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.

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.

The road to expanding a family can be an emotional rollercoaster that leaves you feeling lonely, overwhelmed, and disconnected from your own body. I provide a steady, safe space to process the intense grief, anxiety, and identity shifts that come with infertility, IVF, and postpartum depression.

Leigh Ann Lichty | INNER FLOW Counseling & Art Therapy, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ATR-BC
Infertility is ongoing stress, decision-making, grief and loss. It challenges our relationships, life plans, sense of purpose, body trust, and identity. It can also bring couples and relationships closer and challenge you to get in touch with your needs and what matters most in your life. I have been through my own infertility journey and also supported Clients through infertility in all the areas mentioned above. I would be honored to walk along with you and be part of your support system as you follow your heart and dreams.
