The Emotional Side of Building a Family with Lisa Schuman, LCSW
Tuesday, 6 January, 2026
In this powerful episode of Friends with Fertility, we’re joined by Lisa Schuman, LCSW—one of the most respected mental health professionals in reproductive medicine. With over 25 years of experience working inside world-renowned fertility clinics, Lisa has been at the forefront of advancing ethical, inclusive, and emotionally supportive family-building care. As Director of Mental Health Services at Illume Fertility and Gay Parents to Be, Lisa played a pivotal role in launching an embryo donation program and developing the first open donor program within a fertility clinic on the East Coast. Her advocacy extends far beyond the clinic walls—she is the only therapist ever invited to testify before the New York State Senate Judiciary Committee in support of legalizing compensated surrogacy. In our conversation, Lisa shares what patients really need emotionally when navigating donor conception, surrogacy, and assisted reproduction—and why informed consent, transparency, and support are non-negotiable. We also discuss her work as the host of the Building Your Family podcast, her book Building Your Family: The Complete Guide to Donor Conception, and the Building Your Family Community—the only expert-led online education and support space designed specifically for people using reproductive medicine to build their families. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating fertility treatments, donor conception, or surrogacy—and for professionals who want to understand the emotional realities behind the medical process.
