Infertility
Dr. Mitch Keil, PsyD
Psychologist, Keil Psych Group
Infertility can be an extraordinarily lonely experience. It often involves a repeating cycle of hope, waiting, uncertainty, and loss—all while the rest of the world seems to continue moving forward.
The psychological impact can reach far beyond trying to have a child. Infertility and fertility treatment can affect your relationship, sex life, friendships, identity, self-esteem, finances, and even your relationship with your own body. Baby announcements, pregnancies, and seemingly innocent questions from other people can suddenly become painful. Couples may also grieve differently, leaving both partners feeling alone even while going through the same experience.
Our approach to infertility counseling creates a place where you don't have to minimize any of this or stay positive for someone else's comfort. Therapy can help you process grief and disappointment, manage anxiety around fertility treatments or IVF, navigate difficult decisions, communicate more openly with your partner, and work through the complicated emotions that can accompany infertility and pregnancy loss.
There is often grief in infertility even when there hasn't been a single identifiable loss. You may be grieving the timeline you expected, the family you imagined, a sense of control over your body, or the assumption that having children would happen naturally when you were ready.
Therapy won't take away the uncertainty of the process, but it can give you a place to carry it differently—to feel what you're actually feeling, stay connected to yourself and the people you love, and move through an incredibly difficult chapter without having to go through it alone.

Rose Hanna Counseling Services
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., LMFT
The path to building a family doesn't always look the way you imagined, and that can bring up grief, stress, and complicated emotions that are hard to voice — even to the people closest to you. Our therapists offer a compassionate space to process the ups and downs of infertility or adoption, without judgment and without needing to have it all figured out.
