Support Through the Process

To help ease the stress associated with infertility, we encourage couples to consider outside support and guidance. RESOLVE is an international support organization developed by infertile women and couples, and it is one of the most widely regarded resources. We also refer our patients to counselors and psychologists with expertise in reproductive issues, who offer individual, couple, or group sessions.
