Infertility Counseling

Struggling to Cope with Infertility?

Trying to conceive is such a vulnerable time, often characterized by worry, heartache, longing, and grief. For many people, wanting a baby is part of who they are at their core - it’s a value. When you’re struggling with your fertility, you can end up grieving what you thought would be.

How you thought building your family would go.

You may feel like your body is betraying you.

On top of that, you may be undergoing fertility treatments, some of which can make your emotions feel bigger and harder to manage.

All of this is happening while you may be trying to navigate complex medical systems, which often adds to the stress you’re already going through. 

When to seek infertility counseling

Infertility counseling can help if you’d like support throughout your journey. Additionally, you may benefit from counseling if you notice that you’re feeling:

  • Anxious

  • Irritable or on edge

  • Worried about your fertility struggles, and the worry is difficult to control

  • Depressed

  • Disinterested in activities you normally enjoy, or not getting the same amount of pleasure you normally would from things in your life

  • Withdrawing from others, even those who are supportive of what you’re going through

Our approach to infertility counseling

Infertility counseling can help provide support and can help with processing your grief. It can be a space to discuss the medical decisions you’re facing. Counseling may also include developing coping skills to manage the array of emotions, the ups and downs, and the strain that fertility struggles can put on your relationships. We may work on strategies to help you get more distance from your thoughts, and to help you be more present-focused, which can help you to engage in things that are important to you.

Infertility counseling can help you…

  • Feel more supported in your relationships

  • Keep anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms from going haywire and taking over

  • Learn how to let go of and get distance from bothersome thoughts

  • Better communicate with others including your partner, and people within the medical system

  • Continue building a life that feels meaningful
