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.

Christine Sparacino
Psychologist, PsyD
I have experience helping clients with fertility trauma and loss. Couples experiencing fertility challenges can feel alone and isolated. My hope is for therapy to reduce the feelings of isolation and to process your fertility story.

My experience includes working with both child and adult adoptees, as well as couples navigating infertility, fertility treatments, and adoption options. Grounded in attachment and relational approaches, I support clients in exploring the grief, hope, identity, and belonging issues these experiences can bring. Through IFS, I help clients make room for conflicting feelings and approach decisions with greater clarity and compassion.
