We care for your emotional wellbeing at every step
A safe space for expression and support throughout your journey. With psychologists who specialize in assisted reproduction, you don't have to go through this alone. Because the path to your baby is also nurtured from within.
At the Institute we created the Ingenes Emotional Health Unit (EHU), where our team of specialists in psychotherapy and reproductive psychology supports you throughout treatment, helping you recognize your emotions and learn to manage them, so you can be more receptive to the process and feel accompanied along the way.
Several studies by the American Fertility Society showed that 64% of patients who received emotional support during their Assisted Reproduction treatment reached a higher pregnancy rate, compared with 36% of those who began treatment without any kind of support. Alongside our Assisted Reproduction treatments, EHU offers you a safe space to validate your emotions, feel heard and understood without judgment, and go through this process with greater calm and confidence.
Because your emotional wellbeing is also part of your assisted reproduction experience.
- 0% higher pregnancy rate with emotional support
- 0% of patients feel better from the very first session
- 0 branches with in-person and online EHU care
- 0% confidential and judgment-free
We care for your journey from the inside out
Our commitment is to bring your little star down from the sky with as little strain on you as possible. To do that, we need to get to know you and stay close to you.
-
Recognize your emotions
We help you identify what you feel at each stage, without judging and without minimizing it. Validating your emotions is the first step to transforming them.
-
Holistic balance
By creating positive changes in your physical, mental and emotional state, we help you reach a balance that makes you more receptive to treatment.
-
Ongoing support
From the day you arrive at the Institute until the end of the process. Individual, couples or group sessions, in person or online, adapted to your story.
A space of trust at every moment
Depending on the program you choose, EHU includes different workshops and support sessions, all at no additional cost to your treatment.
- Initial Program
Orange Group Workshop
3 Saturday group sessions, held every two weeks. We give you tools and information to cope with treatment and move forward with greater clarity toward the moment you bring your baby home.
- Comprehensive BEC Program
Orange Workshop (individual or couples)
An initial individual or couples session to get to know you and give you personalized recommendations before you begin treatment. Duration: about 50 minutes. Format: online or in person.
- Comprehensive BEC Program
Violet Workshop
One individual or couples session per cycle if you have a negative pregnancy test. The goal is to support you so that you don't give up and keep going. Duration: about 50 minutes. Format: online or in person.
-
White Workshop
A workshop where you will receive specialized guidance and support if your treatment requires donated cells, with real testimonials from people who have chosen this path. The goal is for you to feel supported and informed when you make your decision.
Your path is unique. So is your plan.
We design a protocol tailored to you after understanding your story and your previous tests. No generic diagnoses or protocols.
