How
can infertility counseling help me?
Our practice understands that fertility and its treatment
can be very stressful and emotionally difficult. We are proud
to have fertility counselors available as resources to complement
your infertility care at SRM.
Appointments can be made with a fertility counselor at the
recommendation of a SRM physician, SRM nurse or self-referrals.
Simply, call the SRM offices or make an appointment next time
you are seeing your provider.
The counseling services are designed to:
- Help you cope with the stress of treatment and infertility
problems
- Help you improve relationships and communication with
family and friends
- Assess and strengthen your emotional health
- Facilitate and support your problem-solving and decision
making
- Provide referrals to appropriate resources when needed
- Offer you safe and therapeutic small patient groups to
meet others facing the challenges of trying to get pregnant.
