Ensuring Emotional Readiness 

Sperm donation is a meaningful decision that involves important emotional and psychological considerations. Our evaluations help confirm that this path aligns with your personal values, aspirations, and overall mental well-being.


Identifying Potential Challenges 

Through our thorough assessment process, we identify any potential psychological contraindications, ensuring that you are fully prepared for the responsibilities and challenges that come with sperm donation.


Supporting Your Journey

Our evaluations are not just about screening; they are about empowering you with the insights and coping mechanisms needed to navigate this journey with confidence and peace of mind.

Fees For Sperm Donor Evaluation & PAI Testing

At Ebb & Flow Counseling + Coaching, we believe in transparency and fairness when it comes to fees. Our Sperm Donor Evaluations are self-pay only and not eligible for out of network insurance benefits as a mental health diagnosis will not be provided or treated.

 

Evaluations for sperm donors include the clinical interview, test administration, and scoring/interpretation. You will also need to attend a group session with your intended parents led by one of our licensed psychologists. The psychologist will follow ASRM guidelines and lead the discussion to ensure all parties are in agreement on important topics and comfortable moving forward:

Fees include the clinical interview, test administration, scoring/interpretation, and report writing. Please note that all fees are self-pay and must be paid at the time of service via Venmo, Credit Card, or FSA/HSA card.
