Options counseling is a free service offered at Life Choices Pregnancy Center by trained peer counselors. In the safety of the counseling session a woman is able to share her fears, her uncertainties, and her hopes regarding her pregnancy. The counselor has the opportunity to listen, understand, and point the woman to the possibility of preserving the life within her while educating her about all of her options.
When a woman is faced with an unplanned pregnancy, she has three legal options: to parent, to choose adoption, or to abort. The final decision is ultimately the woman’s. While respecting the woman’s self determination every step of the way, we offer the truth about each option available to her through education.
A counselor is able to encourage the client to think realistically about her situation while offering empathy and support. It is our hope that each woman leaves Life Choices Pregnancy Center believing that continuing her pregnancy is the option she has the strength and support to choose.
