The Center Counseling

The mental health crisis is bigger than any one profession can solve alone.
What if the future of therapy isn't working in isolation—but building stronger partnerships with the communities people already trust?

Join us for "The Presence and Practice of Collaborative Psychotherapy: Applications of Beyond the Clinical Hour" with Dr. James Sells as we explore how clinicians can work alongside churches and other social institutions to expand access to care without compromising clinical excellence.

✔ The changing landscape of mental health care
✔ The growing role of collaborative care models
✔ Practical strategies for therapists looking to broaden their impact

Last day of May. First step of care.

The awareness posts slow.

But somewhere in North Texas, a neighbor is one conversation away from getting help.

The Center's counselors will be back at their partner sites on Monday. Showing up, the way they always do.

If you've been meaning to give, today is the day.

Mental health awareness is everywhere. So why does the crisis continue to deepen?

May is 31 days. Our counselors show up 365.

Mental Health Awareness Month matters.

But when June comes, The Center's counselors will still be in their partner organizations. Still showing up. Still building the relationships that open doors to healing.

Your gift keeps them there all year.

He stopped the rehearsal because he was "getting too sad walking in these shoes."

Drake Thomas was leading children in a Bible story presentation at a summer camp when a boy stopped everything.

The character he was playing got abandoned by the people closest to him. It was too close to his own story.

That moment became a live group conversation about self-regulation, empathy, and what it feels like when emotions get too big.

"Watching this young man empathize, then practice his own regulation, was truly impactful to me." — Drake Thomas, LPC-Associate

55+ years of showing up. Not as a trend — as a tradition.

Since 1968, The Center has been the answer to this community's mental health needs. Quietly. Consistently.

Your gift sustains that tradition.
