Fertility Counselor for Women in Denver, CO | Sitting in Sisterhood

When you’re trying to conceive—or healing after trying—the world keeps moving, while you feel stuck between hope and heartbreak. There’s pressure to stay positive, but no one talks about the grief, anxiety, and shame that can quietly take root during fertility struggles. If this is your path, you deserve support that sees all of you.


At Sitting in Sisterhood, I offer compassionate care through fertility counseling in Denver to help you navigate this journey emotionally, somatically, and spiritually. Whether you're just beginning, exploring IVF, or grieving a loss, ’ll meet you exactly where you are. I also provide postpartum therapy in Denver for those continuing the emotional journey after birth—because your healing deserves ongoing support, no matter the stage.

What is fertility counseling?

Fertility counseling is a specialized form of therapy that supports women facing reproductive challenges—from uncertainty and hormonal changes to relational strain and identity shifts. This work isn’t just about reproductive outcomes. It’s about creating emotional space to process the complex layers of this experience, including the parts that feel invisible to others.


In our sessions, we talk about what’s hard to name: the jealousy, fear, disappointment, and exhaustion that often accompany fertility journeys. It’s a space for you to feel seen, validated, and reconnected with your body—even if your body doesn’t feel like it’s cooperating.

Most common symptoms of fertility-related distress:

  • High anxiety around ovulation, pregnancy tests, or medical appointments
  • Feelings of failure, inadequacy, or self-blame
  • Emotional numbness or shutdown after repeated disappointment
  • Jealousy or isolation in social situations involving children or pregnancy
  • Difficulty talking to your partner or feeling emotionally distant
  • Panic, depression, or obsessive thoughts about timing and outcomes

They’re emotional signals that your system is asking me to help you hold with care.

How do I know if I need fertility counseling?

  • Do I feel like I’m constantly holding my breath—waiting for good news that never comes?
  • Am I consumed by cycles, timing, or trying to control the outcome?
  • Do I feel disconnected from my body, my partner, or myself?
  • Have I experienced miscarriage, IVF failure, or fertility trauma that I haven’t fully processed?
  • Do I feel emotionally exhausted but unsure where to turn?

If you answered yes to any of these, fertility counseling can help you find steadiness and self-trust again.

FAQ

What does a therapist that helps cope with fertility issues do? 

A fertility therapist provides emotional support, education, and guidance through the fertility journey. Unlike a doctor, their focus isn’t clinical—it’s holistic. At Sitting in Sisterhood, my fertility counseling helps you manage anxiety, navigate decisions, and process your experience in a grounded and supportive space.

What is the biggest fertility issue?

There isn’t one single “biggest” issue—fertility challenges are complex and deeply personal. But one of the most common emotional struggles I see is the sense of shame or self-blame when things aren’t going as expected. This can lead to chronic stress, disconnection from the body, and emotional isolation. In therapy, we explore these feelings with compassion, so you can reconnect with yourself and feel supported no matter where you are in the process.

What type of therapy is best for infertility? 

Therapies that integrate trauma-informed care, nervous system support, and somatic practices—like what I offer at Sitting in Sisterhood—are particularly helpful. These approaches validate both the emotional and physical aspects of the fertility experience, creating space for healing.

Can you get pregnant while on anxiety meds?

Yes, many women do conceive while on anxiety medication. It’s a deeply personal decision best made with your doctor. In therapy, we help you explore your options with compassion, so you can make choices that align with your wellbeing and values.

How can I relax my mind to get pregnant? 

Relaxation isn't a magic cure—but calming the nervous system can support hormonal balance and emotional clarity. I use somatic tools, mindfulness, and nervous system practices to help you feel more at home in your body, regardless of outcome.
