Infertility and Third-Party Reproduction

I began treating individuals and couples experiencing infertility in 1995 while working as the Psychologist for a large IVF program in New York City.

In addition to addressing the emotional components of the infertility treatments and experience, I met with hundreds of individuals and couples who elected to use donor egg to build their families. Whether as a choice for couples experiencing infertility or as a means of family-building for single individuals or same-sex couples, third party reproduction can be a wonderful option that also brings its own set of issues for parents.

SOME OF THE AREAS I ADDRESS INCLUDE:

• Feelings of depression and anxiety associated with infertility
• Decision-making regarding family-building options
• How to disclose to your child when they are conceived through third-party reproduction
