Infertility is a personal experience and can feel isolating.
No matter where you are in your journey, we are here to help you. Many women struggle to either get pregnant or are unable no matter what they do. Dealing with infertility can be deeply painful and may cause rifts in your relationships. You may be feeling angry, isolated, and hopeless.
A lot of Couples are affected by Infertility
According to the CDC, 12% of women ages 15 to 44 face challenges getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to term.
Couples often feel angry and blame their partners. Sex lives change as a result of sex being a stressor when you're unable to conceive. Couples feel isolated from each other and other couples. Couples may experience conflict about when to receive help and the lengths partners are willing to go to conceive. Fear that if you can't conceive, your partner will leave, financial strain from fertility treatments, and disagreements about whether to tell people about what you are going through are common.
Infertility counseling can provide a safe space to explore your feelings, feelings towards your partner, and feelings as a couple.
The good news, however, is that with the help of a compassionate, experienced infertility therapist, you can get back to feeling fulfilled and satisfied in your relationship. And you can work on feelings of anxiety or depression that may have cropped up as well.
You may be wondering, “What is infertility counseling’” or “Why should I do infertility counseling?”
Why do infertility counseling?
People dealing with infertility often experience:
Higher stress levels
Difficulty concentrating
Feel isolated
Pushing people away
Increased anxiety
Tension within relationships, especially with your significant other
Counseling for an infertile couple can help you feel relief, feel normal, and feel a sense of peace even in the midst of the storm. Counseling can give you the tools you need to navigate all of the decisions around fertility treatments as well as deal with the complicated emotions that come with infertility. Infertility counseling won’t help you conceive. It can help a person walk through the process and offer coping strategies. Talking about fertility challenges can also be beneficial because it allows a person to talk about their feelings in a safe place and without judgment.
You don’t have to go through the pain alone.

A therapist can help you find hope, so you can keep working towards the life you want.My partner doesn’t want to do counseling.
My partner doesn’t want to do counseling
Doing couples or individual counseling can be helpful. You can’t force someone else to get help, but you can choose to help yourself. When your partner sees the benefits counseling is having on you, they may be more open to considering counseling.
I am too busy for counseling.
Life is so full and stressful already. It may feel like you don’t have a free moment. How in the world are you going to add counseling to that? What I have found is that people find time for the things that really matter to them. And when they make time for therapy, it tends to add time to their schedule because they are able to live life in a more efficient way, set boundaries, and have less stress (which oftentimes distracts people from getting things done in the first place). We do offer Online Infertility Counseling which can save you time and can be done directly from your home or office.
I feel too overwhelmed to add anything else to my plate.
The great thing about counseling is that it will actually help you have the tools you need to decrease that feeling of being overwhelmed. You are worth it. Living with stress and anxiety is not necessary.
