About the Community Counseling Program

Access to counseling services, especially for the underinsured and uninsured, is important to us. We are a historically trusted resource for counseling services in Denton, and the north Texas region. This program allows us to leverage that history to offer counseling services to kids and adults in Denton, Texas. We offer a space that is friendly and welcoming and our therapists provide play therapy for children under ten, talk therapy for kids over ten and adults. We also offer the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths assessment to community-based foster families, upon request. The CANS assessment is a comprehensive, trauma-informed behavioral health evaluation and communication tool. It is designed to help youth, caregivers, and service professionals collaborate and utilize a person’s strengths to drive service planning, placement, and treatment decisions.

The Community Counseling Program services for Denton Residents are funded through a grant from the City of Denton.
