Expectant Care
Pregnancy can be both an exciting and frightening time in your life. You have many questions and a lot of decisions to make. You may have the support of your family and friends,
or you may be feeling alone. The time is ripe for you to truly consider what you want out of life, the type of parent you want to be, and what life you want for your child.
You may not know how to discuss this pregnancy with others in your life or be afraid of their reactions. Pregnancy can be a result of trauma or stir up feelings surrounding past traumas; it is important to process such experiences with an experienced therapist. You may have questions regarding obtaining financial assistance for pregnancy expenses. Expectant Care offers counseling, support, and information for all these situations and more, regardless of your final decision regarding parenting your child.
