OUR APPROACH

We understand that everyone's journey is unique. Our approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally competent, designed to support young people facing difficult life circumstances and transitions. We are committed to meeting the individual needs of our community, specifically those from diverse backgrounds who may not have had the same opportunities or head start as others.

We eliminate the barriers to mental health services that are common in Texas:

No insurance required.

Teletherapy available to help with transportation challenges.
