YOU DESERVE TO FEEL CONFIDENT AND FULFILLED IN THE LIFE YOU'VE CREATED

Compassionate, collaborative support for those enduring involuntary childlessness.

Involuntary Childlessness (or Childfree Not By Choice) is an experience lived by those who would have desired to become parents but were unable to do so after experiences such as a diagnosis of infertility, a reproductive trauma, or attempts to build their family that did not result in parenthood.

At Embodied Empowerment, we're here to support you as you build clarity about what it looks like to move forward in creating a life without children. We understand that this journey of healing often involves processing difficult emotions of shame, grief, and anger. Our therapists  provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore the experiences that have brought you here and begin to create a future that aligns with who you are. 

Involuntary Childlessness and Mental Health

Those who are redefining their lives after involuntary childlessness are often forced to reconsider how they have always imagined and planned for their futures. They may be recovering from intense or exhausting efforts to build a family, or healing from additional traumas that have prevented them from creating the family they've always longed for. Those who identify as childless often feel unheard, unsupported, and unacknowledged as they navigate life in a world that tends to prioritize the experiences of those who have children. Oftentimes this results in longer term experiences with emotions like anxiety, grief, anger, and shame.
