Common Questions

Things You Might Want to Know

It's normal to have questions. Here are answers to some of the most common ones we hear — but if yours isn't listed, just ask.

Yes — completely. Anything you share with us stays between you and your counselor. We won't tell anyone, including family members, unless you explicitly ask us to. Your privacy is sacred to us.

No appointment is necessary — you can walk right in during our business hours. That said, calling ahead can help us ensure we have time set aside just for you.

Absolutely not. We never push any particular choice on anyone. Our role is to give you accurate information, emotional support, and the space to come to your own conclusion — at your own pace.

Yes — our pregnancy confirmation ultrasound is provided at no cost. There are no hidden fees, no required donations, and no strings attached. We want you to have the information you need without worrying about the bill.

If you're a minor, we encourage you to talk to a trusted adult — but we won't tell anyone without your permission. Our counselors can also help you think through whether involving a parent or guardian might be helpful for you.

Your first visit is all about comfort and conversation. You'll meet with a caring counselor who will listen to your situation, answer your questions, and offer an optional ultrasound if you'd like one. There's no rush — take all the time you need.
