IVF Counseling & Emotional Support for Your Fertility Journey
In Palm Desert and Throughout California.
Because fertility isn’t just a medical journey, it’s an emotional one.
Are you riding the rollercoaster of infertility with no clear end in sight?
Month after month. Appointment after appointment. The hope. The heartbreak. The waiting.
Trying to grow your family can feel like a full-time job; one that impacts your body, mind, and spirit.
Whether you're undergoing IVF, IUI, using donor eggs or sperm, exploring surrogacy, or facing unexplained infertility, the emotional weight is real, and you shouldn't have to carry it alone.
A Safe Space for All of You
As both a licensed therapist and someone who has walked this path personally, I understand the isolation and overwhelm that fertility challenges bring. At Haven Wellness Therapy, you’re not a chart number or a diagnosis. You’re a whole human with a story that deserves to be heard and honored.
Whether you’re deep in treatment, waiting in uncertainty, or grieving a loss, IVF therapy offers a place to land. A place to feel, to exhale, and to find your next step, on your terms.
IVF Counseling Can Support You With:
IVF, IUI, and other assisted reproductive technologies
Grieving infertility and processing reproductive trauma
Navigating donor conception and surrogacy decisions
Relationship strain and communication challenges
Emotional readiness for pregnancy, parenting, or child-free living
Letting go of the family path you once imagined
Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
Together, we’ll create a therapeutic space where you can:
✔️ Feel your emotions without judgment
✔️ Explore the meaning and identity shifts this journey brings
✔️ Strengthen your relationship with yourself and your partner
✔️ Make hard decisions with clarity and compassion
✔️ Reconnect with hope in a way that feels safe and real
This isn’t about pushing through; it’s about pausing, softening, and making space for everything you’re holding.

-
Hi, I’m Sophie Bain-Tohl (she/her), a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Haven Wellness. As someone who’s been through IVF myself, I know how consuming and lonely the fertility process can feel. I provide a grounded, compassionate space where you don’t have to explain or justify your emotions, just show up as you are.
What to Expect:
In our work together, we’ll explore the rollercoaster of fertility, from hope to grief to decision-making. Whether you’re navigating IVF, miscarriage, donor conception, or frozen embryo decisions, you’ll be met with empathy, clarity, and support at every step. -
I show up with warmth, honesty, and zero judgment. I’m not a blank slate kind of therapist — I’ll reflect, ask thoughtful questions, and gently challenge you when it feels supportive. Our work is collaborative, embodied, and paced with care. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start.
