When you’re facing an unexpected pregnancy, making an appointment somewhere new can feel like a big step. You may wonder what the experience will be like, whether you’ll feel comfortable asking questions, or whether anyone will pressure you toward a particular decision.
At Avenue Women’s Center, our goal is to provide a private, respectful place where you can slow down, get information, ask questions, and feel heard.
But you don’t have to take our word for it. Here are some recent comments women have shared with us about their experiences at Avenue.
A Place to Feel Heard
Sometimes, simply having someone listen can make an overwhelming situation feel a little more manageable.
One woman shared:
“I feel so heard & comfortable here. Thank you guys for everything <3”
Another woman told us:
“Both of the women as well as the one I spoke to on the phone were VERY supportive, I feel like they were actively listening to me!”
For another woman, having time to talk through her situation helped change how she felt:
“I like that Meredith explained all of my choices. I felt overwhelm coming here & now I feel a lot better.”
You don’t need to have everything figured out before making an appointment. You can come with questions, uncertainty, or simply a desire to understand your situation better.
Respect Without Pressure
Your pregnancy situation is personal. Our team is here to provide information and a space to process—not to pressure you into a particular pregnancy decision.
One Spanish-speaking woman described her experience this way:
“Respeta nuestra decisión. Y nos informa de todos los recursos que podemos tener.”
“They respect our decision and inform us of all the resources available to us.”
Another woman appreciated having the space to consider her options without pressure:
“Very supportive and good guidance. I appreciate that they let you choose what you want and don’t push nothing on you.”
Another shared:
“How kind and helpful everyone is and how I did not feel any judgement from my responses.”
Whatever questions you have or options you’re considering, you deserve an environment where you can speak openly and receive clear information without feeling judged or rushed.
“Me Sentí Cómoda, Respetada y Escuchada”
Avenue Women’s Center serves both English- and Spanish-speaking women, and some of our recent Spanish feedback captures exactly what we hope each person experiences.
“Me sentí cómoda, respetada, escuchada, y la atención fue muy profesional.”
“I felt comfortable, respected, and heard, and the service was very professional.”
Another woman said:
“Fueron muy amables, claras y profesionales, me hicieron sentir segura y cómoda.”
“They were very kind, clear, and professional. They made me feel safe and comfortable.”
And sometimes the simplest comments say a lot:
“Muy atentas y amables.”
“Very attentive and kind.”
If Spanish is the language you’re most comfortable speaking, Spanish-speaking services are available at Avenue. When you contact us, let us know your language preference so we can help connect you with the appropriate team.
A Calm First Step
For some women, feeling supported begins before they even arrive.
One woman told us:
“They were so calm & supportive on the phone which helped me make the appt.”
Others described their experiences as:
“Very patient and informative.”
“Making me feel completely comfortable! 😊”
“Very caring, patient and kind and informative!”
And one woman summed up her experience this way:
“I think Avenue exceeded my expectations, what you guys do here is amazing and so important.”
