Therapy for
Fertility Challenges

Support for Men & Their Partners Navigating Fertility Challenges.

Trying to conceive isn’t just a medical journey. It’s an emotional one. For many individuals and couples, fertility challenges bring stress, grief, uncertainty, and deep emotional pain that often go unseen or unspoken. At Verve Psychotherapy, we offer therapy for fertility challenges designed to support men, grieving parents, and couples as they navigate fertility stress, infertility, pregnancy loss, and a complex path towards parenthood.

​

Our work is grounded in advanced training in paternal perinatal mental health, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), and perinatal loss allowing us to provide specialized, trauma-informed care that honors the emotional & relational realities of fertility challenges.

​

When Fertility Challenges Impact Mental Health

​

Fertility challenges can significantly affect mental health in profound ways, especially for men, who are often expected to stay strong, power through it, or be supportive while they too carry heavy emotions.

​

You may be experiencing:

​​

• Anxiety, depression, or chronic stress

• Grief related to infertility, failed cycles, or pregnancy loss

• Feelings of shame, guilt, inadequacy, or hopelessness

• Emotional distance or tension in your relationship

• Loss of control, powerlessness, or identity confusion

• Difficulty supporting your partner emotionally while managing your own strong and overwhelming emotions
   

These reactions are normal responses to an abnormal amount of stress and uncertainty. Therapy for fertility challenges offers men and couples a space to safely process these experiences without judgment.

​

​Therapy for Fertility Challenges for Men

​

Men are often overlooked in fertility conversations, yet they experience real emotional pain, especially when fertility struggles challenge identity, masculinity, or expectations of fatherhood.

​

At Verve Psychotherapy, we promote paternal perinatal mental health with trauma-informed care that helps men:

​​

• Process (disenfranchised) grief, disappointment, and uncertainty

• Navigate feelings of helplessness or pressure to “fix” things

• Reduce anxiety, irritability, or emotional & relational shutdown

• Strengthen healthy communication habits with their partner

• Prepare emotionally for early fatherhood, alternative paths to parenthood, or the transition to childlessness not by choice.
   

Our approach respects men’s needs for privacy, autonomy, and practical tools, while creating space for emotional resilience and relational growth.

​

Therapy for Fertility Challenges for Couples

Fertility challenges can strain even the strongest relationships. Differences in coping styles, timelines, and emotional expression often lead to defensiveness, criticism, resentment, or disconnection.

​

Through therapy, couples can:

​​

• Grieve losses in partnership instead of suffering in isolation

• Improve communication during high-stress medical decisions

• Restore a safe-haven and secure-base for their much needed emotional & relational intimacy

• Navigate uncertainty as a team

• Prepare for pregnancy, parenthood, or any  outcomes
   

We specialize in supporting couples navigating fertility challenges, offering therapy that strengthens connection while honoring each partner’s individual experience.

​

Trauma-Informed Care for Grieving Parents

​

For many families, fertility challenges include miscarriage, stillbirth, termination for medical reasons, or infertility-related traumatic stress. These experiences are often minimized or overlooked by society, leaving parents feeling unseen and unsupported.

Our therapy for fertility challenges is:

​​

• Specialized and Trauma-Informed

• Grounded in paternal perinatal mental health expertise

• Supportive of complex grief and ambiguous loss

• Respectful of cultural, personal, and relational differences

You don’t have to justify your grief or “move on” before you’re ready. Moving forward happens at your pace.
