Therapy while Trying to Conceive
Emotional support for that time when you’re thinking of trying, trying, or waiting for that positive.
Therapy for TTC
The decision to start trying to conceive is something worth exploring all in it’s own. This is a major decision and milestone for you and your family.
You might find yourself tracking, analyzing, counting the days. It can feel like life is run on your cycle or is on pause. You’re waiting from month to month and waiting to live life. You're trying to stay hopeful while not getting your hopes up.
At Authentic LA Therapy, I provide therapy for women trying to conceive. You don't have to wait for an infertility diagnosis or certain length of time of trying before seeking support. If you feel unsure whether your struggles are significant enough to warrant therapy, please know you are always welcome. At any stage you deserve a space to process your experience without judgment.
