Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
As an adoptive parent who went through infertility treatment many years ago, I’m particularly attuned to how this puts pressure on a couple. It can also be quite overwhelming and can cause people to feel like they are on a roller-coaster ride. Often couples need to come in for support together. Or one partner needs extra support.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people whose path to or through parenthood has been different from what they hoped or imagined. This may include primary or secondary infertility, long periods of trying without a child arriving, pregnancy loss, termination, birth trauma, NICU experiences, postpartum distress, or the complex emotions that can arise before or after adoption.
Many people in this situation feel like they are living in a different world from friends and family. You may be surrounded by pregnancies, baby announcements, or parenting conversations while carrying your own mix of grief, anger, longing, relief, guilt, or numbness.
In our work together, we make space for the full reality of your experience, including the parts that feel confusing or hard to say out loud. We may explore the emotional impact of fertility treatments, medical procedures, NICU stays, long periods of uncertainty, or the decision to stop trying; grief after miscarriage, stillbirth, or other forms of loss, including the loss of a hoped‑for future; the strain these experiences place on relationships and daily life; identity questions around becoming a parent, not becoming a parent, or becoming a parent through adoption; and the layered emotions that can show up during pregnancy, in the NICU, or after a child arrives.
My intention is not to rush you toward acceptance or silver linings, but to offer a place where your story is honored, your feelings make sense, and you do not have to hold this on your own. This is central to my work, and I hold these stories with deep care.

Kristy Fujiura Counseling
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Psy.D.
You never thought this would be so hard. You never thought this would happen to you. You’re broken-hearted. Why does it seem like everyone else’s body seems to be able to do what yours can’t? You feel helpless and hopeless.
And the worst part is that you feel so very alone. You’re surrounded by people who don’t know what to say, or who end up saying something that hurts you. They don’t understand how tiring it is to feel joy for someone else while you grieve for yourself. So you feel all the feelings - angry, anxious, sad, desperate. All while keeping that smile on your face. At every baby shower, every pregnancy announcement, every gender reveal.
You’ve been carrying this alone for long enough. I’ve been there too. Your pain is real. Will you let me journey with you?
