We are professional counselors across Texas who accompany women in crisis pregnancies. We believe that every woman should be received in love and joy, and have the support she needs especially during pregnancy and into postpartum care.

Counselors on the Elizabeth Team are committed to providing discounted or free to low cost counseling services to women who are in a crisis pregnancy. We want to ensure expectant mothers have access to counseling support in their time of greatest need.
If you are unsure of your next steps, lack resources, and need someone to talk to for support, we are here for you.

We are inspired by Elizabeth in the Bible, who welcomed Mary while exclaiming, “Blessed is the fruit of your womb!” (Luke 1:42). Elizabeth then accompanied Mary—the Blessed Mother—during her pregnancy.
Counselors on the Elizabeth Team share in this example by welcoming a mother in a crisis pregnancy and recognizing the privilege of journeying with her in a meaningful and professional way.
