Infertility, Miscarriage, & Pregnancy

Whether you are struggling with infertility, grieving after a miscarriage, or experiencing the complex emotions of pregnancy—whether typical, high-risk, or unexpected—these experiences can feel overwhelming and isolating. It can feel like you’re caught in a stormy sea without a clear direction. The waves of hope, disappointment, and uncertainty can leave you feeling exhausted, making it hard to find solid ground. These experiences affect every part of your life—your identity, your relationships, and your sense of control over your future. We are committed to providing a safe, compassionate environment where you can process your emotions, find validation, and regain a sense of direction.

Understanding the Emotional Impact

Infertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy experiences can evoke a wide range of emotions: grief, anger, jealousy, guilt, and profound loss. They challenge beliefs about identity, purpose, and the future you envisioned. Miscarriage and pregnancy loss bring unique heartache, often leaving individuals and couples feeling alone and unsure of how to move forward. There is also the grief of realizing that your family may not look the way you dreamed, and the difficult work of reshaping those dreams around an unexpected reality. Even under the best circumstances, pregnancy can be a source of anxiety, shame, and stress—changing everything in unexpected ways. The anxiety of trying to conceive after a loss, as well as the fear that can accompany a subsequent pregnancy, adds layers of emotional complexity.

We understand how these experiences can strain relationships, create isolation, and lead to feelings of inadequacy. Our goal is to provide a space where you can openly express these emotions, knowing they are valid and that you don’t have to face them alone. Whether you are coping with fertility treatments, grieving a loss, or managing anxiety during pregnancy, we are here to help you navigate each step.

Our Approach to Fertility and Pregnancy Support

Our approach is holistic, recognizing that infertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy impact every aspect of your life—emotional, physical, relational, and social. We use a variety of evidence-based practices to support you:

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): These experiences can strain relationships, leaving partners feeling disconnected. EFT helps rebuild emotional bonds, fostering a sense of security and mutual support.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts that often accompany these experiences. Whether it’s feelings of inadequacy, guilt, or hopelessness, CBT provides tools to shift these thought patterns and cultivate a more compassionate perspective.

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT helps you acknowledge difficult emotions without judgment, focusing on what you value most in life and making choices that align with those values, even amidst uncertainty.

• Mindfulness and Stress Reduction: Fertility treatments, pregnancy after loss, and uncertainty can be overwhelming. Mindfulness practices help bring you back to the present moment, cultivating awareness and providing a sense of calm amidst the chaos.

• Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP): These experiences can leave your nervous system in a state of constant alert. SSP helps calm the nervous system, creating a sense of safety that allows you to better engage with other forms of support and treatment.

• Support for Decision-Making: Fertility treatments, IVF, adoption, or deciding to stop trying—all of these are deeply personal decisions. We help you explore your options in a nonjudgmental space, providing clarity as you decide what feels right for you and your family.
