Your fertility journey is unique. While it may be filled with moments of hope, it can also bring worry, fear, and exhaustion. Each month may carry its own questions, fears, and emotional weight. If you’ve felt anxious or overwhelmed while trying to become pregnant, you are not alone.
Fertility anxiety can show up in many ways, especially as you navigate the uncertainty and the physical and emotional demands that of your fertility journey.

Are you feeling alone in your fertility journey, unsure where to turn with your fears, questions, or emotional exhaustion?
Why Fertility Anxiety Support Matters
Trying to conceive can be an incredibly emotional and vulnerable journey. The unpredictability of the process, combined with societal pressures and internal hopes, can contribute to fertility anxiety and stir up a wide range of emotions some including disappointment, grief, anger, fear, guilt, and at times, loneliness. All of these emotions are valid and all of them are deserving of care.
You may be navigating the emotional highs and lows of waiting for answers, feeling overwhelmed by the demands of fertility treatments, or managing a previous pregnancy loss or fertility-related trauma. Anxiety during ones’ fertility journey is common, yet many women find themselves silently coping, unsure of where to turn for support that truly understands the emotional impact of trying to conceive. You may feel caught between wanting to stay positive and needing space to acknowledge the very real emotional toll this journey can take.
Together, we create a compassionate, confidential space where you can step away from daily pressures and reconnect with yourself, and receive emotional support during fertility treatment as you navigate your emotions, your thoughts, and your needs. Through therapy for your fertility anxiety, you can find space to name and process your feelings, learn techniques to manage anxiety, and discover ways to stay grounded, supported, and connected to yourself during this deeply personal experience.
