Psychological Support Programs

Monthly Discussion Series

Our practice holds a discussion series each month addressing such issues as stress management, adoption, and other topics related to infertility. This series is moderated by a member of the counseling staff and features guest experts from the Shady Grove Fertility medical team as well as the community.

Our psychological support programs are open to current and future patients of Shady Grove Fertility Reproductive Science Center. They are free of charge and registration is requested.
