Many of our clients cope with profound experiences of loss and trauma as they try to conceive and grow their families while also facing obstacles such as problems with fertility. For these reasons, reproductive mental health is a fast-growing specialty. Understanding the complexity of family building options is a crucial aspect to helping clients navigate the emotional toll, decision fatigue, and communication impasses these decisions can create.
