Austin Child Guidance Center Information

In 1951, Austin Child Guidance Center (ACGC) became Travis County’s first nonprofit organization solely dedicated to children’s mental health. The mission is to provide accessible, high-quality mental health services to children and their families to empower them to thrive in childhood and beyond. ACGC’s services are integrated and individualized to meet each client’s needs. A multidisciplinary team of a psychiatrist, psychologists, social workers, counselors, and family therapists supports clients through individual, family, and group therapy; psychological assessments; psychiatric evaluations; and parent education. Presentations and consultation are offered to a variety of collaborations, partners, and individuals throughout the community, in addition to training for graduate student interns from mental health disciplines every year.
