What qualifications do PECNA psychologists have to conduct psychological evaluations for egg donors?

All PECNA psychologists are highly trained, doctorate-level clinicians specializing in reproductive psychology. They bring a wealth of experience in conducting thorough psychological evaluations for egg donors, ensuring the highest standards of care. PECNA’s psychologists follow the guidelines set forth by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), which emphasize the importance of assessing a donor’s emotional well-being, motivations, and readiness for the egg donation process. The ASRM guidelines recommend that psychologists evaluate the donor’s understanding of the medical procedures, legal obligations, and potential emotional challenges involved in egg donation. These evaluations ensure that donors are fully informed, emotionally prepared, and capable of making autonomous decisions regarding their participation in the donation process. PECNA’s evaluations aim to protect the well-being of both the donor and the intended parents, ensuring that all parties are emotionally supported and informed throughout the journey.
