Fertility challenges aren’t something you choose. The constant worry, the feelings of inadequacy, loneliness and the strain on your relationships can make it all seem overwhelming and unfair. Friends and family mean well, but their advice can make you feel even more misunderstood.
The journey to starting a family is exciting, but it can also be frustrating, overwhelming, and emotionally draining. The uncertainty, the waiting, and the endless cycle of hope and disappointment can take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being. It’s natural to feel isolated and misunderstood during this time, especially when well-meaning advice from others only seems to add to your stress. Fertility counseling provides you with a safe space to navigate these complex emotions and challenges.
Here, you can share your frustrations, fears, and hopes without any judgment. Our specialized fertility counselors in Long Island and New York provide the tools and support you need during this challenging season of life.

WE BELIEVE EVERYONE HAS A UNIQUE STORY AND SOMETIMES, WORDS JUST AREN'T ENOUGH TO TELL IT.
At Creative Arts Therapy Source, art isn’t just an activity; it’s a language that allows you to express your deepest emotions, fears, dreams, and hopes. Your artwork becomes a window that offers a comprehensive view into your pain, experiences, and the hopes you have for the future.
We want therapy to be a joyful, enlightening, and playful exploration where you are free to express yourself in a way that feels right to you. Talk therapy, with the support of art therapy, can help you uncover a new perspective.
We want to help you tell your story
Our first step is to truly understand your challenges, strengths, and needs. We will spend our first session learning your story and goals.
Together, we’ll tailor a plan with the approach that best resonates with your needs. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but a personalized roadmap towards your well-being.
With regular sessions, we use art therapy and other psychotherapy modalities to continuously improve your well-being, supporting your journey toward lasting change.
Every person is unique, and comes to therapy with different needs. While we can’t guarantee specific results or a set timeline for fertility counseling, we do know that with consistency, you may start to see improvements over time, such as:
Fertility counseling provides a safe space to express your feelings, offers coping strategies to manage stress, and helps normalize the emotional experiences associated with infertility.
The session typically involves discussing your feelings and concerns, exploring the impact of infertility on your life and relationships, and developing personalized coping strategies. We also provide psychoeducation about the emotional aspects of infertility. Our Fertility counselors are also creative arts therapists, so you will have an opportunity to engage in creative ways to express your feelings in session.
We can offer strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reframe negative thoughts, relaxation techniques like mindfulness and meditation, stress management practices, and support for developing a positive outlook.
Counseling provides the space to grieve and process these losses, offers support in managing these complex emotions, and helps you find ways to honor your experiences and move forward with hope.
Yes. Counselors can help you explore your values and preferences, understand the emotional implications of different options, and support you in making informed and thoughtful decisions.
The most important aspect of therapy is building trust between you and your therapist and this can take time. Our fertility therapists are experts in creating a safe and welcoming environment and building rapport with our clients within the first 4 sessions. Once that groundwork is laid out and you start to feel more comfortable with the therapist and therapy process, that’s when the deep work can begin. In our experience, clients will start to feel some relief from their challenges between 8 to 12 sessions.
