implications counselling FOR IPs​
60 min session + report
$235
Implications counselling is a required step for intended parents pursuing surrogacy or
third-party reproduction. These sessions provide a safe space to explore the emotional, relational, and practical considerations of growing your family through surrogacy, donor eggs, sperm, or embryos. Together, we’ll review what the process means for you, your partner (if applicable), your future child, and your wider support system.
Following the session, a written report can be provided for your fertility clinic as part of the requirements to move forward with treatment.​​​​​​​​​​​​
surrogate & donor​
assessments​
60 min session + report​​
$235
As part of the process for third-party reproduction in Canada, surrogates and donors complete a psychosocial assessment with a qualified mental health professional. These sessions are a supportive space to explore readiness, expectations, support systems, and the emotional considerations involved in donation or carrying for another family.
After the assessment, a written report is provided to your fertility clinic to meet requirements and to ensure everyone feels prepared, supported, and informed moving forward.
