This consultation satisfies IVF clinic/Surrogacy Agency requirements, and both include the written report that is sent to your clinic/surrogacy agency. (The optional add-on longer session allows us to go further in depth and allots time to mapping the journey ahead.)

Yes, the consultation fee includes both the consultation itself and the report that I write and send to your relevant fertility clinic. 

Yes, most…

As for the consultation, it does not constitute therapy and no assessment, diagnosis, or treatment is completed. It is a psychoeducational consultation, intended to discuss several aspects of the assisted reproductive technology/IVF/surrogacy process. After our meeting, I will write and send a report to the relevant fertility clinic you are working with. Depending on the state/country where the birth will be, your fertility clinic may also provide it to your attorney, who may also include it with a motion for parentage with the relevant state court.

The policy at Sam Cohen Paz Therapy is that everyone is treated as a person deserving compassion, care, respect, and reverence. This includes mutual respect for scheduling and appointments.

Things come up and plans change, and that is completely understandable. With regards to the practice’s scheduling policies, it is kindly asked that you give 48 hours notice before a cancellation or reschedule in order to avoid the cancelation/reschedule fee. This fee is the full amount of the appointment type for reschedules/cancelations/no shows. Please reach out via phone or email to reschedule or cancel so that you can find an appointment that better fits your schedule.
