Navigate the Challenges of your Fertility Journey: Compassionate Counseling for the Path Ahead
The emotional weight of infertility can feel overwhelming, and you shouldn't have to carry it alone. As therapists specializing in fertility counseling, we provide a space where all your feelings—hope, grief, frustration, and determination—are deeply understood and validated.
If you are struggling with infertility, you might be
Heartbroken. Angry. Scared.
Realizing you won't have a child in the timeframe you wanted or that it may not even be a guarantee…is heartbreaking.
Infertility can cause anxiety, depression, and grief, when it seems as though everyone around you is getting pregnant (or staying pregnant) without difficulty.
Infertility can be one of the most difficult challenges you will ever face in your life. Women struggling with infertility are much more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression.
You find yourself struggling with feelings of loss, grief, sadness, anxiety, and anger in a constant cycle.
It affects your marriage.
It affects your friendships.
And it most certainly affects the relationship you have with yourself.
Infertility is a devastating diagnosis.
We offer specialized support for individuals and couples facing fertility challenges.
We offer guidance and infertility support through fertility counseling, providing families with coping strategies for the emotional ups and downs, and tools for managing relationships and self-care during this demanding time. Our approach to therapy for infertility allows you to develop ways in honor your experience while maintaining hope and resilience, no matter where your path leads.
Therapy for infertility shows that you don’t have to continue putting your life on hold.
Infertility can rob you of joy, peace, and innocence you had in imagining how your family would look in a certain timeframe.
Pregnancy announcements, baby showers, baby aisles in the store…all triggering.
Financial stress is also a factor that can affect your mental health.
Hormones during fertility treatments add another layer of difficulty in managing your emotions.
Failed treatments and negative pregnancy tests month after month causes overwhelming grief.
Your ability to sleep may be almost non-existent. You might feel like you are in survival mode.
This is all so hard to bear on your own when no one fully understands what you are going through. Family and friends can be incredibly supportive and well-intentioned but they still don't get it.
Infertility does NOT have to control your life
You are more than infertility and it doesn’t have to control your life.
Working with our team of infertility therapists opens the door to hope. With therapy, it is possible to:
Manage anxiety spirals, "scanxiety" at appointments, "what if" and worst-case scenarios
Find moments of peace and happiness regardless of where you are in your journey
Improve relationships in your marriage, friendships, and with yourself
Make your mental health a priority
Find confidence in every aspect of the journey
Improve relationship with mind, body, and soul
Improve relationships with loved ones
Process grief of failed treatments and losses and understand why your partner may grieve differently than you
Manage triggers that seem to pop up everywhere (baby showers, pregnancy announcements on social media, baby aisles…)
You are so much MORE than infertility and deserve a beautiful and joyful life, regardless of how your infertility journey ends.
So if you are answering yes to any of these questions during infertility:
Constantly worrying?

Having a hard time making decisions?
