If you’re navigating a fertility journey, you know how layered, emotional, and often isolating it can feel. The uncertainty, the waiting, the hope, the grief—sometimes all at once. It’s not something that can be easily explained, and too often, it’s something people carry quietly.

We believe no one should have to move through this experience alone.

On May 21 from 6–8PM The Nest and Downstream Psychotherapy welcome you for a gentle, supportive evening created for individuals experiencing infertility. This is a space to be heard, seen, and listened to—without pressure, without expectation.

In collaboration with The Nest Wellness and Downstream Psychotherapy, this open house is an opportunity to:

– Connect with others who understand
– Explore an optional individual art therapy experience
– Learn about supportive resources
– Share your voice and help shape future community offerings
– Simply be in a space that holds you, just as you are

Light refreshments will be available, and our team will be there to support conversation, answer questions, and begin building a community rooted in care and connection.

This is the first of many gatherings we hope will continue to support those moving through infertility—with compassion, openness, and respect for every unique journey.

Registration is recommended

We look forward to welcoming you.

We are pleased to share that our clinicians Michael and Paul are both currently accepting new clients.

Michael brings experience supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, neurodiversity, and family conflict. He tailors therapy to each unique individual, drawing from CBT, Family Systems, ABA, IFS, Integrative, and Relational approaches while working with individuals, couples, and families.

Clients appreciate Michael’s warm, collaborative style and the safe, non-judgmental space he creates for exploration and growth.

Paul supports individuals and couples working through anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family conflict, grief, and major life transitions. Using Narrative Therapy, Humanistic approaches, CBT, and MBTI-informed insights, he helps clients build self-awareness and navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence.

Clients value Paul’s grounded, reflective presence and his ability to help them reconnect with their inner compass.
