For more information to find the Austin psychologist or therapist at the ApaCenter who can best help, please give us a call at 512-891-1500.

Our client care coordinators, Paige and Diane can help you to find the right psychologist or therapist to match your needs. They are very knowledgeable about the services and therapy styles of each practitioner. Whether you are looking for therapy, parent consultation or an assessment, Paige and Diane can help you find the right practitioner to fit your needs and schedule.

Sometimes you may not know if you are needing therapy or an assessment. Either of these start with a 1.5 hr. consultation with the practitioner to find out which direction is best for you. If you and the psychologist decide that an assessment is the right direction, then the cost of that initial consultation is applied to the cost of the assessment. Or, if therapy is the right road for you, regular sessions with the psychologist or therapist are one hour each.
