The AFA Therapist Network Form

Patients experiencing infertility and other reproductive health issues often have difficulty finding mental health professionals experienced in these areas.  The American Fertility Association has developed a Therapist Network of mental health professionals experienced and qualified to work with this population.  This resource is available to patients on our website, as well as in our National Infertility and Adoption Resource Directory. 

To be considered for this network, we are asking mental health professionals to provide us with some brief information about your work.  The final list for the AFA Therapist Network will be compiled by the Co-directors of Support Groups for the AFA.  Final selection will be based on training (including continuing education) and experience in the field of reproductive health issues.  Please note that you must be a professional member of the AFA to participate in this network.

REQUIREMENTS: 

    *Graduate degree in a mental health field
    *Licensed/certified for independent mental health practice
    *Malpractice insurance in effect
    *Experience in counseling individuals/couples/groups experiencing infertility, pregnancy after infertility, postpartum issues, adoption, and/or parenting children who are conceived through the ARTS or adopted      
    *Professional Membership of The AFA ($160 per year)

The AFA Therapist Network will be updated every year and we will ask listed mental health professionals to update the information about their practice yearly to make sure that this information remains current.

Thank you for your interest in participating in the AFA Therapist Network.
