Mental and Spiritual Care

We are connected with many local ministries that provide mental and spiritual support for patients and couples carrying the cross of burdensome disease, infertility, and recurrent miscarriage.

  • If your family has experienced the death of a child—whether in early pregnancy, infancy, childhood, adolescence, or adulthood, including suicide loss—you deserve compassionate, faith-rooted support that meets you right where you are. Our partnership model exists so that local communities can offer you:

    Support for grieving parents
    Gentle, trauma-informed, spiritually grounded accompaniment that honors your child and tends to your heart, your marriage, and your individual path through grief.

    Sibling support for ages 2–18
    Children and teens grieve deeply, often silently. Through our Soaring Together program and the Red Bird App, your surviving children can receive age-appropriate support, expressive activities, coping tools, and emotional guidance—helping them feel seen, understood, and not alone.

    Accessible help when you need it most
    The Red Bird App offers resources for the whole family—comfort calls, spiritual direction, grief exercises, guided prayer, journal tools, sibling modules, and more—so you can receive support anytime, anywhere.

    Retreats, workshops, and parish-based groups
    Safe spaces to breathe, be understood, meet other families of loss, and reconnect with hope—at a pace that honors your heart and your story.

    Our desire is simple: to make sure your family never has to wait for support.
    Through meaningful partnerships, we can expand our capacity to accompany more families like yours, ensuring that grief is met with compassion, not isolation.

    Wherever you are in your grief, please know this: you and your children are seen, known, and deeply loved. We are here to walk with you—every step, every season, every tear, every glimmer of hope.

  • Professional Counseling Services

    1. Individual Pregnancy Counseling
      We offer professional counseling that covers a wide range of pregnancy related issues. Whether you are currently pregnant, have been pregnant in the past, or are struggling with a decision someone else has made, our counselors are trained to walk with you through this difficult time.

    2. Adoption Awareness Counseling
      All of our staff members are trained adoption facilitators. We can offer answers to many of your adoption questions. Adoption has become a viable choice for women in unplanned pregnancies. Did you know that you can choose the family to make an adoption plan with? You can even choose whether to have an open or closed adoption. If you are interested, we can help match you with a local adoption agency that is right for you.

    3. Family or Couple Counseling
      We can provide couples counseling and family counseling as needed.

    4. Miscarriage Counseling
      Losing a child through miscarriage is a profound and very personal loss. Sometimes referred to as a silent grief, dealing with a miscarriage can be an isolating experience. It can be difficult for others to understand what you are going through. It is not just the loss of a baby, but the loss of your baby. Counselors at Woman’s New Life Clinic understand that each person manages grief in her own way. We take our time working with women through the grieving process. We offer individual counseling designed to meet your needs, available when you need it.

    5. Stillbirth Counseling
      This profound loss leaves one feeling devastated, confused, and sometimes alone. Who can understand your grief of having just lost your child? Counselors at Woman’s New Life Clinic seek to understand your personal grief and work with you through the grieving process. Some parents may take a while to reach out for support. Some may want support right away. When you are ready, we are here.
