I'm Lindsay Merrell, LCSW, a licensed fertility therapist and reproductive mental health specialist serving women throughout Texas. As a Mental Health Professional Member of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), I provide compassionate online therapy for infertility, IVF and IUI support, pregnancy loss, miscarriage grief, postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, and perinatal mental health challenges. I specialize in helping women navigate the emotional trauma of failed IVF cycles, recurrent pregnancy loss, secondary infertility, and the grief of involuntary childlessness. Whether you're struggling with the anxiety of fertility treatment, processing birth trauma, healing from eating disorders, or rebuilding your relationship with your body after pregnancy loss, I provide a safe, judgment-free space for your healing. If you're exhausted from pretending everything is fine while battling infertility depression, IVF anxiety, or maternal mental health struggles, you don't have to do this alone. I provide virtual therapy across San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Dallas, and all of Texas—meeting you where you are with empathy, expertise, and real support when you need it most.

Approach to Therapy

My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and body image therapy to address the unique mental health challenges women face during preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum. I also offer couples therapy for partners experiencing fertility treatment strain, communication breakdown, and intimacy issues related to infertility.
