Marielle Skouras, LMFT, PMH-C

Welcome to my practice. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Perinatal Mental Health professional, and the founder of Fertility Psychotherapy Group. I specialize in supporting individuals and couples through the emotional challenges of infertility, pregnancy, and the postpartum period.  

My own complex journey through infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery has fueled my passion for this work. I know firsthand how isolating and overwhelming this path can feel. It's my mission to help you navigate it with resilience, hope, and strength.

What sets Fertility Psychotherapy Group apart is not just professional expertise, but the deep empathy that comes from lived experience. This shared understanding forms the foundation of my therapeutic approach, ensuring that you receive both clinical expertise and heartfelt support every step of the way. 

If you are considering therapy for infertility, pregnancy, or postpartum challenges, I invite you to reach out. You don't have to face this journey alone. ​​

Rebecca Steen, MS, AMFT

My name is Rebecca Steen, and I am an AMFT/ APCC. I work with individuals and couples navigating the emotional complexities of infertility, fertility treatment, and family-building. These experiences can bring uncertainty, grief, and emotional exhaustion, especially when life unfolds differently than you imagined. When this happens, it can often impact how we see ourselves, our relationships, and our sense of meaning. I aim to offer a space where your experience is held with care, curiosity, and compassion.

My work is grounded in clinical training and informed by my own journey with infertility, which has shaped both my empathy and my commitment to this work. I understand how consuming fertility-related stress can be and how it can impact emotional well-being, relationships, and one’s sense of self. In therapy, I support clients in making sense of their experiences, tending to anxiety and grief, and reconnecting with steadiness and meaning during an often unpredictable process.

I take a collaborative, compassionate approach to therapy, meeting clients where they are and moving at a pace that feels supportive. Our work together may include exploring emotional patterns, strengthening coping skills, and creating space for both difficult feelings and moments of hope. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, resilient, and empowered as they navigate the many emotional layers of family-building — whatever that journey looks like for them.
