Meet Tonya Wood
Hi. I’m Dr. Tonya Wood, a licensed psychologist (PSY18927) with more than 20 years of experience. I specialize in infertility, IVF-related emotional support, and reproductive trauma. After completing my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Virginia, I have dedicated my practice to working with individuals and couples experiencing infertility, pregnancy loss, and/or considering third-party reproductive assistance alongside other life changes. I am also the Director of Clinical Training in the Graduate School of Education and Psychology at Pepperdine University and have delivered extensive lectures, training, and supervision on topics such as trauma-informed care, cultural diversity, clinical supervision, and infertility. In addition to my clinical practice, I’m currently a member of the Mental Health Professional Group of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine and have served as a Past-President of the California Psychological Association.
Being a firm believer in the role of mind-body healing in the fertility process, I not only utilize psychological interventions with my clients to manage stress and anxiety, but also encourage the use of adjunctive treatments such as yoga, acupuncture, and meditation to help clients achieve optimal physical and emotional health.
