Dr. Nelson works with families who are considering adoption or who are going through the pre-adoption assessment process. All of our therapists work with individuals and families regarding issues of infertility and loss.
I provide emotional support, coping strategies, and guidance for clients like you who are navigating the complexities of fertility treatments and adoption. I help individuals and couples process the grief and loss associated with infertility, assist in exploring options such as surrogacy or donor conception, as well as emotionally coping with the adoption process.
One of the most exciting time in one's life can be the birth or adoption of a child. Roadblocks in our way can be frustrating, tiresome, and emotionally draining. I am aware firsthand of these difficulties.
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.
