Our in-house Psychological Counseling team offers support services focused on both the mind and the body. We integrate the mind body connection into your medical treatment for a comprehensive approach to treating all aspects of infertility. Mind body medicine focuses on the interactions of the mind, body and behavior. The ways in which emotional, mental, behavioral, and spiritual factors interact may directly affect health and bodily functioning, thus your body’s ability to conceive!
Individual/Couples Counseling
Many patients see our counselors to discuss relaxation techniques, emotions such as anger, sadness, isolation or fear, grieving or loss issues. Couples do not always cope similarly, so a patient may want to discuss relational concerns either alone or with a partner.
