Therapy conducted in a group context can be a healing and transformational experience.  For those grappling with fertility struggles and loss, this can be especially true.  Individuals and couples experiencing infertility and pregnancy loss are often grief-stricken and in mourning for the child that they do not yet have.  Friends and family, although well-meaning, may not meet the type of specialized emotional support that is needed. Groups offer a remarkably soothing and effective medicine for fertility-related distress, providing a safe venue for identification, validation, social connection, and support.

Groups include six sessions, with each group cohort limited to 6-8 participants.
