$40,000 Goal
The mental health response to the pandemic, school shootings and more: This in a pivotal time in our history. The toll of the MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS will take years to calculate. Every dollar given now goes toward making mental health care accessible and will impact future generations.
Our clinicians have been first responders offering compassionate, professional, quality in-person and tele-counseling therapy to children, teens and adults. The silver lining is that throughout the pandemic, people have recognized the need to support mental health and wellbeing. Mental health is a critical part of physical health.
Founded in 1968, The Center has been a leader in the mental health landscape and is one of the longest-standing counseling centers in Texas. We go the extra mile to accept private insurance, Medicare and Medicaid. Mental health insurance parity and advocacy is another segment of our work.
Spanning five counties, we have 30+ locations in North and Central Texas - from McKinney to Waco and Garland to Arlington - including our main Central Office, a network of offices in churches, nonprofits and physician offices.
The hardest thing anyone can do is ask for help, especially in underserved communities.
In 2014 The Center established PACT (Partnerships for Accessible Counseling and Training) program. This outstanding innovative program teams up with established nonprofits whose clients would not have access to mental health care. It is the ONLY PROGRAM of its type. PACT is 100% supported by individuals, foundations and organizations.
PACT makes professional counseling and psychological assessments accessible to all. Families living in poverty face invisible barriers to receiving life-saving counseling – such as language, geography, transportation, finances, and social stigma. It’s a brutal cycle. Mental illness prevents families from finding stability and ending the cycle of poverty and children from reaching their potential in school. Our mental health services help clients being served at our PACT partner locations develop transformational skills that has a generational impact – serving children, teens, families, and adults.
By collaborating with established nonprofits, counseling is provided onsite in a safe and comfortable environment, where people already receive services such as food, clothing and after-school care. We complement the work of these nonprofits by addressing an unmet need.
Current PACT Partners include:
• Wesley Rankin Community Center
• Interfaith Family Services
• Brother Bill’s Helping Hand
• Mission Oak Cliff
• Buckner’s Family Hope Centers in South Dallas, West Dallas and the Bachman Lake area
• The Salvation Army’s Pleasant Grove Corps Community Center
• West Dallas Community School
• Cornerstone Crossroads Academy
We provide care for trauma related issues, anxiety, depression, and behavior related issues that can affect success in school. We also provide screenings, counseling, and trainings to our PACT partners.
Mental health is the crisis of our time. Now, more than ever, we must remove the stigma to receiving mental health care and barriers that prevent people from getting the care they need. Mental health impacts one's ability to work, go to school and have healthy relationships, and grieve loss.
The Center for Integrative Counseling and Psychology (The Center) has been a leader, provider and mental health educator for more than 50 years, helping people in crisis and relational turmoil regain order and hope in their lives - from trauma, marital conflict, sexual abuse, children struggling at school, addiction, suicide, to loss.
We've humanized mental health conversations. From shame and misrepresentation, we've come a long way to rewrite stories of suicide, depression and anxiety, trauma, and shame.
The Center provides counseling where people live, work, play, and pray, making mental health care accessible is at the core of our mission. In 2021, we provided 27,000+ counseling sessions via tele-counseling and in-person.
The collective impact of our work is unlike any mental health organization in North and Central Texas.
OUR MISSION is to provide accessible high-quality counseling, training, psychological evaluations, and educational testing that equip our clients to grow through life's changes and challenges. Our vision is that people across communities can be self-aware, mindful and resilient to reach the potential of who they were created to be. By giving people tools for better mental health, we are breaking bad patterns of relating and creating generational impact.
