DEALING WITH
Infertility

Psychotherapy for infertility in Toronto offering compassionate care.

Infertility is a deeply personal and often painful experience, filled with challenges that can leave you feeling isolated, frustrated, and emotionally drained.

If you are reading this, our guess is that this might be the hardest challenge you have ever encountered. If you are anything like the 90% of clients we help, you are a high achiever, and this is the first time you have worked so hard, and walked away with so little. If this were any other situation, you would have stopped by now. But you can’t. Because having the family of your dreams is part of Designing Your Life. It means too much. It means everything. And so it feels like there is no other choice but to soldier on.

Our Commitment to Easing Your Struggles

At The Design Your Life Centre in East Toronto, we chose to specialize in infertility psychotherapy because we’ve seen the silent suffering that so many individuals and couples endure. No one should have to face this struggle alone. Our team of experienced therapists is dedicated to helping you manage the emotional and mental health challenges that come with infertility, providing you with mental health strategies for coping with infertility and finding a way forward.

How We Can Help

The experienced therapists at The Design Your Life Centre offer infertility counselling that addresses the specific pain points of coping with infertility:

Addressing Emotional Pain

Our therapy sessions provide a safe, non-judgmental space to express these feelings and work through them. We help you process these emotions so they don’t overwhelm you or impact your daily life.

Facing Difficult Decisions

Infertility often forces you to make tough decisions, such as whether to continue treatments, consider egg freezing, or explore other options like trying to conceive with a sperm donor. These decisions can be overwhelming, and the fear
of making the wrong choice can add to stress. 

Our counselling sessions provide a supportive environment where you can explore your options, discuss your concerns, and make informed decisions that align with your values
and goals.

Rebuilding Self-Worth

Infertility can leave you feeling defeated and questioning your worth. Therapy helps you rebuild your sense of self, focusing on your strengths and values. We work with you to find meaning and purpose, even amid these challenges, helping you regain confidence and control over your life.

Managing Chronic Stress

We provide tools and strategies to help you manage this stress. Our evidence-based approaches are designed to help you cope with the ongoing pressures of trying to conceive.

Support for Single Women and Same-Sex Couples

Single women trying to conceive and same-sex couples also face unique challenges in this process. Our therapy services include support for single women trying to conceive, counselling for same-sex couples trying to conceive, and specialized same-sex couples counselling for infertility.
 
We’re here to ensure that everyone has access to the support they need, regardless of their situation.

Strengthening Relationships

Infertility can strain even the strongest relationships. You and your partner may have different ways of coping, which can lead to misunderstandings and conflict. Our infertility counselling for couples focuses on improving communication and helping you work through these challenges together, strengthening your relationship.
