Erin Anderson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MS, MSW, LCSW
I offer compassionate support to individuals and families navigating the challenges of infertility or going through the adoption process. I provide a safe and understanding space for clients to process their emotions, explore their options, and work through the complexities of these life transitions. Using a strengths-based and personalized approach, I help individuals cope with grief, uncertainty, and the emotional ups and downs that often accompany infertility and adoption. Through mindfulness, resilience-building techniques, and practical strategies, I guide clients toward healing, empowerment, and a sense of clarity as they move forward on their journey to parenthood.

Theresa McCay Boutross
Marriage and Family Therapist, LCSW, CADC. CMFT
As an adoptee, a seven-year infertility patient, and a mother who has built her family through adoption, I bring a unique blend of personal and professional experience to my work as an Adoption Competent Therapist. My specialty encompasses a wide range of topics, including identity formation, attachment, closed and open adoptions, loss and grief, and marital stressors. I am dedicated to assisting families navigating life stage challenges, whether they are formed through egg or sperm donation, adoption, or blended family systems.
With a compassionate and informed approach, I provide support and guidance to parents and individuals as they explore the complexities of their experiences, enhancing understanding and fostering healthier relationships. Together, we can create a safe space to address your unique challenges and promote healing and growth within your family. Let’s embark on this transformative journey toward connection and resilience together.

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.

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.
