THE COUNSELING PLACE

The Counseling Place is a community mental health nonprofit based in Richardson, Texas, that provides low-cost professional counseling, crisis intervention, victim advocacy, and education programs to children, teens, adults and families. The organization operates a community counseling clinic and victims' assistance program and holds municipal partnerships that allow it to provide free or subsidized services to survivors of crime and first responders. In recent years The Counseling Place has expanded telehealth services to reach clients across Texas, continued outreach and school- and youth-focused education, and sustained an operating budget in the roughly $1M range (FY2024). The agency reports serving roughly 1,600–2,000 people annually through its counseling, advocacy, and youth programming and remains an active donor-facing 501(c)(3).
