We can refer you for emotional counseling with a licensed counselor who has many years experience with Infertility and offers the Mind and Body Program developed at Harvard. Two study groups with similar infertilities undergoing infertility treatment in Boston showed the Mind and Body program participants had an increase of pregnancy rates up to 60% compared to those who did not participate in the Mind and Body program.
