People who experienced fertility challenges before becoming parents often say that thinking about having more children is too much. Now that we know how fragile it all is, it’s simply too painful to think that we may not become pregnant or sustain a pregnancy. Perhaps we're hesitating to call the fertility clinic. Maybe we're exhausted from trying to hold in tension both the hope of having another child and the fear of more loss. If this sounds familiar, we invite you to consider joining our group of brave parents like you.

Becoming a parent after infertility presents unique challenges to early parenthood. We may feel not only exhausted, anxious, or sad at times-- emotional hallmarks of new parenting-- but perhaps also guilty or ashamed because of how much we wanted to become parents or how hard we worked to become parents. Because of these unique emotional hallmarks of parenting after fertility challenges, we may miss out on opportunities to connect with and receive support from other parents. So let’s come together in a safe space to support each other on our unique parenting journeys. We hope you will join us!

Parenting Support Groups
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
