Complimentary Care

Individual and Group Counseling

Many patients feel a loss over their emotions and futures. Some people do not feel safe discussing their concerns with friends, families or partners. Individual therapy is available for any couple or individual that feels they could benefit from the additional support throughout this process. Counseling provides the opportunity to discuss stress managing techniques, depression and anxiety, coping with loss, relationship issues and infertility interference with everyday life. Please call Donna for more information 248-619-3100.   We can also refer our patients to an outside professional, Deborah Lancaster, M.S., R.N.C. for one-on-one counseling.
