Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility Psychology Clinic

Navigating fertility care can be emotionally complex, and our dedicated psychological services are here to support you through every step. Our reproductive medicine psychology team offers specialized, evidence-based counseling for individuals and couples. Interventions may focus on fertility-related treatment decisions, managing stress, coping with mood or anxiety symptoms, navigating relationship issues, and processing grief and loss. Individual sessions can also offer evidence-based interventions for lifestyle and health behavior needs, such as supporting healthy weight management, improving sleep, and substance use cessation. We work closely with your medical team to ensure compassionate, integrated care helping you to feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout your fertility journey.

An evidence-based group intervention provides additional support for individuals undergoing fertility evaluation and treatment within the Reproductive Medicine Center. Grounded in empirically supported approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based interventions, the group addresses stress, anxiety, mood symptoms, and coping with uncertainty, treatment demands, and reproductive loss. Group participation offers peer support in a clinically guided setting and is associated with improved psychological coping and emotional adjustment during fertility care.

This group is designed to help support the well-being of individuals experiencing infertility. The group is offered virtually via MyChart Zoom. Participants are requested to have a secure connection and private space to attend.

This is a recurring group offered several months per year. The group meets every other Thursday at 4 pm.
Session Topics:

• Understanding infertility as a chronic medical stressor
• Identifying common emotional responses to infertility
• Increasing awareness of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
• Developing healthy thinking styles and coping mechanisms
• Strengthening support system and communication skills
• Reconnecting with personal values

This group is educational and skill-based. It is not intended to assess or diagnose individual mental health conditions. This is a closed group. You are asked to join the first session or wait to begin attending the next time the group is offered.

If you are interested or have further questions, please call (262) 253-9220. Individuals do not need to be established patients with the Froedtert Reproductive Medicine Center to participate.

The American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) guidelines indicate all individuals and couples pursuing donor conception complete a psychological evaluation. The goal of this assessment is to ensure informed decision-making regarding treatment options, realistic expectations for treatment, navigating challenges or complications, ensuring mood and coping stability throughout treatment, addressing disclosure with intended child and others in support system, and any other clinical or ethical factors that may pertain to treatment.
