Supporting Your Third Party Fertility Journey

Psychological Evaluations for Fertility Journeys, Surrogates, and Donors

At PECGNA, we understand the emotional complexity of third-party fertility pathways such as surrogacy and egg donation. That’s why we provide specialized psychological evaluations for fertility journeys, designed to prepare and support all participants—intended parents, surrogates, and donors.

Our licensed psychologists are trained in reproductive and clinical psychology, ensuring that every evaluation is thorough, ethically sound, and focused on emotional preparedness. We assess readiness, expectations, and communication needs to foster healthy, transparent relationships throughout the fertility process.

Through telehealth mental health assessments, PECGNA makes it easy to access professional evaluations from anywhere in the U.S. Our compassionate, culturally sensitive approach ensures each client receives personalized support that aligns with their journey and legal requirements.
