About Us
Marielle Skouras, MA, LMFT
Hi, I’m Marielle. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Fertility Psychotherapy Group. I specialize in working with people struggling with infertility, pregnancy, and the postpartum period.
I understand the complex emotions, the uncertainties, and the heartache that infertility can bring, not just as a therapist but as someone who has personally walked this road. My own journey has fueled my passion for helping others facing similar struggles, and it's my mission to empower you to navigate this terrain with resilience, hope, and strength.
What sets Fertility Psychotherapy Group apart is not just professional expertise but the empathy and understanding that comes from lived experience. This shared experience forms the foundation of my therapeutic approach, ensuring that you receive not only clinical expertise but also genuine empathy and unwavering support. Infertility treatment is a complex process, and it’s so important to have a therapist who understands this process, so you don’t have to explain it. I understand the science, so we can focus on your emotions within the therapy space.
