More About Carole Lieber Wilkins
“The process of creating a family is often not an easy one for many couples and individuals.
You may be faced with many very difficult choices.”
I’ve dedicated my career to helping those that are experiencing infertility make decisions that result in a sense of comfort and joy. I carry a deep understanding of how infertility can make you feel, as I’ve been through the process myself. Many years ago, I became a mom through both adoption and egg donation. As a result, I offer a unique perspective on what it means to parent children that may not be genetically related to us. I have decades of professional experience counseling, writing, lecturing, and teaching in the world of reproductive medicine, alternative family building, and parenting, which allows me to help you navigate your way to the family you desire.
The family building process can be a rocky road, and it would be my privilege to travel the road with you. I wish you the best as you work to create the family that is right for you.
Individual Counseling
Counseling is an opportunity to explore parts of your life that are challenging and which you feel require examination.
Couples Counseling
Sustaining a healthy relationship is one of life’s greatest joys, but it requires many tools such as communication, commitment and loyalty.
Consulting
I provide a multitude of consulting services that provide direct support for a wide range of needs.
Fertility Related Services
Most people find it very helpful to have someone to talk to during this struggle, someone with personal experience and professional expertise.
