Therapy for Infertility & Pregnancy Loss in Philadelphia, NY & NJ
Perhaps you're trying to get pregnant and the IVF schedule is making your head spin. Or, you're grieving a loss, and you've heard "at least you know you can get pregnant" one too many times.
Infertility and pregnancy loss can be hidden experiences. You may not know how to talk to the people in your life about your worry and fear, or you don’t want to share the extent of your grief following a loss.
Through either individual or couples therapy, families experiencing these challenges can find the support they need to hold space for the multitude of emotions that arise.
Therapy for Infertility
Infertility is defined as not being able to get pregnant naturally after one year for those under 35 years old and for 6 months for those over 35 years old. For those struggling with conceiving, the journey through fertility treatments can be surprising and difficult to manage. Therapy can be a space to process what it is like to need more intervention than you maybe expected, as well as to build skills to move through the IUI and IVF processes.
Therapy after Pregnancy Complications
Finding out about a fetal abnormality or other health issue is heartbreaking for you and your family. Being able to discuss how this is impacting you and your planning for the future is critical to effective coping.
Therapy for Pregnancy Loss & Grief
10-15% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, yet our loved ones often don’t know how to talk to us about a loss, whether it occurs earlier or later in a pregnancy. Sometimes we feel pressure to rush through the grieving process. Therapy gives you permission to grieve as long as you need and to figure out when you may be ready to try again.
