We specialize in counseling for the trauma of infertility and its treatment, pregnancy loss, and assisted reproduction including IVF, inseminations, donor eggs, donor sperm, donor embryos, and gestational surrogacy, as well as premature delivery. We know how challenging the family building journey can be. We have lived it ourselves. We can help you with the depression, anxiety, and relationship problems that go along with just trying to have a family. We can help you make decisions about what to do, where to do it, and when to do it.
Whatever your parenting journey looks like, you matter. We are on your side and we will walk the path with you. We practice under the guidelines of the American Society for Reproduction Medicine (ASRM). These are the best practices in the field of infertility treatment. At partners (in)fertility, we welcome straight and LGBTQ couples and single parents. We want to be part of your family-building journey.
We also specialize in the trauma of pregnancy loss. We will be with you and your partner throughout the journey from grief, to recovery, to hope about your future. Things may be very dark for you right now. We will help the sunshine return to your life.
