Infertility
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. 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.

Infertility
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people whose path to or through parenthood has been different from what they hoped or imagined. This may include primary or secondary infertility, long periods of trying without a child arriving, pregnancy loss, termination, birth trauma, NICU experiences, postpartum distress, or the complex emotions that can arise before or after adoption.
Many people in this situation feel like they are living in a different world from friends and family. You may be surrounded by pregnancies, baby announcements, or parenting conversations while carrying your own mix of grief, anger, longing, relief, guilt, or numbness.
In our work together, we make space for the full reality of your experience, including the parts that feel confusing or hard to say out loud. We may explore the emotional impact of fertility treatments, medical procedures, NICU stays, long periods of uncertainty, or the decision to stop trying; grief after miscarriage, stillbirth, or other forms of loss, including the loss of a hoped‑for future; the strain these experiences place on relationships and daily life; identity questions around becoming a parent, not becoming a parent, or becoming a parent through adoption; and the layered emotions that can show up during pregnancy, in the NICU, or after a child arrives.
My intention is not to rush you toward acceptance or silver linings, but to offer a place where your story is honored, your feelings make sense, and you do not have to hold this on your own. This is central to my work, and I hold these stories with deep care.

Infertility
Tatiana Turo-Handy, PsyD., PMH-C
Psychologist, PsyD. PMH-C
Infertility can be an emotionally exhausting experience, filled with grief, uncertainty, and a sense of isolation. As a bilingual (Spanish/English) psychologist and PMH‑C certified clinician, I provide compassionate, evidence‑based support for individuals and couples navigating fertility challenges, medical treatments, and the complex emotions that arise throughout the journey. Therapy offers a space to process sadness, anxiety, frustration, and hope, while strengthening coping skills and rebuilding a sense of connection and resilience.
10 Years Experience
Online in Stamford, CT
Stamford is Connecticut's most economically dynamic city and a major center for hedge funds, financial services, and media companies, with a population that is more diverse than its wealthy reputation might suggest—including significant Black, Latino, and immigrant communities alongside the finance professionals who define the city's public image. The high-pressure finance and media industry culture creates substantial mental health demand around burnout, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the relational difficulties that come with demanding careers and high financial expectations. A well-developed private therapy sector serves Stamford's affluent professional class, while community health organizations address the mental health needs of lower-income residents in parts of the city that are far less prosperous than the downtown core. Common therapy concerns range from anxiety and burnout at the top of the economic spectrum to trauma, economic stress, and access barriers at the bottom, reflecting a city of pronounced contrasts.
