Infertility or Adoption
Transforming Emotions
Psychologist
Facing infertility is an emotional journey that can be accompanied by feelings of grief, loss, anger, shame, isolation and even despair. While its important to connect to a medical team for assistance, working with a well-trained therapist can be an important source of additional support. Whether it’s the shock of learning of fertility issues and hearing about treatment options, assistance with the two-week emotional roller coaster of IUI, managing the challenges of IVF or beginning to explore adoption or surrogacy, working with a mental health care provider can help you to navigate the turbulent waters of infertility as you seek calmer waters.

Ekum Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse for women under 35, or after six months for women 35 and older. It can affect both men and women and may result from a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, structural issues, age, lifestyle choices, or underlying medical conditions. The emotional toll of infertility can be significant, often leading to feelings of frustration, sadness, and isolation.
Many couples facing infertility seek medical assistance, which may involve diagnostic testing, fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), or lifestyle changes to improve reproductive health. Support from healthcare providers, counseling, and support groups can play a crucial role in helping individuals and couples navigate this challenging journey. Understanding that infertility is a common issue can also encourage open conversations and reduce the stigma surrounding it, fostering a supportive environment for those affected.

LifeCycle Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, MPE, RP
Infertility is defined as not being able to conceive after trying for a year or longer. This may be because of female or male factors, or both. As a result, many individuals may seek out fertility treatment. There are various methods of treating fertility, with the most common being: oral medications, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), and intrauterine insemination (IUI). Throughout the process, you may experience grief and loss, and/or begin to question your identity. Many individuals and/or couples going through this process, may also become frustrated, have feelings of helplessness, or have to make difficult decisions that can impact one’s emotional health.
Forms of psychotherapy that have been found to be helpful and effective in helping individuals struggling with mental health as a result of infertility include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and other forms of supportive psychotherapy. These forms of therapy can help you to acknowledge your feelings, be honest and effective in communicating your feelings to your partner, process your options, developing healthy strategies to manage and cope with your emotions, re-establish intimacy, make sense of your identity, and find ways to move forward.

I work with couples to help them grieve the loss of a "regular pregnancy". There are many emotions that come with this, and being able to talk about them and work through them together, will be important as you go through this difficult period in your life, but also in years to come.
