The decision to pursue third-party reproduction is deeply personal
Embarking on the path of third-party reproduction—whether through egg donation, sperm donation, embryo donation, or gestational surrogacy—can be both hopeful and emotionally complex. The journey often brings challenges that are as profound as those faced in other significant life transitions.
With decades of experience in reproductive mental health, I provide specialized counseling to support you through every step of this process. My services include:
Inclusive Counseling Services: Welcoming individuals and couples of all backgrounds, including LGTBQIA+ families. I ensure culturally competent care.
-
Psychoeducation: American Society for Reproductive Medicine- and clinic-required session for intended parents and donors. The session ensures readiness and addresses potential emotional implications.
-
Emotional Support: Helping you navigate feelings of grief, loss, or anxiety that may arise during the journey.
-
Guidance on Disclosure: Assisting you in making informed decisions about if, when, and how to discuss donor conception with your child.
- Emotional Resilience Building: Supporting you in coping with the emotional highs and lows associated with infertility and third-party reproduction.
- Relationship Dynamics: Addressing the impact of the journey on your partnership, ensuring both individuals feel heard and supported.
By fostering a safe and inclusive environment, I aim to empower you with the tools and understanding needed to build your family with confidence and clarity.
