Our psychology team provides individual and couples counseling, support groups, decision-making consultations, educational classes on coping with fertility treatment, egg and sperm recipient classes, and more.
Alone or in combination, these services can help you:
- Build coping strategies, including how to manage negative thinking patterns and worry.
- Express difficult emotions effectively so that they feel less overwhelming.
- Combat the feelings of isolation that are so common among fertility patients.
- Handle social media posts, baby shower invitations, and comments from your social network about why you aren’t yet pregnant.
- Think through complex emotional and ethical issues associated with fertility treatment and craft a plan for discussing with your loved ones.
- Gain information as needed about alternative family-building options like using donor eggs or sperm, domestic or international adoption, or child-free living.
Our psychology team can also help you work through concerns such as:
- Pregnancy loss
- What to do with extra embryos after fertility treatment has ended
- Anxiety during medical procedures
- Needle phobia interfering with self-injections of fertility medications
- Fertility preservation
- Multiple gestations
- Medically indicated termination or selective reduction
