Stress Management and Emotional Support

As many of our patients know from personal experience, fertility problems can be quite stressful. Each month brings a roller coaster of emotions, from hope and excitement to anxiety and grief. Medical procedures, surgeries, and medications create additional stress, taking their toll on the body and mind. We recognize these stresses not only impact our patients individually, but they also impact our patients' relationships. Partners may cope with fertility problems in different ways, leading to tension in that most significant relationship. Friends and family often don't understand the medical and emotional aspects of the fertility process, leading patients to feel frustrated and alone.

At the Texas Center for Reproductive Acupuncture, we believe that emotional support services can play a vital role in helping patients maintain a good quality of life while traveling the journey of trying to conceive. We support the mental and emotional dimensions of the fertility process through individual counseling, couples counseling, support groups and free one-hour workshops. All of these are provided by a licensed psychologist who coordinates emotional support services for our Center.
