Infertility & Miscarriage Counseling in Orlando

Infertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy loss can be overwhelming and deeply painful experiences. At Perinatal Wellness & Psychological Services, I provide compassionate therapy for individuals and couples navigating fertility challenges, miscarriage, and the emotional impact of assisted reproduction.

Infertility Counseling for Individuals & Couples

Struggling to build a family can bring stress, grief, and uncertainty. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore these emotions, strengthen relationships, and find resilience through the journey.

  • Difficulty conceiving or experiencing delays in family building

  • Stress related to medical testing and fertility treatments

  • Preparing for or undergoing Assisted Reproductive Treatment (ART) such as IUI or IVF

  • Coping with unsuccessful fertility treatments

  • Considering third-party reproduction (egg, sperm, or embryo donation; surrogacy)

  • Exploring adoption as a path to parenthood

Support After Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss

Miscarriage, stillbirth, and neonatal loss are profound and often isolating experiences. Therapy provides space to grieve, honor your loss, and begin healing at your own pace.

  • Early miscarriage or recurrent pregnancy loss

  • Stillbirth

  • Neonatal loss

  • Balancing grief with future pregnancy considerations

  • Supporting partners and family members through shared grief

How Therapy Helps

Therapy offers more than a place to grieve — it provides tools for coping, communication, and renewed hope.

  • A compassionate environment to share difficult emotions

  • Coping strategies for the stress of infertility treatments

  • Support for decision-making around ART, surrogacy, or adoption

  • Guidance for couples to navigate infertility-related stress and strengthen communication

  • Healing support after miscarriage or pregnancy loss while preparing for future family-building paths

Support in Orlando & Across PSYPACT States

I provide infertility and miscarriage counseling both in Orlando, Florida, and through telehealth across PSYPACT states.

  • In Orlando, clients may attend in-person therapy sessions.

  • Across PSYPACT states, I provide secure telehealth sessions for individuals and couples seeking specialized support.
