Comprehensive Support Services

When you’re seeking help for infertility, the decisions and emotions can seem overwhelming. Sutter’s fertility physicians and clinics take a comprehensive approach to fertility treatment. We offer resources and services that provide vital information and relieve emotional and physical distress to enhance your total well-being, mind and body.

Complementary Medicine

Our Institute of Health and Healing offers an array of alternative medicine options designed to promote mind-body wellness for fertility patients, including acupuncture, nutrition counseling and integrative medicine. These services complement the latest advances in fertility treatments. You and your doctor can look at all the options and make the choices that best meet your situation and preferences.

Fertility Counseling

Many fertility patients find themselves facing emotions like stress, depression or anger that interfere with their treatment and goals for a healthy pregnancy. Talking with a trained, professional counselor can help. Our Sutter fertility clinics partner with counselors in the community who specialize in fertility issues.

Fertility Support Groups

Having a sense that you’re not the only one dealing with infertility can prove profoundly helpful and comforting. Fertility-focused support groups are offered by reputable fertility support organizations such as RESOLVE. These groups provide a supportive, encouraging and safe context for members to discuss issues related to infertility as well as fertility treatment.

Special Lectures and Classes

Studies have shown stress reduction techniques not only decrease symptoms of psychological distress for fertility patients but also increase pregnancy rates. Because of this research, we offer mindfulness-based stress reduction classes led by experienced mindfulness teachers.

Doctors and support staff also offer lectures on a wide range of topics, from how to discuss fertility treatment with family members to third-party-reproduction options. These educational opportunities can help you feel more equipped and informed as you move forward with fertility treatment.
