Austin Clinical Therapists

Our Austin therapists provide therapy for families, children, couples, and individuals. We also offer parenting workshops and groups for individuals seeking community and support.

We are a unique group of local therapists who will not only help you feel connected and cared for but also provide you with guidance and expertise that will give you what you need to restore hope and connection in your life and relationships.

AFC is private pay; you pay out of pocket for all services we provide.  If you have insurance, they will not pay us directly for services but you may be able to seek out of network reimbursement for some costs depending on your insurance policy.  Click here for more information.
