Facing an Unplanned Pregnancy: You Are Not Alone
Finding out that you are pregnant—and it was not a part of your plan—can lead to a flood of emotions: fear, anxiety, sadness, anger, confusion, even joy. Our psychologists and therapists recognize the unique, deeply personal journey each client experiences. Whether you are uncertain about your next steps, worried about the future, or just need someone to listen, we are here for you in Edmonton and St. Albert.
Many people wonder:
- How do I make the right decision for myself?
- Can I talk to someone who won’t judge me?
- What resources or options are available locally?
- How will this affect my partner, my family, my future?
We help you explore these questions and more with honesty and compassion.
Your Confidential Counseling Options
Unplanned pregnancy counseling at Wholesome Psychology is completely confidential and nonjudgmental. We recognize that every client comes from their own unique background—cultural, spiritual, and personal beliefs all matter. Our therapists will listen to your story and guide you through all available choices without any outside agenda.
- Individual Support: Talk openly about your feelings, worries, and hopes. Your space is sacred here.
- Couples Counseling: Navigate difficult conversations with a partner, whether together or separately, with guidance from a neutral professional.
- Resource Navigation: Get connected to community, medical, or financial resources in Edmonton or St. Albert tailored to your needs.
How Our Therapists Can Help
The journey of unplanned pregnancy asks you to make important, sometimes life-changing decisions. We meet you where you are, supporting you with up-to-date information and emotional tools that align with your own values, not ours.
- Processing Emotions: Feelings of shame, guilt, or grief are common and natural. We offer a safe environment for you to process and integrate these emotions.
- Clarifying Choices: Whether you are considering parenting, adoption, or abortion, our therapists will talk you through each option and respect your autonomy throughout.
- Building Support: We help you identify your personal strengths and external resources—whether in your community, online, or at home.
