Intended Parent Wellness Support
Surrogacy can feel emotionally uncertain and isolating, even when everything looks on track. Intended Parent Wellness Support offers structured, short-term mental health support during pregnancy and early postpartum.
This support is designed for moments that don’t require ongoing therapy, but where having a dedicated, experienced professional can make the process feel steadier and more manageable.
This support can be added at any point during the surrogacy journey, whether you are working with an agency or navigating the process independently.
What This Support Offers
This package includes four structured sessions, offered as a flat-fee program:
• Up to three sessions during pregnancy
• One optional postpartum session
• Flexible timing based on need and circumstance
Sessions may support intended parents with:
• Anxiety during pregnancy or transfer cycles
• Failed transfers, miscarriage, or uncertainty about next steps
• Differences between partners in coping or decision-making
• Emotional strain of not being the one carrying the pregnancy
• Questions about talking with children about surrogacy or donor conception
• Complex decisions around embryos, timing, or medical recommendations
You can access support just for intended parents, or choose to include additional support for a gestational carrier if you’d like support on both sides of the journey.
Two Wellness Support Options
Intended parents may choose between two wellness support options, depending on what feels most appropriate for their journey.
Intended Parent Wellness Support
Focused support for intended parents only. This option provides short-term, structured sessions during pregnancy and early postpartum to help navigate emotional stress, communication, and decision-making as the journey unfolds.
Combined Intended Parent + Gestational Carrier Wellness Support
This option includes Intended Parent Wellness Support along with independent wellness support for the gestational carrier throughout the journey.
Gestational carrier support is provided separately and privately, with the goal of supporting emotional wellbeing, stability, and healthy communication throughout the journey.
