The journey to parenthood is often filled with uncertainty and emotional challenges. I provide compassionate support to individuals or couples dealing with infertility, helping them process feelings of grief, disappointment, and frustration while exploring coping strategies and fostering resilience, while utilizing my own experiences.

Kristy Fujiura Counseling
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Psy.D.
You never thought this would be so hard. You never thought this would happen to you. You’re broken-hearted. Why does it seem like everyone else’s body seems to be able to do what yours can’t? You feel helpless and hopeless.
And the worst part is that you feel so very alone. You’re surrounded by people who don’t know what to say, or who end up saying something that hurts you. They don’t understand how tiring it is to feel joy for someone else while you grieve for yourself. So you feel all the feelings - angry, anxious, sad, desperate. All while keeping that smile on your face. At every baby shower, every pregnancy announcement, every gender reveal.
You’ve been carrying this alone for long enough. I’ve been there too. Your pain is real. Will you let me journey with you?

With many years of experience in the field of foster care and adoption—including six years as an Adoption Assessor and Birthparent Counselor—I’ve had the privilege of supporting numerous families through the emotional and practical steps of this journey. 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.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with clients who have experienced infertility struggles and/or have attempted pregnancy with the help of an egg donor, sperm donor, gestational carrier, and/or IVF. Many people in this situation find it extremely beneficial to work with a therapist to help them cope as best they can with the stress and sense of loss they have been experiencing and to help navigate the paths they would like to take moving forward in their lives. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see.

Waterbury is a post-industrial Connecticut city historically known as the 'Brass City' for its dominant role in American brass and clock manufacturing industries, which have largely departed, leaving behind significant economic challenges and one of the higher poverty rates in a state that ranks among the nation's wealthiest. The city has a large Puerto Rican population, and Spanish-language therapy is an essential component of the mental health landscape alongside services for communities from across Latin America and more recently Africa. Saint Mary's Hospital and Waterbury Hospital provide behavioral health services, and community health centers serve the significant Medicaid and uninsured population. Common therapy concerns include poverty-related stress, immigration and diaspora identity, substance use (Waterbury has been significantly affected by opioids), depression, anxiety, and the compounding challenges of accessing mental health care in a struggling city still working to define itself beyond its industrial past.
