Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
The journey through infertility, reproductive challenges, and the uncertainty of trying to conceive can be an incredibly lonely, heartbreaking, and anxiety-inducing path. Anne provides a warm, deeply validating, and collaborative space for individuals and couples navigating the profound emotional toll of fertility treatments, pregnancy loss, and reproductive trauma. As a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) and Certified Grief Informed Professional, she helps clients process the invisible grief, systemic stress, and identity shifts that so often accompany the struggle to build a family.
Anne’s integrative approach pairs evidence-based psychotherapy with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and creative art therapy. These tools are uniquely powerful for fertility support—offering tangible ways to calm a hyper-vigilant nervous system, manage the anxiety of "the two-week wait," and express complex feelings of anger, hope, and body betrayal when words feel insufficient. Whether you are navigating IVF, processing a medical diagnosis affecting your fertility, weathering professional burnout alongside treatment, or grieving a loss, Anne is dedicated to helping you protect your mental health and reclaim a sense of agency.

Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist specializing in infertility and adoption.
Infertility carries a grief that is cumulative and cyclical: another month of hope, another negative test, another round of treatment that asks a great deal of your body and your marriage. It is also frequently invisible, mourned privately while everyone around you announces pregnancies. Adoption brings its own terrain, including a process that requires you to be evaluated, waiting without a timeline, and feelings about not conceiving that do not simply resolve once a child arrives.
I work psychoanalytically, which means there is room for grief that has had nowhere to go. What you are carrying has an unconscious logic worth understanding, often touching questions about your body, your worth, and what you assumed your life would hold. Mourning does not run on a schedule here.
If you are moving through infertility treatment, adoption, or the long uncertainty of either, I would be glad to talk.
