Third-Party Reproduction Counseling & Psychological Evaluations in Orlando
Building a family through third-party reproduction is a complex journey that can bring hope, challenges, and important decisions. At Perinatal Wellness & Psychological Services, I provide ASRM-aligned psychological evaluations and consultations to support surrogates, egg donors, and intended parents with compassion and expertise.
Psychological Evaluations
➔ For Gestational Carriers (Surrogates)
Surrogates are required to complete a psychological evaluation before moving forward with the surrogacy process. I provide clinical interviews for potential carriers and, when appropriate, their partners, along with standardized psychological assessments.
➔ For Egg Donors
Egg donors also require a psychological evaluation to ensure readiness for donation. I provide interviews and psychological assessments for donors, whether known or anonymous, in coordination with your fertility clinic.
➔ For Intended Parents
Intended parents using egg, sperm, or embryo donation — or working with a gestational carrier — often benefit from a consultation. These sessions clarify the psychological aspects of collaborative reproduction and prepare families for the unique challenges and joys of this path.
Why Evaluations & Consultations Matter
Psychological evaluations and consultations are an essential part of the third-party reproduction process. They help ensure that surrogates and donors are emotionally prepared, and that intended parents understand the psychological aspects of building their family through egg, sperm, or embryo donation or surrogacy.
These services provide:
-
Confidence for intended parents, surrogates, and donors before beginning the process.
-
Compliance with professional, ethical, and clinic standards.
-
A supportive space to ask questions and address concerns before moving forward.
