Infertility and Family Building

“Infertility counseling” is often used as an umbrella term for these experiences. We support all paths to parenthood, including couples, solo parents and LGBTQIA+ families. Some people come with an infertility diagnosis; others are building their families with help from donors eggs, sperm, or embryos, gestational surrogacy, or adoption. If you’d like support as you navigate family building, we’d love to talk about how we can help.
