Fertility & family planning
Trying to conceive is one of the most isolating experiences a woman can navigate — and the medical system rarely names the grief, the obsessive tracking, the resentment toward pregnant friends, or the toll on a relationship. Our therapists trained specifically in reproductive psychology hold all of it.
Most major insurances accepted.
Don’t see your plan? We sign new contracts a few times a year — ask during intake and we’ll let you know if yours is being added soon.
You don’t have to talk yourself into seeking help.
- •Constant worry about whether this cycle will work
- •Grief that doesn't get acknowledged after a chemical pregnancy or early loss
- •Guilt or shame about secondary infertility — wanting another baby and feeling like you shouldn't
- •Pulling back from pregnant friends, baby showers, or family gatherings
- •Sex feeling clinical instead of intimate
- •Anxiety spikes around medication, transfers, and the two-week wait
- •Resentment toward your partner, your body, or the timeline
- •Burnout from years of treatment without an answer
If any of the above sounds like what’s happening for you — or someone you love — that’s a clinical signal, not a personality flaw. Our specialists treat it with the seriousness it deserves.

Our approach to fertility & family planning.
Reproductive grief is real grief, even when the world doesn't have a ritual for it. Our clinicians treat it with the same seriousness they'd treat any other loss.
We use a combination of grief counseling, anxiety regulation, and identity work. For patients in active treatment, we coordinate with your reproductive endocrinology (REI) clinic so the therapy fits around transfer schedules and beta hCG result days. For patients who've stopped trying, we help with the next chapter — adoption, child-free living, or the long quiet of acceptance.
Many of our clients are in concurrent psychiatric care for situational depression or anxiety triggered by treatment. Our med-management team is trained to work with patients planning conception so medications and timing are coordinated across providers.
From first call to first session.
- 01
First session
60–90 minute intake. We map the medical history, the emotional history, where you are in treatment, and what's hardest right now. No one will tell you to 'just relax.'
- 02
Weekly or bi-weekly sessions
Usually weekly during active treatment, less often once a routine settles. We'll adjust around transfer days, beta hCG result calls, and travel for procedures.
- 03
Coordinated care
With your permission, your therapist can communicate with your reproductive endocrinologist (REI), OB, and any psychiatric provider on your team — so you don't have to repeat your story.
Common questions about fertility & family planning.
Do you take insurance for fertility-related therapy?+
Yes. Most major plans (BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, Optum) cover therapy regardless of the underlying reason — fertility-related distress is treated as anxiety, depression, or adjustment disorder for billing purposes. We verify benefits before your first session.
I'm in active IVF — can I be seen quickly?+
Yes. Same-week availability is the norm for our therapists, and we prioritize patients in active treatment cycles. Use the directory to find a clinician with open slots, or take the matching quiz and we'll surface options the same business day.
Can my partner come?+
Yes. Many of our clinicians offer couples sessions for fertility-specific work — the medical journey hits both of you, and the partnership often needs its own attention. You can also do individual therapy in parallel.
Is medication ever recommended during fertility treatment?+
Sometimes, yes — for anxiety or depression that's affecting daily functioning. Our PMHNPs are trained in reproductive psychiatry and only recommend medications with safety profiles compatible with conception, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.
What if I had a loss and don't know what kind of help I need?+
Start with one session. We don't ask you to know what you need — that's our job. If grief counseling fits, we'll go there. If you need something else, we'll redirect.
Fertility & family planning is also referred to as infertility therapy, IVF counseling, reproductive grief therapy, miscarriage counseling, pregnancy loss therapy, and TTC mental health. Whatever you call it, our specialists treat it.
