Creating a family can bring many challenges. Infertility or pregnancy loss can strike at the core of your identity, your life plans, your relationships, your finances, and your coping strategies. Many people who are going through infertility feel helpless, sad, lonely, angry, guilty, jealous of pregnant friends and family, socially isolated, frustrated, and nervous about the future. It is often difficult to make decisions about treatment, especially when partners are not on the same page. Very often, people find it hard to enjoy anything, or think about anything besides having a baby. Some people might even question their faith. However, infertility can also be a time of strengthening bonds, gaining understanding of yourself, and learning new coping skills that will be assets for a lifetime. A professional with specialized training and experience can help. Dr. Weiss earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Human Development from Cornell and her PhD in Clinical Psychology from Fordham. She completed fellowship training at the Center for Reproductive Medicine and Infertility at Cornell Weill Medical Center. Dr. Weiss will listen, and together you will make a plan for getting through your family-building journey. Let’s make it easier to handle, so you can continue to work towards your goals, and at the same time, remember how to enjoy life.
