Infertility Therapy
& Counseling
Support for Fertility Struggles
Across New York State
Psychotherapy for infertility, IVF, or loss
Trying to get pregnant without success?
Have fertility treatments or losses left you feeling emotionally depleted, anxious, or stuck?
Did your doctor suggest therapy as you figure out your next step?
You may have expected this to be hard, but not this hard. Maybe you’re months or years into trying, and every cycle, every treatment, every loss leaves you feeling more anxious, depleted, or numb. Maybe your doctor suggested therapy, or maybe you're just trying to hold it together.
We get it. You don’t have to go through this alone.
Women Come To Us When They’re:
Struggling to get pregnant
Coping with pregnancy loss
Preparing for treatments
Navigating a diagnosis or infertility
Feeling emotionally raw, hopeless, or ashamed
Distant from their partner or loved ones
Questioning next steps or paths
Our Therapy Isn’t About just staying positive
Infertility isn’t just a medical journey it’s an emotional one.
The rollercoaster of hormones, procedures, decisions, and grief can leave you feeling like a shell of yourself. Therapy offers a place where you don’t have to perform or push through. You can be real, even when it's hard.
Questions We’ll Explore in Therapy
Why do I feel so angry, ashamed, or jealous? Infertility can surface deep emotions. We help you understand, validate, and move through them without judgment.
What if I can’t get pregnant? Therapy offers support as you explore options - including when, how, or if you want to continue.
How do I talk about this? Fertility struggles can strain even strong relationships. We’ll help you rebuild connection and communication.
