Available treatment options include individual counseling, family therapy, Supportive Outpatient Program (SOP),Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and Aftercare. We also offer services to educate and support the loved ones of the dependent person.
Alcohol and Drug Evaluations - Do you wonder if you have a problem with alcohol or drugs? Do you wonder if your relationship to substances is normal? Do you know your use is excessive, but don't know what level of treatment you need to be free again? Do you wonder if there is an underlying disorder such as depression or anxiety that you are masking with your use? A professionally conducted evaluation can answer those and other questions about your alcohol or drug use.
Divorce Sanity - Divorce is perhaps one of the most emotionally challenging experiences one can face. We offer a number of services for divorced or divorcing individuals. Divorce Sanity Co-Parenting is a four (4) hour educational workshop. It is designed to provide parents with the information and skills needed to minimize the impact of divorce on their children and maximize their parenting skills in their life long parenting relationship.
Fees and Payment
Most insurance companies now maintain a list of therapists that they have approved to provide services for the people they insure. CCD usually has at least one (and sometimes several) therapists on each insurance company's provider panel. If you open our therapist page before you call, you can easily cross-reference the two lists while you are on the phone. If you are unable to find an appropriate therapist within a reasonable distance who can see you in a reasonable amount of time, you should talk to your insurance company about your options. CCD also has sliding scale fees for eligible clients, which you should consider if faced with a high "out of network" co-pay, or an hour drive to an available "in network" therapist.
Services Offered To: Adults Couples Teens Children
Special Groups: Bilingual
Payment: Sliding Scale Pro-bono Medicare Medicaid

One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
Qualifying for assistance from Texas' program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Texas' program.
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.
