UNDERSTANDING THE EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE

There is room for more than one feeling.

Your experience of infertility may include hope, disappointment, grief, frustration, or uncertainty. Medical appointments, waiting, decisions, and conversations with others can bring additional emotional demands.

Counseling offers space to talk about what this experience means for you. You can explore your needs and choices without pressure to feel a certain way or move toward a particular outcome.

You do not have to stay positive to deserve support.
HOW IT CAN SHOW UP

The emotional weight can reach into daily life.

These are some experiences people may bring to counseling. Your feelings, circumstances, and support needs are individual.

Uncertainty and waiting

Finding it difficult to sit with unanswered questions, appointments, or results.

Grief or disappointment

Making room for losses, unmet hopes, or a future that feels different from what you imagined.

Feeling isolated

Feeling alone in your experience or unsure who can understand what you are going through.

Strain in relationships

Navigating different feelings, needs, or expectations with a partner or people close to you.

Difficult decisions

Considering next steps while balancing uncertainty, personal values, and practical concerns.

Questions and expectations

Deciding how to respond to comments, invitations, or questions about building a family.

CARE SHAPED AROUND YOU

Make room for your feelings.
Consider what you need.

Megan takes time to understand your experiences, concerns, strengths, and goals. Together, you can explore difficult feelings, coping, relationships, boundaries, and what support feels helpful.

Counseling offers space to consider your values and decisions without pressure toward a particular outcome. Megan can also discuss whether a reproductive mental health specialist would better meet particular needs. Medical questions remain part of your fertility care.

INFERTILITY COUNSELING

Questions are welcome.

You can begin with questions about your experience or the support available. Here are answers to some common questions about getting started.
WHAT CAN WE DISCUSS IN INFERTILITY COUNSELING?
You can bring feelings of uncertainty, grief, sadness, frustration, isolation, or stress related to infertility. Counseling can also provide space to explore relationship concerns, boundaries with others, difficult decisions, and changes in how you see your future. Your experience and goals guide what you discuss.
DO I NEED TO BE RECEIVING FERTILITY TREATMENT TO SEEK COUNSELING?
No. You can seek emotional support while pursuing an evaluation, considering treatment, taking a break, or deciding what comes next. You do not need to be receiving medical fertility treatment or have a clear plan before contacting Megan. If you plan to use insurance, she can explain any assessment and diagnosis requirements associated with your coverage.
HOW DOES MEGAN APPROACH INFERTILITY COUNSELING?
Megan begins by understanding your experiences, concerns, strengths, and goals. Together, you can explore difficult feelings, coping, relationships, boundaries, and what support you need. Counseling offers space to consider your values and decisions without pressure toward a particular outcome. She can also discuss whether a reproductive mental health specialist would better meet particular needs.
DOES COUNSELING REPLACE MEDICAL FERTILITY CARE OR IMPROVE THE CHANCES OF PREGNANCY?
Counseling supports emotional well-being and coping; it does not replace medical evaluation or fertility treatment. It does not guarantee or predict pregnancy outcomes. Megan provides mental health therapy, while medical questions about fertility, treatment options, and prognosis should be discussed with your fertility care provider. Needing emotional support does not mean you caused your infertility.
CAN WE MEET ONLINE?
Megan offers online counseling for clients located in Texas, as well as in-person sessions in Melissa. When you reach out, she can discuss availability and whether online or in-person care is appropriate for your needs. Online sessions can offer flexibility when appointments, work, or other responsibilities make attending in person difficult.
READY WHEN YOU ARE

You deserve support along the way.

You do not need a clear plan or the right words before reaching out. Begin with what feels difficult, what you are carrying, or what you would like support with.

Private-pay therapy is $165 for a 60-minute session.
