The Houston and Clear Lake Counseling Centers provide counseling and testing to children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric clients. Services include Individual, marital, family, and chemical dependency counseling. Psychological personality and intelligence testing and attention deficit (ADHD) testing is offered. Business, academic and ADHD coaching is also available.
The Counseling Centers have two offices – one serving the Greater Houston Metropolitan Area and another serving the Clear Lake Bay Area.
Each mental health provider housed in the Centers maintains an individual private practice. Each associate believes anyone in need of mental health care will be served; therefore, some providers offer a scheduled fee payment (sliding scale).
