Welcome to the Community Outreach Program-Affordable Therapy in Houston

The Community Outreach Clinic is an initiative created to bring accessible and affordable therapy services to the Houston community. Through this program, Licensed Professional Counselor-Associates (LPC-Associates) provide reduced-fee counseling while working under the direct clinical supervision of Dr. Noel C. Gonzalez, PhD, LPC-S.

Many patients choose the Community Outreach Clinic because it provides thoughtful, supervised care at a more accessible rate — without compromising clinical integrity, professionalism, or depth of treatment.

This model enables individuals, couples, families, and children to access high-quality, evidence-based psychological care at a lower cost while supporting the professional development of emerging mental health clinicians.

As a licensed supervisor with over 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Gonzalez provides ongoing oversight, case consultation, and structured clinical guidance to each associate. Patients benefit from both their therapist's dedicated care and the expertise of senior supervision, ensuring thoughtful, ethically grounded treatment.

The Community Outreach Clinic operates as a fixed-fee, discounted program offering individual, couples, family, and group psychotherapy services for children, adolescents, and adults seeking affordable counseling in Houston, Texas.

Who Provides Services?

Services are provided by Licensed Professional Counselor-Associates (LPC-Associates) who have completed a master’s degree in counseling, psychology, or marriage and family therapy, including extensive supervised clinical training. They are licensed by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council and authorized to provide psychotherapy in Texas under clinical supervision as they work toward full independent licensure.

Each LPC-Associate receives structured, ongoing weekly supervision with Dr. Noel C. Gonzalez, PhD, LPC-S, who serves as Training Director and Clinical Supervisor. Supervision includes case consultation, treatment-planning guidance, and professional development to ensure services are delivered with clinical integrity and adherence to evidence-based practices.

Patients of the Community Outreach Clinic benefit from a collaborative care model — receiving dedicated therapeutic attention from their clinician while also being supported by experienced supervisory oversight. All services are conducted in accordance with the highest ethical and professional standards.
