Psychological Evaluation for Embryo Donors

Embryo donation is a remarkable and selfless act, offering hope to those longing to build a family. Because it involves the genetic contributions of both donors, it’s important that all individuals involved are thoughtfully assessed. At Makana Health, we provide comprehensive psychological evaluations to support emotional readiness, informed decision-making, and the well-being of everyone participating in this meaningful journey.

What Sets Us Apart?

To help ensure that every candidate is emotionally prepared and well-qualified to embark on the family planning journey, Makana Health follows a careful and customized evaluation process that includes the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI), a well-established tool for understanding mental health and personality, as well as additional screening tools for depression and anxiety. All comprehensive mental health evaluations and consultations are completed via HIPAA-compliant video conferencing. Our services ensure privacy, accessibility, and personalized care in a secure virtual environment.

Makana Health champions diversity and inclusivity through ongoing expansion of our translation capabilities, making clinical evaluations and consultations accessible for every patient, regardless of language. We honor and embrace all forms of family, affirming each individual’s journey, and we proudly stand as allies to the LGBTQIA+ community.
