Fertility Therapy & Reproductive Mental Health Support in NYC & NJ
Fertility & Reproductive Mental Health
Because trying to grow your family shouldn't mean losing yourself in the process.
At Elevate Psychotherapy & Co., we support individuals and couples navigating the deeply personal, often isolating experience of fertility challenges. Whether you’re actively trying to conceive, facing decisions about assisted reproduction, grieving pregnancy loss, or somewhere in between—we’re here to help you feel held, understood, and emotionally supported through it all.
This isn’t just about treatment plans or test results. It’s about the emotional toll of waiting, hoping, planning, grieving, and sometimes starting all over again. We help you process what’s heavy, hold space for what’s uncertain, and stay connected to yourself and your relationship through the process.
What We Support
- Anxiety, grief, and emotional overwhelm related to fertility
- IVF, IUI, and assisted reproduction support
- Navigating miscarriage, pregnancy loss, or chemical pregnancies
- Relationship strain during fertility treatments
- Decision-making around timelines, donor options, or next steps
- Processing body image shifts, hormonal changes, and medical trauma
- Preparing for parenthood after infertility
you’re allowed to grieve, question, and hope—sometimes all at once.
Our therapists provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can say the hard things out loud. We integrate emotion-focused therapy, grief processing, somatic grounding, and gentle cognitive work to help you move through each phase—without bypassing or rushing your experience.
You don’t need to stay “positive.” You need to feel supported.
We’ll help you:
- Regulate the anxiety and stress that often accompany fertility journeys
- Process the grief of each disappointment, setback, or loss
- Communicate with your partner when emotions run high or needs diverge
- Stay grounded in your body and your truth throughout treatment
- Navigate medical systems with emotional clarity and boundaries

Whether you’re naming this for the first time or have been living with it quietly for years, we’re here to help you come back to yourself.
No. We move at your pace. Therapy for fertility issues isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about giving you a space to be real, without pressure to perform, pretend, or stay positive when you’re not feeling it.
Will I have to talk about things I’m not ready to face?
04
That’s incredibly common. We offer both individual and couples therapy to help partners communicate more effectively, validate each other’s experience, and move forward with greater understanding—even when emotions are raw.
What if my partner and I are in different emotional places about this?
03
Yes. We’re here to support your decision-making process without pushing you toward one outcome. Whether you're choosing between clinics, treatments, or family-building options, we help you get clear on what feels aligned with your values and capacity.
Will therapy help me make decisions about next steps?
02
Not at all. Some clients come before starting any interventions, others are in the middle of treatment, and some are exploring next steps after losses or challenges. You’re welcome here at any stage of the journey.
Do I need to be in treatment (like IVF or IUI) to see a fertility therapist?
