Approach to Care
Throughout our website materials, you will see us speak of having an “integrated approach to care.” What does this mean?
Do you have questions like these?
Do I fit in my church community as a single person?
Will I ever get pregnant?
Is this what God intended for my life?
Does this ever stop hurting? Will I always feel this broken?
Does God still love me? Do I love myself?
I am under 18 and scared. How do I navigate this alone?
There are periods of our lives in which we may need additional support, and the LPC specializes in supporting people during many different stages of their relational and reproductive journeys. We offer support for pregnancy, reproductive loss, relationships, infertility, abortion, and more. We feel strongly that, in caring for people in these important areas, an integrated approach to care, which includes physical, spiritual, and emotional care, is paramount.
In our experience, most of the resources people turn to for reproductive or relational support address only one aspect of the three types of care a person needs. There are resources for people to turn to when in need of support physically through an experience like reproductive loss, like a doctor’s office, clinic, or hospital. Spiritual support can be sought through one’s church community, family or friends, or a religious representative such as a priest or pastor. Therapy and support groups are available to help people examine and process their emotions around these issues. At the LPC, we can provide all of these services at once. Our trained Care Coaches and on-staff nurse can address the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of a client.
In our experience, most of the resource people turn to for reproductive or relational support address only one aspect of the three types of care a person needs.
Our services run the spectrum of issues related to reproductive health and relationships, and we are able to give general health information, a nurse consultation if needed, and counsel people through areas like fertility, relationship issues, singleness, parenting and co-parenting, and more. While Care Coaches are not licensed counselors, they have been trained in trauma-informed care and counseling skills, alongside a faith-based curriculum of care. We can talk to you about what is happening in your body, your mind, and your heart.

Here are some examples of areas in which you may benefit from an integrated approach to care:
-You are struggling with your feelings after an abortion, unsure how to reconcile this experience with your faith, and wondering how this will affect your relationship with your partner.
-You have been unsuccessful so far at becoming pregnant, and are wondering if this is God’s plan for you, and how you feel about that idea.
-You have not found a romantic partner and struggle with how to respond to friends’ and family’s pressure to meet someone, while also questioning your purpose and place within your church community.
-You are pregnant, unmarried, and a Christian and unsure how to move forward with God, your faith, and your church.
As you can see in these examples, the issues around relationships and reproduction can be complicated and difficult to navigate, and you don’t have to navigate them alone. Our Care Coaches would be honored to walk alongside you for as long as you need.
