Therapy for Infertility & Pregnancy Loss
Online therapy for women across New York State
Therapy to help you unpack your grief
and you’re struggling to trust your body on “good” days and feel betrayed by it all together on the “bad” ones. You’ve heard all the grief-coded phrases that other people say to cure their discomfort, but if you hear “everything happens for a reason” or “at least you have your real kids” again, you’re certain that you’ll lose your shit. Maybe you’ve just received an infertility diagnosis or are dreading receiving one. Or perhaps, you’re like the thousands of women who experienced a pregnancy loss during the first trimester and are struggling to grieve because “you should be over it by now”.
Whether you’ve experienced loss or challenges conceiving, you may be struggling and you deserve relief. Therapy may be right for you if:
You’re feeling stuck or trapped in your loss and aren’t sure how to move through your grief
Experience shame or guilt for ending your pregnancy or find yourself describing your abortion/medical termination as a miscarriage to friends and family
It’s hard to tell if you should grieve (or for how long)
You avoid reminders of babies and pregnancies
You’re struggling to trust your body and feel disconnected from it
Despite their best efforts, friends and family don’t quite understand your experience and aren’t sure how to support you
You’re considering becoming pregnant or adopting again and would like to process the difficult or traumatic experience
…and more
You haven’t felt like you in some time…
Understanding The Emotional Impact of Infertility & Pregnancy Loss
Infertility and pregnancy loss are deeply personal and often overwhelming experiences that include:
Miscarriage
Abortion (elective and/or medically necessitated)
Stillbirth
Neonatal death
Unsuccessful rounds of IVF, IUI, or other reproductive technologies
Selective reductions (for pregnancies with multiples)
Adoption loss
Unsuccessful embryo, sperm, or egg transfers
Primary or Secondary Infertility
The emotional impact of infertility and pregnancy loss can range from depression, anxiety, and PTSD, although it can vary widely from person to person. Whether you have experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, or challenges conceiving, the feelings of grief, anger, confusion, and isolation can be overwhelming. At Lavender Therapy, I provide specialized therapy for infertility and pregnancy loss, offering compassionate support and professional guidance to help you navigate your grief.
How Therapy Can Help with Infertility and Pregnancy Loss
Seeking therapy before and after an infertility diagnosis or pregnancy loss can be a crucial step toward healing. Therapy provides a supportive environment where you can:
Process Grief: I will help you resume life again using evidence-based approaches to help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns, manage anxiety and stress, and reframe your story in a way that acknowledges your strength and resilience.
Address Guilt and Self-Blame: Many people struggle with guilt and self-blame. Together, we will work to challenge these thoughts and develop a more holistic and compassionate self-view.
Strengthen Relationships: Infertility and pregnancy loss can put a strain on intimacy and relationships. At Lavender Therapy, you will gain tools to communicate more effectively without neglecting the relationship.
Find Hope and Meaning: Moving forward doesn't mean forgetting your experience. I will assist you in finding ways to honor your loss while also looking toward the future with hope and resilience
…without judgment.
