When to see a therapist?
If the emotional toll of infertility is becoming overwhelming—where you're feeling constant stress, anxiety, sadness, or even panic—it might be a good time to seek therapy. Infertility can trigger grief, loss, and frustration, but if these feelings persist and interfere with daily life, a therapist can help you process and work through them. Infertility can strain relationships, particularly with your partner, as both of you may be dealing with different emotional reactions or coping mechanisms.
If you’ve gone through multiple rounds of IVF, experienced failed treatments, or suffered a miscarriage, the grief and emotional toll can be intense. If you're starting to feel hopeless about your ability to conceive or uncertain about what your future looks like, a therapist can help you explore your options, redefine your goals, and work through those feelings of uncertainty.

How can a therapist help?
A therapist can offer crucial support during the infertility journey by helping individuals navigate the emotional, psychological, and relational aspects of the process. Together we will identify processes and emotions, develop coping strategies, facilitate communication, strengthen relationships with partners, support through grief and failed cycles, reframe negative self thoughts, build on self worth, and support important decisions you will need to make along the way.
Therapy is incredibly important during infertility because it provides crucial emotional, mental, and relational support throughout a challenging and often overwhelming journey. Infertility can be deeply distressing, and navigating it without professional help can add to the emotional burden.

Coping with the Emotional Weight of Infertility: Tips from a Therapist Who’s Been There
Infertility can be an incredibly painful and isolating experience, often filled with grief, uncertainty, and emotional exhaustion. It’s important to remind yourself that your feelings are valid—whether you're feeling sadness, anger, guilt, or even numbness. Give yourself permission to grieve and take breaks from the pressure to “stay positive.” Try to limit comparisons to others, especially on social media, as they can intensify feelings of inadequacy or loss. Talking to a therapist or joining a support group can help you process your emotions and feel less alone in what you’re going through. Lean on people who offer empathy rather than solutions—sometimes a listening ear means more than advice. Make time for activities that restore you, even in small ways, and remember: your worth is not defined by your ability to conceive.
