What does an infertility counselor do?

An infertility counselor is a mental health professional who specializes in supporting individuals and couples dealing with infertility issues. They provide emotional support, help clients navigate the complex feelings associated with fertility challenges, and guide them through treatment options and decision-making processes. Infertility counselors also assist clients in coping with stress, grief, and relationship difficulties that may arise during fertility treatments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an infertility counselor?

To thrive as an Infertility Counselor, you need a background in counseling or psychology, with a relevant degree and, often, licensure as a mental health professional. Familiarity with client management systems, confidentiality protocols, and sometimes specialized certifications in reproductive or infertility counseling is important. Exceptional empathy, active listening, and the ability to communicate complex emotional issues sensitively are crucial soft skills in this role. These qualifications enable counselors to provide effective support, guide clients through emotional challenges, and foster trust during a difficult and sensitive process.

How does an infertility counselor typically collaborate with other healthcare professionals in patient care?

Infertility counselors work closely with reproductive endocrinologists, nurses, and other specialists to support patients undergoing fertility treatments. They often participate in multidisciplinary team meetings to coordinate care plans, discuss patient progress, and ensure emotional and psychological needs are addressed alongside medical interventions. This collaborative approach helps provide holistic care, enhances communication between providers, and ensures patients receive consistent support throughout their fertility journey.

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine is seeking a highly qualified individual to join our tenure track or non-tenure clinical track consistent with clinical experience and research interest in our Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI) Division.

Our department's strength lies in its interdisciplinary team, which includes physicians, nurse midwives, advanced practice nurses, physician associates, genetic counselors, sonographers, and embryologists.

Her background ensures a strong focus on women's health, maternal care, and emerging infectious diseases in pregnancy, which are critical areas in medical education and research.

Our chair and Department Executive Officer Christian Pettker, MD, is dedicated to the growth and success of our department. He is a key supporter for the maintained success and growth of the REI division.

We interpret all gynecology ultrasounds for our hospital system, which includes:

  • Three outpatient locations

Our ultrasound unit is accredited by the American Institute for Ultrasound in Medicine. Additionally, we have two part-time genetic counselors, shared with the Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine.
