Capital Area Counseling provides affordable, sliding-scale therapy for individuals, couples, families, children, and groups across Austin and throughout Texas. As a nonprofit counseling center, our focus is simple: making high-quality mental health care accessible, respectful, and human.
Whether you’re navigating stress, relationships, family challenges, or major life transitions, you’ll find support here that fits real life — without hidden costs or pressure.
Access to mental health care shouldn’t feel out of reach. At Capital Area Counseling, services are offered on a sliding-scale fee structure based on income, helping remove financial barriers that often prevent people from getting the support they need.
As a nonprofit organization, our priority is people, not profit. Insurance is not required, and care is never denied due to inability to pay. We also offer flexible scheduling and telehealth options to make therapy easier to fit into your daily life.
Everyone’s situation is different, and therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Capital Area Counseling offers a range of services designed to meet you where you are and support what you’re navigating right now.
