If you’re preparing for a surrogacy journey, a mental health evaluation is often a required step for both intended parents and gestational carriers. I provide surrogacy mental health evaluations in Lancaster CA & throughout the state of California, completed virtually and aligned with pre-birth parentage order requirements.

This process is designed to assess emotional readiness, provide education, and support a smooth legal and clinical experience. Whether you’re working with an agency or independently, I offer clear, timely psychological evaluations for surrogacy so you can move forward with confidence.

Why Work With Me

My work centers on women’s mental health, reproductive experiences, and the emotional layers that come with major life transitions.

I understand that surrogacy is not just a process—it’s a significant decision that involves emotional, relational, and practical considerations. My approach is both structured and supportive, ensuring that you meet required guidelines while also feeling comfortable throughout the process.

If you’re looking for ongoing support beyond the evaluation, I also offer therapy for postpartum mental health and hormonal mood-related concerns, where we explore how stress, the body, and emotional patterns interact over time.

What This Is Not

This evaluation is not ongoing therapy or long-term emotional support.

If you’re needing continued care, you can explore my therapy services for postpartum transitions or cycle-related emotional changes.

🌿 What to Expect During the Evaluation

The evaluation process is structured but conversational and typically includes:

  • A discussion of emotional readiness and motivations

  • Exploration of expectations, concerns, and boundaries

  • Review of support systems

  • Understanding of legal and medical considerations

  • Space to ask questions about the surrogacy process

This is not a judgment-based process—it’s designed to support clarity, preparedness, and informed decision-making.

🌿 Timeline & Documentation

Evaluations are typically completed within 1-2 weeks after your consultation.

A written report or letter will be provided for your attorney, agency, or court, depending on your needs.
