The Counseling & Family Therapy Clinic (CFTC), located at the first floor, north entrance of the Health Sciences Center, is open to the public and provides counseling for families, couples, groups, and individuals, both adults and children.

Services Available
At the Texas Woman’s University Counseling & Family Therapy Clinic, we offer a range of counseling and therapy services to support individuals, couples, and families in our community. Our services are provided by graduate students in the Counseling & Development and Marriage and Family Therapy programs under the supervision of licensed professionals.
- Individual Therapy: Individual therapy provides a safe and confidential space to explore personal challenges, emotions, and goals. Our student therapists help clients address concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, life transitions, and personal growth.
- Couples Therapy: Relationships can face challenges, and our couples therapy sessions are designed to help partners improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen emotional connections. Whether facing a major transition or ongoing issues, our therapists provide guidance to foster a healthier partnership.
- Family Therapy: Family dynamics can be complex, and our family therapy services aim to improve relationships, enhance communication, and address conflicts in a supportive environment. We help families navigate challenges such as parenting concerns, life transitions, and intergenerational issues.
- Activity-Based Therapy: Activity-based therapy uses storytelling, movement, games, creative projects, and hands-on experiences to help children express themselves, build coping skills, and work through challenges. Because children often communicate best through action rather than words, activity-based approaches make therapy engaging, developmentally appropriate, and effective. These activities create a safe space for children to practice problem-solving, manage emotions, and strengthen relationships in ways that feel natural to them.
- Group Therapy: Group therapy offers a supportive environment where individuals with shared concerns can come together to learn, grow, and support one another. We offer groups focused on various topics, such as stress management, parenting support, and relationship skills.
