A genetic counselor is a healthcare professional with special training in both medical genetics and counseling. We’re here to take complex science and make it clear, practical, and meaningful for you. Genetic counseling is the process of helping you understand how your genes may affect your health, what testing options are available, and how results could impact you and your family.

People seek genetic counseling for various reasons, such as: - Planning for pregnancy and family planning options - Reviewing past genetic test results (like 23andMe or other direct-to-consumer tests) - Understanding a personal or family history of cancer - Learning about genetic conditions that may run in the family - Exploring how genes may affect medication response (pharmacogenomics)
