Infertility Therapists in Surrey, BC
It takes a lot of support to navigate life transitions on a "good" day - even more so when faced with unmet expectations, infertility, loss, medical concerns, relationship discord or postpartum anxiety and depression.
Sometimes the life we imagined and the reality of the moment we are living, don't line up. This can create some pretty big feelings that might take us by surprise. We might feel stuck, isolated, uncertain and not like our "usual" selves. I work with individuals and couples who are bumping up against unexpected challenges in creating/growing their family, difficulty within pre and postpartum stages and beyond, into the early years of parenting. My clients also include those who might be navigating chronic health concerns, caregiver burnout and compassion fatigue. Reach out for a free consult to see how we may work together.

Lauren is passionate about reproductive mental health and she is available to support women and their families who develop emotional or mental health concerns associated with pregnancy and postpartum, as well as infertility, miscarriage, birth loss, termination and trauma associated with labour and delivery.
Sometimes our pain can become distracting, confusing and overwhelming; making it difficult to appreciate our worth and create meaning in our lives. Lauren considers it an honour to create a space for individuals to experience healing. Growth is more likely to occur when individuals are provided with respect, care, genuineness, and empathy—all of which Lauren strives to provide.

You may feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, and uncertain, and are spending lots of time thinking, second guessing yourself, and searching for meaning. Perhaps you feel like you can't think anymore; that you are too depleted to go beyond your essential day-to-day tasks. You might be struggling to conceive and experiencing self-doubt, jealousy, and a lack of control. Or, perhaps you are pregnant or already a parent, and are feeling pulled along an emotional roller coaster where you're not in the driver's seat. You might remember a time when you felt more confident, clear, and connected, and are wondering how to get back there.

Are you feeling the weight of being stuck, despite your best efforts? You’ve had some success but also feel exhausted. Life's hurdles have felt overwhelming, adding to the stress and disconnection you're experiencing. You long to rediscover a sense of connection and presence, to feel whole again. While you know deep down that change is possible, the journey seems daunting, especially when facing it alone. That's why you're seeking support, a safe and nurturing environment where judgment is left at the door. I work with teens, adults and couples as well as those finding they need support as partners, caregivers and parents.

I believe as mental health providers it is important to meet the diverse needs of individuals within the community.

Hello! As a South Asian woman of colour, I have grown up and experienced living in a multicultural society, balancing the different identities that may come from being a child of immigrants as well as having peers of differing backgrounds. This has helped me develop a unique understanding of the experiences of those similar and different to me. I understand that our cultural upbringings, beliefs, and values may both help and hinder us in some ways as we grow into who we are today. We are made up of so many parts that make us who we are, and that is so important to understand and work with for your mental health and wellbeing.

Infertility Counsellors
How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?
Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.
How does therapy for infertility issues work?
The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.
What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?
Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.
How long does therapy for infertility issues take?
There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
