About Child and Family Guidance Center
Child and Family Guidance Center is a community mental health clinic in Dallas, Texas serving behavioral health services to children, adolescents, adults, and families across seven North Texas counties. This nonprofit has served over 12,000 clients annually since 1896.
They offer psychiatric evaluations, therapy, medication management, and a Safety Net substance use prevention and intervention program for youth.
As a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic, Child and Family Guidance Center ensures no one is turned away regardless of ability to pay, caring for underserved populations.
Mental Health and Substance Use Programs with On-Site Pharmacy Services
Clients begin with an assessment to determine the appropriate level of outpatient support, which may include individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy, or medication management. I've found the newly renovated facility has a on-site pharmacy to help with medication assistance.
The Safety Net program delivers school and community-based substance use prevention and early intervention for youth in Dallas, Collin, and Denton counties.
Guidance Center Care and Assistance
I've found that the admissions team can verify insurance, discuss financial assistance and connect individuals to the right care. They help discuss insurance any payment options including the sliding scale payment system.
They accept Medicaid, CHIP, Medicaire and other private insurances.
The center also offers telehealth services via video and phone appointments for greater assitance. They offer walk-in priority care Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
