Surrogate Partner Therapy Is Not Gestational Surrogacy

Surrogacy
A couple walks and talks through a neighborhood park in autumn.

“Surrogate partner therapy” is a term used in some sex-therapy contexts. It is not gestational surrogacy, egg donation, fertility treatment, or a Patriot Conceptions service.

A historical article should not make categorical claims about whether this practice is legal, regulated, clinically indicated, covered by insurance, or priced a certain way. Those questions depend on location, professional licensing, the proposed service, and current provider and payer rules.

Anyone seeking help with sexual health, intimacy, or trauma should start with a properly licensed healthcare or mental-health professional who can assess the individual's needs, explain evidence and alternatives, and provide an appropriate referral. Verify a professional's license and scope directly with the relevant licensing authority and insurer.

Patriot Conceptions is a surrogacy and egg-donation agency. We do not provide surrogate partner therapy, sex therapy, psychotherapy, or medical treatment.
