Third party reproduction refers to collaborative efforts between intended parents, egg donors, gestational carriers (also called gestational surrogates), fertility clinics, OB/Gyn clinics, sperm donors, sperm banks, and third party fertility agencies to grow families.  Third party reproduction in the United States and around the world has been increasing dramatically over the last five years.  These collaborative efforts offer hope to millions.

Dr. Deborah Simmons has been providing psychological evaluations and psychoeducation for egg donors, gestational carriers, and intended parents for more than 13 years.  She is works closely with fertility clinics, OB/Gyn clinics, and third party reproduction agencies in the Twin Cities and around the country. 

Psychoeducation sessions require a 75 minute appointment for intended parents, gestational carriers and their partners, and egg donors and their partners.  Some third party arrangements require psychological testing.  To schedule with Dr. Simmons, please call us at 763-546-5797 or email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
