Dr. Christina Celeste Rush is a compassionate psychologist dedicated to guiding individuals through the emotional complexities encountered in the journey of family creation. Many people naturally envision children as part of their future; however, for some, obstacles such as infertility, the absence of a partner, pregnancy loss, early births, or health issues like cancer can lead to profound sadness and distress. Dr. Rush’s practice specializes in addressing these difficult experiences, helping clients navigate the hardships and encouraging them to make value-driven decisions about their futures. Her objective is to aid clients in processing experiences of infertility and loss, finding effective coping strategies for grief in a society that often prioritizes parenting. She also facilitates third-party consultations, including recipient-parent meetings and assessments for donors and gestational carriers. With a PhD in psychology and a personal journey through fertility challenges, early births, and pregnancy loss, Dr. Rush brings both expertise and empathy, enabling clients to engage in meaningful conversations without needing to explain the nuances of fertility struggles. In her sessions, she utilizes a variety of approaches such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ensuring a comprehensive, strength-based, and trauma-informed environment for individuals and couples seeking support.
