PATIENT SERVICES

Advice & Counseling

We offer a private, safe, and nonjudgmental environment where you can share your feelings both before and after an abortion.

Support With Making A Decision

Each patient is seen by a team member during an abortion visit, and they also assist those who need further assistance or resources following their ACS visit. The services offered are gender-positive, trauma-informed, LGBTQIA-affirming, and individualized to meet each patient's needs. The team offering counseling services is here to provide a neutral and encouraging setting for you to explore your feelings regarding your situation.

Pregnancy Options Counseling

For some people, the thought of having an abortion might be emotionally draining. Most people confronting this choice are attempting to figure out how to make the best choice for themselves in challenging circumstances. Discuss concerns about your options and work through some exercises to assist you in making your own decision about your pregnancy. Click here for more information.

Post-Abortion Counseling
Following an abortion, each person will feel a variety of emotions and respond to the situation in a variety of ways. While many people don't feel the need to discuss after an abortion, for some it can be helpful to express their feelings after treatment.

There is no right or wrong way to feel about any experience with pregnancy or abortion, even if the majority of those who have them describe sensations of relief. Finding a friend who won't judge you in order to talk about your thoughts might be challenging in a culture that makes individuals feel guilty and shameful for choosing abortion. This sort of counseling may be appropriate for you if you want time to analyze and work through your experience with and feelings related to your abortion or pregnancy or if you're looking for further assistance. People who have undergone abortions are eligible for this brief counseling program.

Abortion Information-Only Consultation
Abortion is a topic on which there is a lot of false information. Abortion information-only consultations give you time to think about your options, provide reliable medical information, and put you in touch with supportive, empowering, and choice-affirming services. This service's goal is to equip you with the knowledge you need to decide for yourself whether or not abortion is the best course of action, not to influence you in any specific manner. Only you have the power to decide whether to continue your pregnancy or terminate it.

Gender-Affirming Care
Please get in touch with our office if you support from a licensed clinician for a medical transition. We can point you in the direction of mental health practitioners as well as providers of gender-affirming hormone therapy at ACS.

Contraceptive Counseling
Contraceptive counseling services are provided. With the help of an expert, you can use this service to explore your contraceptive options and determine which methods of birth control would be the most suitable for you given your health history and your preferences.

Patient Support Services
Everybody needs a little additional help occasionally. We are here to help if you require or desire extra resources or services. We will consult with you to find local options that meet your needs.

Be mindful of misleading organizations

Please be careful when seeking advice. Certain organizations that offer free pregnancy tests and assistance for unwanted pregnancies are vehemently opposed to abortion.

They frequently make an effort to deceive the public by posing as an organization that offers unbiased information about abortion and alternative options. Some of these "support" services prioritize spreading the opinions of an organization over assisting you with your own circumstances.

They won't provide you with an objective discussion of all your options. If they discuss abortion at all, it may feature unfavorable, uncomfortable, unsupported, or false assertions and information.

Our experienced staff is prepared to help you.

Our service is recognized for the high standard of care provided by our highly skilled, compassionate, and nonjudgmental team.
