Our Mission is to Provide Mental Health Treatment for Children

Child Mental Health Services

We provide a variety of mental health services to support children and their families all across Central Texas. They include Individual and Family Therapy, Group Therapy, Psychological Assessments, and Community Workshops. Our clinical services are offered in English and Spanish and provided both in-person and via tele-therapy.

As of August 2025, we have open appointments for Individual & Family Therapy services. We are also accepting new Psychological Assessment Referrals from physicians. 

We Offer a Sliding Scale

Here at ACGC, we don’t want the cost of treatment to be a barrier to mental health care or add to the stress of families seeking care.  As part of our effort to serve all families, especially those with financial needs, ACGC offers a sliding fee scale. We consider circumstances such as household income and family size and regular/standard living expenses to calculate the percentage of service fees qualified clients will be responsible for paying.

Who We Are and How We Work

Our clinical staff of licensed therapists, social workers, and psychologists are dedicated to providing high quality, evidence-based treatment to your child and family regardless of ability to pay. Our therapists work with each family to help determine your goals and develop a treatment plan. Together, we identify your desired changes, ways to achieve those changes, and set goals.

Individual & Family Therapy

Individual & Family therapy helps family members better understand each other, support one another and work through difficult situations. With your therapist, we will work together to support both you and your child. We also provide group therapy in Austin to provide additional counseling and support for families. Free caregiver workshops are available as a resource as well.  

Psychological Assessments

Psychological Assessments help gain a better understanding of your child's mental health. In addition to helping parents and professionals better understand your child, psychological assessments are used to diagnose ADHD, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, depression, anxiety, and other emotional and behavioral difficulties.

Special Programming - Free Therapy Services

We offer special programing and FREE services to help children and families who need our services access the care they need and deserve. Learn more about what is available for those who need it most, including crime victims and families in the Rundberg area of Austin.

For families impacted by the July Fourth floods, we are currently offering one to two FREE therapy sessions. Our trauma-informed, trained therapists are here to help children process trauma, reduce anxiety, and begin to heal. Call 512-451-2242 today and mention "flood impact" to get access to our services. 

Infant & Early Childhood Project

The Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Project is a program funded by Travis County and the City of Austin that aims to positively influence the mental health of children in local early childhood education centers. ACGC’s mental health professionals provide classroom assessment and observation, one-on-one teacher consultation and coaching, parent, caregiver, and guardian consultation, workshops and training, and more. 

Community Workshops

Led by ACGC staff, we have a variety of workshops for caregivers, teachers, nonprofit organizations, youth-serving agencies, corporate partners, and members of our community who are interested in learning more about mental health. Workshops are offered in English and Spanish.

Our community partners help children thrive.
