Marissa Nelson, founder of Fertility Haven, has been a practicing therapist helping individuals and couples for the past decade. Her focus on reproductive mental health stems from her love of therapeutic work and her own experience with infertility and IVF. For four years prior to conception, she endured the pain and challenges of infertility, suffering in silence. She chose to transform hopelessness into empowerment by speaking on mental health panels at fertility conferences and creating reproductive mental health educational programs and content for leading fertility providers to support all couples during their fertility journey.
