The path to building a family through assisted reproduction is rarely simple.
Whether you are an intended parent navigating the emotional terrain of infertility or IVF, a gestational carrier offering an extraordinary gift, or a donor contributing to someone else's dream of parenthood — you deserve support that understands the weight and complexity of what you are undertaking.

What to expect
The psychological evaluation typically lasts between 2 and 2½ hours and consists of two parts: a clinical interview and a psychological assessment.
The clinical interview gives us the chance to get to know you and, if applicable, your partner. We will ask about lifestyle, education, social factors, and medical history. For gestational carriers we will also explore your support system. We will discuss the emotional, psychological, and physical components of the process, potential challenges, and unexpected outcomes. This is also your time to ask anything you want to know — about the process, future implications, or how you might talk about this experience with your current or future family.
Following the interview, you will complete a written psychological assessment covering topics related to mental health.
After both parts are complete, we will generate a report provided directly to your clinic. You may also request a personal feedback session with your clinician to receive a copy of your evaluation and discuss the findings.
The evaluation is one step in your journey. Our goal is to make sure you feel informed, prepared, and supported every step of the way.
