Transform Your Practice: Become a Certified TFMR Specialist™ and Support Families Through Their Healing Journey

AS FEATURED IN:

Meet Dr. Erica Rozmid

Hi, I am Dr. Erica Rozmid (aka TFMR Psychologist™), and a leading expert in Termination for Medical Reasons (TFMR) with years of experience helping parents navigate this unimaginable journey.

Prior to experiencing her my own baby loss, I was an Attending Psychologist at UCLA Health and previously trained at Stanford University and NYU Langone Hospital- Child Study Center.

After years of prioritizing my career, I was finally ready to focus on family planning. However, I learned at the anatomy scan that my daughter, Shayla, had a life limiting condition. I made the gut-wrenching decision to terminate my own pregnancy for medical reasons.

Here I was- a psychologist living in progressive Los Angeles…but I still could not find someone to help me. I could not find anyone who specialized in TFMR. Over the years since 2021, I have been on a mission to improve the entire mental health system as it relates to TFMR- from the ultrasound technicians, to the doctors who inform the parents about the news, to the therapists, and everyone in between.

I’ve built this certification to provide you with the same frameworks that transformed my life and practice. I’m on a mission to train compassionate providers like you, so together, we can support more parents in their healing process. When I made the decision to terminate my pregnancy, I was searching for a way to not just survive, but to thrive—and that’s the opportunity this certification offers you and your clients.
