Psychological Impacts of Infertility and Infertility Treatments | Dr. Kelly Baek and Susan Hammoudeh, Psy.D.
Susan Hammoudeh is a Clinical Psychologist, specializing in reproductive trauma and perinatal mental heath. She received her doctoral degree from the Adler School of Professional Psychology in 2009 and has been licensed since 2011. Her training has been heavily trauma based, as has been her ongoing work. Susan's own personal experiences led her into the field of reproductive trauma. She became aware of the critical need to support those dealing with fertility issues as it is often a struggle that is dealt with in isolation and shame.
Dr. Kelly Baek is a world-renowned fertility specialist and partner at California Fertility Partners. She is known for her unique relatability with her patients as she also struggled with fertility herself.
Most of Dr. Baek’s patients are referrals from friends and family of former patients, travelling from all parts of the world to receive her individualized care.
Dr. Baek is double-board certified in both Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility and Obstetrics and Gynecology. A Los Angeles native, she attended the Marlborough School, graduated with honors from Johns Hopkins University, and earned her medical degree from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. She completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the New York University Langone Medical Center, and her postdoctoral fellowship training in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center.
She is recognized as one of Los Angeles Magazine’s Top Doctors and Southern California’s Super Doctors. Dr. Baek was featured in the 2019 Vogue article “How California Became the World’s Fertility Treatment Destination,” and in the Netflix series Bling Empire.
Passionate about social change, she is a board member of Habits of Waste, a non-profit that protects the environment by finding solutions to create collective societal change. Dr. Baek is a member of the Leadership Circle of Visionary Women, a non-profit that brings awareness to womens’ issues and advances leadership opportunities for women globally.
Dr. Baek is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Dr. Baek resides in Southern California with her husband and three teenage sons.
“I know firsthand how scary and frustrating infertility can be. It’s empowering to know I can help patients with my personal and professional experience.”
