy, and donor-related processes. I understand how time-sensitive these steps can be, and—based on both my professional experience and personal understanding—I prioritize these appointments, offering a quick turnaround and minimal wait whenever possible.
My goal is to provide a steady, informed, and compassionate presence during what can be an intensely emotional journey, helping clients move forward with clarity, resilience, and confidence.

I understand the deep and complex issues that can arise along the way and approach each situation with empathy, sensitivity, and respect for every member of the family.

Bridgeport is Connecticut's largest city and one of the starkest examples of urban poverty in one of America's wealthiest states, with high rates of crime, poverty, and persistent economic inequality that create significant and underserved mental health need across the population. The city's majority Black and Latino communities have been most affected by decades of deindustrialization and disinvestment, and access to the quality mental health care available in wealthier Connecticut communities remains difficult for many Bridgeport residents. Bridgeport Hospital, part of Yale New Haven Health, provides behavioral health services, and community mental health centers offer some publicly funded care. Common therapy concerns include trauma, depression, anxiety, family and relationship stress, and the chronic psychological toll of living in a community where economic precarity is widespread and systemic barriers to well-being are persistent.
