The ones who were supported had a much easier time.

I am Lesley Glenner.. I have worked with women and couples for years to help them make sense of an Abortion decision. I offer a truly unbiased and judgment-free perspective to help you navigate this important decision with as much support, awareness and care as possible. As a trained clinician I am available as an empathic ear for Your struggles with fear, anxiety, terror, depression, loss of relationship, loss of the life You thought You’d have as you wrestle with this deeply personal and complex issue.
You are not alone.
Many women who are faced with an unplanned pregnancy feel that it is one of the most complicated, difficult and emotionally challenging things they have ever experienced. Abortion is a multi-faceted issue and brings up complex feelings in many categories; emotional, relational, religious, spiritual, financial, biological, generational, etc. The decision to have or not have an abortion asks you to delve deep into our minds and hearts to find truth that is very specific to You and your current life circumstances. While doctors help their clients to deal with the physical aspects of abortion, they are often unprepared to address the emotional pieces of grieving, making sense of a decision, finding peace within, communicating what needs to be said (and what doesn’t) and rebuilding ones life.
You can do this.
Even though this is so hard, it can be an amazing experience for growth and healing. With my help, you can:
- Explore whether an Abortion is a good decision for YOU, not you’re mother, your partner or your church.
- Develop a deep peace with your choice to have this child or not.
- Learn coping skills to facilitate healthy adjustment both physically and emotionally before, during and after your abortion.
- Heal and cultivate your relationship with yourself.
- Increase your self-confidence in your ability to know what’s right for YOU.
- Learn how to integrate this experience in to the great whole of your life and learn from it.
But you may have some concerns about talking to me… You may say…
Nobody can help me, my problem is too nuanced, what good is therapy?
You’re partially right, it is nuanced. Your decision can only be made by you. I can help you to hear your wisest self.
It’s too painful to talk about, I’m afraid to talk about it.
Sometimes talking about it can feel scary or painful initially. However, it’s a little known secret that when we talk about something, when we give it air, its power over us diminishes. It takes emmense bravery to feel our feelings and when we do we are generously rewarded in the form of deep inner peace and integration.
My abortion(s) is my biggest secret, what if someone I know finds out?
Therapy is 100% confidential. No body will know that you’re in therapy or what you’re discussing. You have total control about how much you share and will whom. I am here to provide a safe, respectful space for you to be yourself in.
Lesley specializes in safe, nonjudgmental, agenda-free abortion counseling. Lesley holds the space for you to explore, process and find the answers that are right for YOU.
