Infertility
Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Infertility is a grief that our culture doesn't know how to hold. It's invisible, cyclical and relentless — and often accompanied by isolation because people around you don't know what to say. Whether you're navigating infertility, loss, the decision to stop trying, or the complex emotions that can accompany adoption, Simple Empathy offers a space where the full weight of your experience is welcome. No toxic positivity. No pressure to feel hopeful before you're ready. Just honest, present support for one of the hardest things a person can carry.

Infertility
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.

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.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
There is nothing more painful than wanting to have children and being unable to. Infertility issues can bring a tremendous amount of stress to bear on a relationship. Sometime Adoption becomes a part of the conversation when infertility is an issue, and while adoption is a wonderful possibility and noble act, it can also be fraught with anxiety and stress. There is a grief process that happens to bring closure to the possibilities we wish we had and to prepare our hearts for the realities we can have and which we may not have considered before. If you are struggling with issues around infertility and adoption, Growth and Change Counseling is a safe practice that can help you.
