Infertility or Adoption
Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Having been through infertility treatment with my partner many years ago, and having gone through the County Adoption training, and working with many adoptive families over the years, I have some perspective on these issues that some therapists may not.

Struggling with infertility can feel like a relentless cycle of hope and heartbreak. I offer individual, couples, and group therapy to support you through the emotional complexities of this journey.

I welcome all family structures and offer inclusive care for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. Whether you’re exploring assisted reproduction, adoption, or are in the midst of uncertainty, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion, insight, and support.

Infertility or Adoption
Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Adoption is a lifelong experience — not a single event. I work with the full adoption constellation: adult and teen adoptees navigating identity, grief, and attachment; adoptive parents learning how to support their children and themselves; birth parents carrying grief that rarely gets acknowledged; and families touched by domestic, international, foster care, and transracial adoption. As an adoptee myself, with adoption competency training, I bring both clinical expertise and lived understanding to this work. The issues adoption creates don't resolve in childhood — they show up in your relationships, your sense of self, and your capacity for intimacy long into adulthood.

Infertility or Adoption
Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Infertility and the journey toward adoption are among the most emotionally demanding experiences adults and couples face — marked by hope, grief, uncertainty, and an emotional toll that is rarely acknowledged by those around you. As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in reproductive mental health, fertility-related anxiety, pregnancy loss, IVF emotional support, and adoption adjustment, I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored specifically to the unique challenges of family building. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I help individuals and couples navigate each stage of the process with greater emotional resilience and clarity. Telehealth therapy for infertility available across 40+ states.

Infertility or Adoption
Dr. Megie Shean
Psychologist, PsyD
The longing to parent is a hard and sometimes isolating experience. The waiting, paperwork, and pain can increase distress. I can support you in this time.
7 Years Experience
Online in Akron, OH Ohio (Online Only)
Akron's identity as the 'Rubber City' — once the world capital of tire manufacturing — has given way to a post-industrial economy navigating transformation, and therapists here frequently address the long-term psychological effects of deindustrialization: economic stress, community grief, and the identity challenges of a workforce that has had to reinvent itself across generations. The city is home to the University of Akron and has a growing health sciences and polymer science sector, creating a more economically diverse population than its industrial reputation suggests. Summa Health System and Cleveland Clinic Akron General provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community concentrated in West Akron, Fairlawn, and the Highland Square neighborhood. Akron's significant Black community and the city's ongoing recovery from decades of economic decline shape a therapy culture in which community resilience and racial equity are recurring clinical themes.
