Seaford Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, M.Ed, LCMHC
When you’re struggling with infertility, it seems like everyone you know is pregnant or pushing a baby stroller! It is so difficult to avoid the question of “why me?“ Or “why can’t I be the one pushing that stroller?” It’s just not fair, is it? It’s not fair, and it’s not easy. You may even start to hate your body for refusing to do that thing that women have done since the beginning of time! However, your feelings are completely justifiable and completely normal for women in your shoes. Please allow me to listen, to comfort you, and to help you grieve. I am here for you today and until the day that you

Infertility
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Infertility and adoption are often talked about in overly simplified, polished ways—focused on outcomes instead of the complexity it takes to get there. What’s often left out are the layers of grief, loss, waiting, uncertainty, and the emotional toll of navigating systems that can feel invasive, inequitable, and out of your control. People are quick to offer platitudes or silver linings, while you’re left holding experiences that don’t fit neatly into those narratives. Cultural expectations around parenthood, family, and what it means to have children can add even more pressure, especially when your path doesn’t follow what’s been normalized or expected.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t rush you to acceptance or try to reframe your experience into something more “positive.” We make space for the full reality—grief alongside hope, anger alongside longing, and the complicated decisions that come with both infertility and adoption. We also name the systemic and cultural dynamics at play, including access to care, bias within medical and adoption systems, and the ways certain family structures are prioritized over others. Together, we help you process what you’ve been through, navigate ongoing decisions, and stay connected to yourself in the midst of it. This work is not about forcing closure—it’s about supporting you in moving through something that is deeply personal, often painful, and deserving of more honesty than it usually gets.

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.

Therapy opens conversations so sexuality can be a source of love, connection, and healing during these tumultuous times.
