Infertility Counseling & Therapy in Atlanta and Online
Find support, reclaim your sense of self, and feel less alone during your infertility journey
Infertility is a journey that can affect nearly every aspect of your life, your relationships, your career, your finances, your connection with your body, and even your sense of self.
You may find yourself organizing your life around appointments, procedures, treatment cycles, and test results. Relationships may feel more complicated. Work may become harder to manage. Conversations that once felt ordinary may suddenly feel painful. You may be surrounded by people who care about you and still feel deeply alone.
The uncertainty can be especially overwhelming. There is often no clear timeline, no guarantee that following every recommendation will lead to the outcome you hope for, and no simple way to prepare for what comes next.
Although therapy cannot erase that uncertainty, it can help you connect with an internal sense of safety, steadiness and calm. You can begin to reconnect with yourself, make more intentional choices, and reclaim a sense of agency in a process that can leave you feeling as though so much is outside your control.
At Women's Wellness Atlanta, Dr. Andreka F. Peat provides specialized, culturally affirming infertility therapy for individuals and couples navigating the emotional realities of infertility, fertility treatment, reproductive loss, and family-building decisions.
You do not have to be certain, or currently in treatment, to reach out. Every conversation is confidential.
You're Not Alone in This
The emotional weight of infertility rarely stays contained to medical appointments. You may notice:
• Anxiety before appointments or test results
• Grief after a difficult cycle, miscarriage, or loss
• Strain with a partner, family, or friends
• Pain around pregnancy announcements or baby showers
• Guilt, anger, or shame you didn't expect to feel
• Uncertainty about whether to continue, pause, or stop treatment
These reactions aren't a sign that something is wrong with you. Your nervous system is responding to real, prolonged uncertainty. Therapy can help you meet that response with compassion instead of self-judgment, before you reach a breaking point.
How Infertility Counseling and Therapy Can Help
Therapy won't erase the uncertainty of infertility. It can help you:
• Manage anxiety and the chronic stress of uncertainty
• Process grief, disappointment, and ambiguous loss
• Prepare emotionally for IVF, IUI, or another treatment step
• Communicate more effectively with your partner and care team
• Set boundaries around questions, invitations, and announcements
• Reclaim a sense of choice: asking questions, seeking a second opinion, or taking a break between cycles
• Reconnect with your body through nervous-system education, mindfulness, and gentle somatic practices, offered in a way that's culturally responsive to you
The goal isn't to erase every hard emotion. It's to help you feel less consumed by the journey and more connected to yourself within it.
Support for Every Fertility Journey
There's no single way to move through infertility. We support people navigating:
• A new infertility diagnosis or trying to conceive
• IUI, IVF, fertility preservation, or repeated cycles
• Pregnancy loss, miscarriage, or reproductive grief
• Primary ovarian insufficiency or medically complex infertility
• Donor conception, surrogacy, or third-party reproduction
• Single parenthood by choice or LGBTQ+ family-building
• Decisions about pausing, changing direction, or ending treatment
Wherever you are, there's no pressure to choose a particular path.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be undergoing fertility treatment to begin therapy?
No. You may begin therapy while trying to conceive, considering treatment, undergoing treatment, taking a break, grieving a loss, exploring another family-building path, or deciding what comes next.
Can therapy eliminate the uncertainty I feel?
No single session can remove the uncertainty of infertility. It can help you manage difficult moments and identify where you still have choice.
Can my partner participate?
Depending on your needs, therapy may include work on communication, coping styles, intimacy, grief, and shared decision-making. Contact the office to discuss the most appropriate format.
Is online infertility therapy available?
Yes. Dr. Peat provides secure virtual infertility counseling and therapy across Georgia and more than 40 additional PSYPACT states, including North Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama, covering fast-growing fertility-care markets such as Charlotte, Nashville, Memphis, and Birmingham, in addition to Atlanta. Your location during the session, not your state of residence, determines eligibility, and we confirm availability before scheduling.
Is infertility therapy the same as a donor or surrogacy psychological screening?
No. Therapy supports your emotional wellbeing and personal goals. A reproductive screening or consultation is a structured service completed for a specific family-building process. Contact the office to help determine which service you need.
Will therapy tell me whether I should continue fertility treatment?
No. Therapy provides a confidential place to explore your emotions, values, options, and limits so you can make a decision that fits your life. Your fertility team remains responsible for medical recommendations.
