Difficulties with family planning, whether it is due to infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, genetic conditions, social circumstances, or other factors, can impact emotional health and well-being. Individuals may experience increased stress, worry, sadness, grief, or symptoms of anxiety or depression. The physical challenges of medical treatments and decisions regarding treatment options can also be difficult.
Our Reproductive Medicine Psychology team is here to offer specialized, evidence-based health psychology services supporting individuals and couples throughout their fertility journeys.
