When your most sincere intentions and efforts don't seem to work out as often as you would wish maybe it is worth to reach out to a person who can listen, observe and offer a different perspective on what is happening. This is not about advice-giving. This is about helping you see the strengths/weaknesses we all have and knowing what to do with both.

Tired of all the "talk, talk" therapy? Couples and Individuals - Thoughts, without knowing what you're feeling or being aware of body sensations is often a false narrative. Lasting change requires accessing the whole body. The body's expression of feelings and emotions may conflict with what we "think" we believe or feel. A whole-person approach is a more present moment indicator of feelings, emotions and thoughts. I can help you learn to access that important mind/body connection. This approach will guide you towards a deeper understanding of yourself and help you to mindfully experience a more fulfilling and happier life.

Infertility Therapists

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 behavioral 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.
