Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
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. Whether couples are coping with fertility struggles or exploring adoption, they often are confronted with difficulties in their sexual life. Therapy opens conversations so sexuality can be a source of love, connection, and healing during these tumultuous times.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with clients who have experienced infertility struggles and/or have attempted pregnancy with the help of an egg donor, sperm donor, gestational carrier, and/or IVF. Many people in this situation find it extremely beneficial to work with a therapist to help them cope as best they can with the stress and sense of loss they have been experiencing and to help navigate the paths they would like to take moving forward in their lives. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see.

Barry Lipscomb
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Fertility journeys can be quite frustrating, especially as it gets extended and you are not finding success regardless of the path you take. There can be feelings of inadequacy and disappointment that your body is not responding as you would like. After failed attempts at IVF you might find yourself experiencing loss and grieving for the pregnancy that isn't happening. Women and couples often keep their experience to themselves putting on a brave face each day as their journey lingers on. I have worked with women using hypnotherapy to work through this grief and loss, and explore if past trauma or limiting beliefs in their subconscious is affecting their ability to conceive.
