Family and Child Guidance Centers

Family and Child Guidance Centers (doing business as Child & Family Guidance Center) is a long-standing Dallas-based nonprofit behavioral health provider founded in 1896 that delivers outpatient mental and behavioral health services to children, adults, and families across multiple North Texas counties. The organization provides clinical therapy, case management, crisis intervention, walk-in/same-day appointments, and specialty programs designed for people with complex mental health needs, serving Medicaid and low-income populations regardless of ability to pay.

In recent years the center has expanded access to care with walk-in priority services, same-day appointments, and an on-site pharmacy to support medication management and treatment adherence. The organization operates a principal location in Dallas and partners with regional payers and public behavioral-health systems to maintain an integrated continuum of care for children, families, and adults.
