Find an Infertility or Adoption Therapist in Alberta

Infertility and adoption therapy supports individuals and couples navigating the emotional and relational impact of fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, or adoption journeys. These experiences often bring feelings of grief, guilt, frustration, or uncertainty. At ShiftGrit, we provide structured, compassionate support that helps you process complex emotions, rebuild hope, and create meaning during what can be an unpredictable time.

Our therapy model combines structure, education, and emotional regulation. Using Pattern Theory™, we identify beliefs and emotional loops that can make these experiences more painful — such as “I’m failing” or “I don’t deserve this.” Through Reconditioning, we help retrain your brain’s threat response, reducing stress and emotional overwhelm while fostering resilience, self-trust, and acceptance no matter what path your journey takes.
