Getting Started
To request mental health services at ACGC, please call ACGC at 512-451-2242.
During your call, the Intake Specialist will gather the necessary information to determine if ACGC services are appropriate for your family’s needs. Be advised that an initial phone intake typically lasts 10-20 minutes. If ACGC services are appropriate for your family, the Intake Specialist will schedule an initial evaluation appointment for you and your child.
If one of our available weekly appointments is not convenient for your family’s schedule, the intake specialist will refer you to our walk-in clinic until a regular weekly appointment time slot that better serves your family’s needs becomes available.
Please go to our Payment Options page for information about our rates and participating insurance providers. If your child has been a victim of a crime or witnessed a crime, please ask the intake specialist about no-cost therapy options for which you may be eligible.
