Marriage counselor req, specializing in family planning issues

Can anyone recommend a marriage counselor (in the greater Seattle area) who specializes in family planning issues?

ETA: oops! apparently fertility is meant for people who aren't pregnant and want to be pregnant. I asked my friend to ask her therapist for a rec and I started telling her that I wanted to see someone for "fertility issues"  and she was so confused, given what she knows about me. And, so I said "yeah, I'm fertile and I wish not to be?" Apparently I should be asking for someone who can deal with marital/family planning issues. Embarrassed

    We're not getting a divorce... yet. Devil

    I think I may have found a good combo for permanent bc and I want us to go talk to a counselor before I do anything permanent. I really want to make sure that we're on the same page with all of this and that we're both 100% on board. 

  • yikes.. i'm sorry uw.

    but if you both are serious about it, why the need for intervention? or a 3rd party? you just want them to confirm you're serious?

  • No need to be sorry guys! Seriously, nothing is wrong between me and H right now. Big Smile I was completely kidding about the divorce joke. Embarrassed

    Yes, we're both sure that we don't want kids, but I want to make sure that we're both considering every since angle and detail before I move forward with something permanent... since I can't undo it. I figured that a counselor is more of an expert in dealing with this and may think of things that we haven't.

  • Maybe call the women's health center at UW Medical and ask them for recommendations? I don't know any personally, though.

    And I think you're idea is just SUPER smart! Yes, you both think you're on the same page, but way to think ahead to forestall any potential pitfalls!

    This is a good idea too. 

    I got one name, from my friend's therapist, and I was going to ask my gno for recs, but I want to interview a few people before I decide on someone.

    Thanks!
