When you’re dealing with fertility issues, you need support. Infertility can lead to extreme feelings of guilt, shame, and disappointment with your own body. With the right support, you can learn to cope with the challenges you are facing, and move forward with a healthy body image and secure relationships.

You need a professional who can help you navigate your options and teach you skills to cope with your situation, whether it is infertility, IVF, or third-party reproduction. Whether you are located in downtown Santa Barbara, the suburbs of Santa Barbara, other nearby places such as Ventura, Lompoc, or anywhere else in California, Mental Health Match can help you easily find an experienced therapist or counselor who best meets your needs.
