Fertility Support Cohorts

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

This structure allows for the highest quality group experience both clinically and emotionally. Rather than a drop-in group model, each woman benefits from a consistent community, deeper trust, and a thoughtfully sequenced, skills-based curriculum aimed at helping fertility treatment, loss, and uncertainty feel more manageable and adaptive.

Each 90-minute session includes a teaching component focused on evidence-based coping tools, followed by meaningful time to share, process, 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.

At $50 per session, group therapy isn’t just a more affordable alternative to individual counseling, it’s the most effective format for fertility-related support. Group provides something individual therapy can’t: the healing power of women coming together, sharing their stories, and experiencing real-time validation. The “me too” moments, shared understanding, and collective strength that emerge within a cohort can transform the fertility journey.

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 therapy is so powerful: it brings together the therapeutic 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 therapy 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.
