Lisa Panelo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MS, LCSW, CTMH
My journey to parenthood has shaped deeply who I am, both as a person, and as a therapist. I understand the dream of being a parent, and the emotional ups and downs that come with learning that the journey would not be as easy or natural as expected. I have walked the paths of being diagnosed with infertility, and the challenges of pursuing ARTS treatment. I have also walked the path of choosing to adopt, the challenges and delays that come with the adoption process, along with the joy of becoming a parent. Along with the choice to be a parent via adoption, I've learned to support my child in all the challenges they experience as a child of adoption, and learn to recognize and support all children who find families via adoption and supporting them with the difficult past they experienced in finding their forever family, and adjusting to their new family. These journeys to family-building are a different path and all deserve respect and support.

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.

Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
Parenting is an extraordinary experience that, for some, may be difficult or impossible to have. Of course, this can be terribly painful. I work with many people who struggle with infertility, and the roller coaster of emotions it can produce. Some couples really struggle to turn toward each other at these times, and counseling can help to un-do alone-ness and improve communication.
