Getting to know Shelley-Anne Walker
"Infertility is not just a medical experience - it is an emotional one.
If you are navigating IVF, IUI, pregnancy loss, delayed motherhood, or difficult family-building decisions, you may be carrying grief that feels invisible to others. The uncertainty, repeated hope and disappointment, financial stress, relationship strain, and identity shifts can feel overwhelming - especially while managing work and daily responsibilities.
I specialize in supporting women and couples navigating:
• IVF and IUI treatment stress
• Infertility-related anxiety and depression
• Recurrent pregnancy loss
• Reproductive trauma
• Decision fatigue around continuing or stopping treatment
• Third-party reproduction (egg donation, surrogacy)
• Oncology-related fertility loss
• Grief related to the family you imagined
With over 20 years of clinical experience, including oncology social work, I bring a trauma-informed and grief-informed lens to fertility work. I understand how medical systems, bodily autonomy, and uncertainty intersect in deeply personal ways.
In Our Work Together You Can Expect:
• A space where your grief is acknowledged and validated
• Support managing treatment-related anxiety and emotional swings
• Tools to regulate your nervous system during high-stress cycles
• Help strengthening communication with your partner
• Clarity around values-based decision making
• Support rebuilding identity beyond fertility struggles
Infertility can shake your sense of control, your confidence in your body, and your vision for the future. Therapy offers space to process what has happened, tolerate uncertainty, and move forward with steadiness.
I provide telehealth therapy throughout California and offer a collaborative, grounded, and emotionally attuned approach.
If you’re ready for support that understands both the psychological and medical complexity of infertility, I welcome you to reach out and connect with me. "

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
