WHO WE ARE
The Counseling Place was founded in 1979 as a 501(c)(3) to strengthen our community of Richardson, Texas and surrounding areas. Our Counseling, Victims’ Assistance, and Youth Programs serve between 1,600 and 2,000 people each year.
We provide mental health services to community members and first-responders regardless of their ability to pay. Thanks to our partnerships with the cities of Richardson and Sachse and additional grant funding, we can provide free, long-term counseling and support services to victims of crime and trauma. We also provide education services for children and adolescents, which improve the emotional intelligence and brain health of our young community members.
