Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Experiences related to infertility and adoption can bring intense emotions, stress, grief, uncertainty, and complex relationship challenges for couples. Gottman Method couples therapy offers a supportive space to navigate these experiences together with greater understanding, communication, and emotional connection. Therapy actively guides couples through difficult emotions, strengthens their partnership during periods of uncertainty, and creates space for both shared and individual experiences within the journey to parenthood. Whether couples are coping with fertility struggles or exploring adoption, they often are confronted with difficulties in their sexual life. Therapy opens conversations so sexuality can be a source of love, connection, and healing during these tumultuous times.

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.

Cynthia Leslie
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, MA, CPRS
Couples who face infertility can often struggle in their relationships. Infertility and miscarriage can also cause a crisis of faith because people question why God allows it. I can help couples process their loss, pain, and issues related to their faith.
