Online Therapy for Single Mothers by Choice
A Single Mother By Choice, often referred to as a “Choice Mom”, is a person who decides to pursue parenthood on their own terms using IUI, IVF, surrogacy or adoption.
Let’s talk . . .
Are you ready to flip the script on Motherhood?
Maybe you never thought in a million years you’d consider having a child on your own. Maybe you secretly had this story in mind all along! Here you are – hopeful, overwhelmed, unsure, terrified as you imagine what your life might look and feel like as a Single Mother by Choice.
You wonder, “Am I crazy?”, “Do I have what it takes?”, “Will I have the support I need?” There are so many questions to answer, so many details to consider. It’s probably feeling like too much to navigate on your own.
The good news? You don’t have to do it alone.
Hello, I’m Sige.

I’m here to help you wrestle with your big feelings, ask you the hard questions and offer the honest feedback you’ll need to get started on the right foot.

You might be wondering, “What does it actually look like to become a mom on my own?”
I spoke with Katie Bryan from The Single Greatest Choice Podcast about how to build a strong support system before and during solo motherhood. Here, we discuss what it takes to raise a child without a partner, not by doing it all alone, but by choosing interdependence, community, and creativity.
