Services Offered
Play Therapy and Child Counseling
We service ages 3+ and incorporate play and other age-appropriate activities. Play therapy and/or child counseling services are available at all of our locations and are covered by all commercial insurances and Medicaids. These strategies are especially useful in working with those who have experienced trauma, younger children, teens or adults with delays, individuals who may be shy to open up, and a variety of other scenarios.
Individual and Couples Therapy
We have the fit for you regardless of whether you are seeking services for just yourself or hope to work with your entire family, significant other, spouse, domestic partner, or other arrangement. Many individuals wish to incorporate their support network into services or have us collaborate with outside providers - all of which we can accommodate to best serve you. We recognize that each individual is unique and believe services should be too!
School-based Support and Counseling
We are a proud partner of Fort Worth ISD and are honored to offer on-site services at their Family Resource Centers, as well as the FWISD School, the International Newcomers Academy. Even if you are not a student of FWISD, we can provide school notes to show participation in services and / or have you sign a release of information so we can best help with accommodations or recommendations for your success at home and school.

Services Offered To: Adults Couples Teens Children
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
