Compassionate Therapy for Fertility and IVF Journeys
SUPPORT ON YOUR PATH TO PARENTHOOD
Struggling with fertility can be one of the most challenging and isolating experiences of your life.

Fertility Counseling for Couples
Your fertility journey is your own, yet it impacts your relationship with your partner or spouse, too.
You feel drained from your fluctuating hormones and medical treatment. Then you have the important choices you and your partner must make to determine how you might become parents.

FOR LGBTQ+ Couples on Their Fertility Journey
NAVIGATING INFERTILITY WITH COMPASSIONATE SUPPORT
LGBTQ+ couples on the path to parenthood often face unique financial and systemic hurdles. From navigating institutional discrimination and jumping through hoops for insurance coverage to managing exorbitant costs, your fertility journey carries extra layers of stress.
You may face complicated feelings as you see your straight friends easily get pregnant, or from your LGBTQ+ friends who may not share your desire to become parents. At DPW, we recognize the specific challenges and stigma you encounter. You won’t need to explain the additional barriers—because we support LGBTQ+ couples just like you.
We're here to provide the support and care you need as you move toward parenthood.
You are not alone in your journey.
Therapy Can Help With The Stress of Infertility
You are told to “lower your stress” when everything in life is harder.
Your typical ways to cope are not accessible, or you don’t feel like doing them because you feel bloated, tired, and irritable. You and your partner become isolated when you most need your community. It’s a perfect recipe for you to feel constantly alone and out of control.
At DPW, our holistic, mind-body approach to therapy acknowledges the burden that infertility and IVF treatments can take on you mentally, physically, emotionally, financially, and spiritually. Lowering stress may positively influence your fertility journey, lessening the pressure on your body, mind, and spirit.
Holistic approaches like mindfulness, trauma-informed yoga, and EMDR can help manage the physical and emotional stress of fertility treatments and recurrent miscarriages.
How To Get Started
Schedule a free 15-20 minute virtual consultation to determine if we're a good fit and discuss whether therapy during your infertility journey would be a good fit for you.
STEP ONE
Before your first therapy session, you'll sign a contract and complete an intake questionnaire, giving us time to get to know you. This also allows you to review our policies and bring any questions to your appointment.
STEP TWO
During your first therapy session, we will review the contract, policies, and how the process works while helping you set goals and determine meeting frequency. We will prioritize building a safe, trusting relationship as we get to know you.
STEP THREE
