Infertility
Erica Schultz
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC< NCC
I use EMDR therapy to support individuals navigating the emotional complexities of infertility and adoption. Experiences such as fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, medical interventions, uncertainty, grief, and the adoption journey can create significant emotional stress and feelings of loss, anxiety, shame, or overwhelm. EMDR can help clients process these difficult experiences, reduce emotional distress, and work through the grief and uncertainty that often accompany.

Infertility
Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Infertility and the adoption process can bring overwhelming emotions—grief, hope, frustration, and uncertainty. Therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space to process the emotional ups and downs, strengthen coping strategies, and find meaning through the journey. Whether you’re facing fertility challenges, exploring adoption, or adjusting to life after these transitions, therapy can help you manage stress, nurture your relationships, and care for your emotional well-being.

Infertility
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people whose path to or through parenthood has been different from what they hoped or imagined. This may include primary or secondary infertility, long periods of trying without a child arriving, pregnancy loss, termination, birth trauma, NICU experiences, postpartum distress, or the complex emotions that can arise before or after adoption.
Many people in this situation feel like they are living in a different world from friends and family. You may be surrounded by pregnancies, baby announcements, or parenting conversations while carrying your own mix of grief, anger, longing, relief, guilt, or numbness.
In our work together, we make space for the full reality of your experience, including the parts that feel confusing or hard to say out loud. We may explore the emotional impact of fertility treatments, medical procedures, NICU stays, long periods of uncertainty, or the decision to stop trying; grief after miscarriage, stillbirth, or other forms of loss, including the loss of a hoped‑for future; the strain these experiences place on relationships and daily life; identity questions around becoming a parent, not becoming a parent, or becoming a parent through adoption; and the layered emotions that can show up during pregnancy, in the NICU, or after a child arrives.
My intention is not to rush you toward acceptance or silver linings, but to offer a place where your story is honored, your feelings make sense, and you do not have to hold this on your own. This is central to my work, and I hold these stories with deep care.

Infertility
Monica Pitek-Fugedi
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, NCC, CCATP
Infertility can bring with it feelings of loss, brokenness, hurt, and confusion. For many, the one thing that they thought would be certain is now creating a cloud of sadness. When living with infertility, we are often faced with decisions that we never dreamed that we would have to make.
Sometimes people choose to adopt after finding that they cannot bear a child, while others feel called to adopt. With either option, the joy of parenting takes on another dimension as you may find yourself grappling with understanding your adopted child, managing a relationship with biological parents, or making the decision to adopt domestically or internationally.
I understand these feels of loss, overwhelm and sadness as I have lived with infertility and have also adopted.
