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 can create unique challenges within a relationship. It can also strain other relationships. I work with clients to help them navigate the grief of infertility, and to explore what their future options may be.

Infertility
Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Infertility and adoption journeys are deeply emotional experiences that can bring hope, grief, joy, and uncertainty—all at once. I specialize in supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate the complex emotions and decisions that accompany both infertility and the adoption process.
For those facing infertility, therapy offers a safe and compassionate space to process feelings of loss, guilt, anger, and disappointment. Together, we work to reduce the isolation that so often accompanies fertility challenges, strengthen coping strategies, and improve communication between partners as they move through difficult choices about treatment, timing, or next steps.
For adoptive and pre-adoptive parents, my work focuses on preparing emotionally for the realities of adoption, understanding attachment and trauma-informed parenting, and navigating the evolving relationships between birth families, adoptive families, and children. I also work with individuals experiencing post-adoption adjustment issues, including identity changes, unexpected stressors, or grief over unmet expectations.
Using cognitive-behavioral and family systems approaches, therapy focuses on helping clients identify and manage anxious or depressive symptoms, cultivate resilience, and foster a sense of empowerment through each phase of the journey.
My goal is to provide steady, compassionate guidance through life’s most sensitive transitions—helping clients find strength, understanding, and meaning along the way.

Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
We support individuals and couples navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, and the emotional complexity of adoption journeys. These experiences often carry layers of grief, uncertainty, isolation, and difficult decisions that others may not fully understand. Many clients struggle with feelings of loss, shame, anger, or fear about the future, while also trying to function in their daily lives. Our approach provides a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to process these emotions, honor the reality of what has been lost or changed, and explore what comes next. We help clients reconnect with themselves, strengthen their relationships, and move forward in ways that feel emotionally grounded, authentic, and aligned with their values - whatever their path may look like.
