Infertility Therapists in Bellingham, WA
To this end, I often support clients in exploring the psychological dimensions of the distinctly female body-soul experiences, including the menstrual cycle; living with and relating to fertility and infertility; pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum; all forms of perinatal loss; mothering; and perimenopause and menopause.
I offer psychotherapy for women seeking greater wellbeing, contentment, and meaning, such as through working on roles like daughter, sister, wife, and mother; healing traumas and losses; and growing genuine, abiding self-esteem. I specialize in working with women of reproductive age who are exploring their big picture and purpose: defining standards for how others treat them, finding and nurturing familial and communal obligations, and consciously considering their potential for and/or feelings about fertility. Women’s lives won’t all look the same. But we all deserve to engage deeply with the questions that are our birthright!

I love supporting mothers at any stage – (preconception, infertility, pregnancy, post-partum, and throughout motherhood).
I specialize in working with women during preconception, challenges getting pregnant, pregnancy, postpartum and into motherhood. Becoming a mother is often exciting and joyous but also can be overwhelming, exhausting and bring up changes in mood, worries, fears and more. Finding support during this time can help alleviate stress, anxiety and depression. I also specialize in working with adult women of all ages challenged with depression, anxiety, eating disorders or difficulty losing weight, chronic stress and fatigue.

How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?
Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.
How does therapy for infertility issues work?
The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.
What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?
Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.
How long does therapy for infertility issues take?
There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
