I also offer third party reproduction evaluations for surrogates, donors and IP's.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I will meet you where you are on your journey, to listen and connect, and to support you on your pathway to positive change.

If you and your partner are experiencing conflict during your fertility or surrogacy journey, it probably means you’re both taking it seriously.

Family-building can brush against our most deeply-held fears, values, and sensitivities. It’s normal for the experience to surface some conflict between you and your partner. Remember, your partner is your teammate, not your opponent - when the road gets bumpy, it’s important to prioritize respectful communication.

Relationship issues are just one of the things we can provide support on during an intended parent psychoeducation consultation. Head to counselingwithjoey.com to learn more or book your consult.

A trend we love to see: More and more families are working with surrogates to build their families! Thanks to increasing popularity, there are more resources than ever before for people interested in surrogacy. We’ve dedicated our lives to sharing what we learned from our surrogacy journey and helping others do the same. Head to counselingwithjoey.com to get started.

The cultural response to Heated Rivalry tells us something important.

Audiences are looking for q***r stories with depth, sweetness, and nuance. When LGBTQ+ intimacy is portrayed with care, it resonates - because it reflects experiences that have always existed, even when they haven’t been visible.

As LGBTQ+ family-building specialists, we know how important it is to represent the full emotional lives of LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families. More of this! 🏒🥅

Happy New Year!

01/01/2026

If you’re heading out the door to a New Year’s Eve celebration, take a moment to pause.

The holidays can be challenging, and New Year’s may be the most of all. It’s tempting to compare your achievements with others, get down on yourself about where you thought you’d be, or set unforgiving expectations for the year ahead.

Resist the urge. Breathe. Trust that you’ve done enough and you are enough. 🤍🥂

12/29/2025

The week between Christmas and New Year’s can be a blur of plans and parties. But all around us, nature is slowing down and resting. We try to hold ourselves to the same high standards all year round, but that’s not in our natures - it’s in our culture.

If you’re finding yourself slowing down, turning inward, and seeking rest, that’s okay. Give yourself permission to do less, even (or especially!) when the world is pushing you to do more and more.

12/25/2025

Whatever your Christmas looks like this year - whether you’re celebrating with family, holding mixed emotions, or finding yourself in a season of waiting - we’re wishing you moments of joy and connection.

Remember to take care of yourself and do what you need to protect your peace. You are enough, and you deserve rest.

Merry Christmas from all of us at Counseling With Joey & Associates. ❤️

Wishing you a merry Christmas, happy holiday, and joyful new year from our family to yours 💝
Amidst a busy year of change and growth for CWJ&A, it means so much to us to pause and enjoy the season as a family. May you enjoy moments of peace and connection over the coming weeks and the year ahead!

Joey’s back to share another tip for anyone struggling with their fertility or mental health this holiday season.

Let’s talk Christmas cards. They can be a source of joy and festivity, but also a major trigger for anyone who’s trying to build their family. Be mindful about how you engage. 🫶

Joey is back with another tip on how to protect your peace this holiday season. Curating your social network, both online and in-person, is one of the best things you can do for yourself. 🫶

12/16/2025

2025 has been one of the biggest years CWJ&A has ever had— from new team members, to our expanding service area, to the many families we’ve helped grow. It’s also been an undeniably challenging year, especially for many in our community.

As we look forward to the year ahead, we’re more committed than ever to our belief that people of all identities deserve to build the families they dream of. And if you’re the one dreaming of a family in 2026, we’re here for you. 🫶

When life begins to feel overwhelming...

When life begins to feel overwhelming, or it just seems like something isn’t working, it’s important to remember that you’re not alone. Sometimes the best way forward is to find a safe place free of judgement, where empathy and unconditional regard await. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I will meet you where you are on your journey, to listen and connect, and to support you on your pathway to positive change.

In my practice, I help individuals, couples, families from all backgrounds heal and grow by building trust rooted in the power of human connection. I have worked with a diverse range of ages, sexual orientations, and ethnicities and also offer third party reproduction evaluations for surrogates, donors, and intended parents considering surrogacy. If you’re seeking help with a personal challenge, have a family or relationship conflict, or are exploring surrogacy, I encourage you to call for a consultation.
