Fertility Consultation Services
IVF
Consultation
Consultations are designed to provide you with a roadmap for your fertility journey. I'll help you identify what is most important to you and help you optimize the experience to increase the likelihood of success and fulfillment. I'll also highlight potential challenges that you may face down the road, to help you begin to work through them. At the conclusion, you will feel more knowledgeable, prepared, and confident to take the next step.
Third-Party Donation
Consultation
Third-party donation can provide an incredible opportunity for individuals and couples to expand their families. Consultations address a wide-range of relevant topics to third-party donation and reproduction, such as disclosure, family dynamics, and ongoing relationships between donors and intended parent(s). Consultations are helpful for those considering becoming a third-party donor, as well as for intended parent(s) with an identified third-party donor(s).
Gestational Surrogacy
Consultation
Gestational surrogacy consultations include individual meetings with the intended parent(s) and gestational carrier, as well as a group consultation with all parties present. In addition to conversation covering a range of psychosocial topics relevant to the gestational surrogacy process, formal psychological testing will also typically be included. Consultations are helpful for those considering becoming a gestational carrier, as well as for intended parent(s) with an identified gestational carrier.
