Fertility Support Group Cohorts

Our fertility support groups are psychoeducational in nature, meaning they focus on providing education, practical coping tools, and facilitated peer support rather than therapy.

Groups are intentionally designed as closed cohorts, with new groups beginning every few months. Each cohort includes 8 weekly group meetings over 8 weeks, allowing participants to move through this chapter of their fertility journey alongside the same group of women from start to finish.

This structure supports a high-quality group experience both relationally and emotionally. Rather than a drop-in model, each woman benefits from a consistent community, deeper trust, and a thoughtfully sequenced, skills-based curriculum designed to help fertility treatment, loss, and uncertainty feel more manageable.

Each 90-minute session includes a teaching component grounded in evidence-based coping strategies, followed by guided opportunities to share, reflect, and connect with others who truly understand. Group offers a welcoming space to build community, normalize emotions, and feel less alone during what can otherwise be an isolating experience.

Join us to find connection, encouragement, and a community that truly gets it.

FAQs

  • Fertility challenges can feel incredibly isolating, and it’s so easy to believe you’re the only one navigating this kind of grief, hope, and uncertainty. That’s why group support is so powerful: it brings together the mental health support you need and the connection your heart is craving. In this space, you’re surrounded by women who truly understand, who can sit with you in the lows and celebrate with you in the highs. Every woman on the fertility journey deserves a village: a steady circle of support, encouragement, and understanding. This group is that village.

  • Each group session follows a simple, supportive flow:

    1. Settle In
    Arrive, get comfortable, and reconnect with the group.

    2. Celebrations & Setbacks
    Each woman shares what’s happened since the last meeting (both the wins and the hard moments), creating space for validation and connection.

    3. Topic of the Week
    A brief teaching focused on a specific skill or theme, like managing anxiety, coping with uncertainty, communication, or emotional regulation.

    4. Discussion + Activity
    We wrap up with a group conversation and a reflective or skill-based activity to help apply what you’ve learned.
