Gestational carriers go through such a unique experience that it can be hard for others to truly understand. Bookmark these affirmations for yourself or for your gestational carrier to help get you through when you’re feeling uncertain.

And if you need a listening ear that can truly empathize with you, our staff at Counseling With Joey includes experienced intended parents and surrogates. Head to counselingwithjoey.com to book a consultation.

This we believe.

We believe that our differences make us stronger. Families come in all shapes and sizes. All people deserve to experience the power of human connection and the comfort of being seen.

When you come to us for care, that’s what you can expect: counselors that wear their heart on their sleeve, respect you unconditionally, and are determined to help you reach your goals.

Between summer camps, playdates, snacks every 10 minutes, and keeping everyone entertained, it’s no surprise that many parents feel more exhausted in July than they did in May.

If you’re feeling short-tempered, depleted, or even resentful, it doesn’t make you a bad parent. It makes you human.
⠀
Here’s your reminder:

Rest is not earned—it’s necessary.
You don’t have to create “core memories” every day.
It’s okay to let the kids be bored.
You deserve support, too.

As third-party reproduction experts, we get asked all the time whether you should use a known gestational carrier, such as a family member or friend.

The answer? It depends.

Working with a known carrier can be a life-changing and deeply meaningful experience. It can bring families closer together and bond a friendship for life. It can also be emotionally complicated or downright messy.

No matter what you choose, the most important first step is to meet with an experienced therapist for a consultation. Visit counselingwithjoey.com to get started.

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.
