Therapy
Infertility can be an emotional, exhausting, and relentless experience that nearly 10-15% of couples bear. It can impact nearly every dimension of your life, including your physical and mental health, intimate relationships, friendships, work-life, and finances. Those experiencing infertility may feel alone, as if those around them don’t understand their struggles.
At Seasons of Life Therapy Services PLLC, we understand both the medical aspect of your struggles, as well as the emotional and relational turmoil. We are here to help you navigate the growing world of assisted reproductive technology (ART) and explore possible options for family building. In addition, counseling will provide you, and your partner, a safe and supportive environment to discuss what couples deem as, “one of the biggest challenges of their lives.”
