Infertility
Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
Infertility, pregnancy loss, and the adoption process can be deeply isolating and misunderstood, even by well‑meaning people. In our work, we make space for grief, anger, hope, and complex family dynamics while supporting you in making informed, values‑based decisions along your reproductive or adoption journey.

Infertility
Barry Lipscomb
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Fertility journeys can be quite frustrating, especially as it gets extended and you are not finding success regardless of the path you take. There can be feelings of inadequacy and disappointment that your body is not responding as you would like. After failed attempts at IVF you might find yourself experiencing loss and grieving for the pregnancy that isn't happening. Women and couples often keep their experience to themselves putting on a brave face each day as their journey lingers on. I have worked with women using hypnotherapy to work through this grief and loss, and explore if past trauma or limiting beliefs in their subconscious is affecting their ability to conceive.

Lisa J. Taylor
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Navigating the paths of infertility and adoption can be deeply emotional and complex. I provide a compassionate, affirming space for individuals and couples exploring all family-building options--including fertility treatments, adoption, remaining child-free, or finding peace in uncertainty. My approach honors every journey and every choice, recognizing that there is no one "right" way to create or define a family. Together, we'll work through the hope, growth, and even grief that can come with these experiences, helping you feel grounded, supported, and empowered in whatever path you choose. Please note that I also provide parenting sessions for families with adopted or foster children. I also provide pre-adoption psychological evaluations for potential parents as part of international adoption requirements.

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.

Lauren Chavis
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Trying to build a family can bring uncertainty, grief, anxiety, difficult decisions, and a loss of control that can be hard for others to fully understand. I work with individuals and couples navigating infertility, fertility treatment, pregnancy loss, and other challenges related to family building, providing a place to process both the emotional impact and the decisions that come with it.
