Los Angeles, California therapist: Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT, marriage and family therapist
Infertility or Adoption

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Some of the most joyous moments in life also have the potential to be the most painful. The world doesn’t seem fair when some women get pregnant just by looking at their partners, or so it would seem, while others try for months, and then begin to time their cycles, and finally start exploring other options. The infertility journey is long and confusing—full of needle pricks, doctor’s appointments and strange or inappropriate questions from friends and loved ones. And if you’re part of a queer couple, you can multiply those strange and inappropriate questions by a factor of two, or maybe three. But then it happens, you get the news: X number of healthy embryos. Yay! Except they are all boys, you really wanted a girl, but that’s okay, you just want a healthy baby. But then, your first implantation doesn’t take. So you have to try again. Success! At least at first. Miscarriages are also an all too common, intensely painful part of this process. It starts to feel like your body is betraying you. Or what if you don’t have all of the necessary parts to carry the child and you need to use a surrogate? The first one doesn’t work out, and the second one doesn’t pass psychological testing and number three, well, unfortunately after three unsuccessful tries, it’s time to look for number four. When will it end? And when will it be your turn for a healthy baby? Therapeutic support from someone who understands the process can help you feel less alone as you navigate the decisions, the ups and downs, and the journey to becoming your own self-educated endocrinologist (kidding, sort of…).

Los Angeles, California therapist: Elaine Barrington, licensed clinical social worker
Infertility or Adoption

Elaine Barrington

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As an adoptive parent and professional I particularly enjoy working with parents as they navigate the adoption process. I work with parents both at pre and post placement on the many complex issues associated with adoption. I also work with many later in life parents and am familiar with the many challenges and unique ways that families are often formed at this stage of life. It is helpful to work with someone who understands this unique experience and the challenges and also recognizes the many wonderful ways that we each define family.

Fewer things in life can feel as powerless as the fertility journey. We help individuals and couples navigate these experiences to have healthier conversations and allow these hardships to bring them closer to themselves or one another rather than it tearing them apart.
