Counseling Services
Fertility treatment is a time consuming, often frustrating process. It's a taxing monthly cycle of hope and disappointment. This experience can test the most stoic patient. FCI’s highly trained and experienced staff will keep you well informed about your treatment. We will provide you with support, helping you cope more effectively with the stresses of fertility problems and treatment. We also recommend that you explore additional education and support available to you through outside resources.
In addition to our team of healthcare professionals, FCI offers the following support and resources:
