Infertility

Danae Merrill (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Certified Rehabilitation Counselor

The experience of infertility is too often a process that is endured quietly. However the grief and pain that accompanies infertility is significant and needs a space to be held, validated, nurtured, and seen. It is my hope that people do not endure this process independently and seek extra support in the wake of this experience.

Gillian Callahan (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, MA

Infertility and pregnancy loss are just two of many reproductive experiences that don’t follow the socially supported narrative. For folks not represented in that narrative the pain is isolating and demoralizing. The het/cis-normative imperative that says our bodies don’t matter unless we reproduce, in biologically prescribed gender-role-confirming ways, reduces our value to lines on a pregnancy test. I work to provide the help I needed and couldn't find when I was going through it myself.

Matia Kelly, MA, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

I know firsthand that issues surrounding fertility are emotionally, physically and financially grueling, and at times devastating. Without support, the experience of infertility can take a toll on your self-esteem, quality of life, work, and relationships. I provide an environment where you can experience the highs and lows, losses and celebrations and figure out how to cope.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, MEd, CST

Experiencing fertility challenges can be an incredibly painful and isolating experience. Working with a therapist that "gets it" can help you feel supported through medical appointments, painful conversations with family and friends, and all the ups and downs on your journey to parenthood. I completed training through the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and am a Certified Sex Therapist. I provide kind, supportive care for those struggling with fertility challenges.

Helping women process and find acceptance for their unique fertility and motherhood journey. Helping hold space for things we cannot control.

Alisha Phillips (She/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

A club where no one wants to be a member. Infertility is fraught with layers of self-identity, grief and loss, and challenges to communication and self-care. I have had extended training in this topic, as well as personal experience.

Kendyl Watts (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

The experience of infertility may be the hardest thing an individual or couple has ever faced. I have a deep understanding of the toll it can take on a person's energy, mood, relationships, sense of worth, finances, and more. I can help you reclaim a sense of balance and strength so that you can continue working hard toward your dream of building your family.

Tina Lilly, MS LPC

I have worked with women and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving and/or keeping a pregnancy for the past seven years, and have facilitated fertility/adoption support groups via Brief Encounters.

Regina Tricamo (She/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW

I have experience working with individuals and couples, LGBTQ+ and straight, who are considering choices about parenthood - through pregnancy, reproductive interventions or adoption.

Heather Mitchell

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, LMHC

For many years I have been working with clients who are experiencing the trials, fears, and potential grief and loss due to infertility and/or miscarriage. This can be a difficult, very isolating experience(s). It can help to have someone safe to talk to and gain support from.

Gillian Chachere

Qualified Mental Health Professional

I have had personal experience with infertility and pregnancy loss that informs my work. There are unique struggles around infertility and pregnancy loss, and it's often difficult to feel understood by someone who hasn't been through it.
