Learn About the APACenter: Discovering Possibilities for Change
The APACenter (or Austin Psychology & Assessment Center) is a group of psychologists dedicated to providing the highest standard of psychological services to children, adolescents, and adults. We want to help you (and/or your child!) overcome challenges, achieve your goals, and find greater life satisfaction. The APACenter was formed by Dr. Mike Brooks in 2007. We are proud to say that we are locally owned and operated and are honored to serve the Austin and Central Texas communities.
There is truth in the adage that “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” We have a number of psychologists with diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise. Our idea is that, if you or your child have a need, we have the right professional who can help.
We have two locations in Austin. We have one office that is located in south Austin close to the “Y” in Oak Hill. It is in the Oakwood Commons professional condominiums at the intersection of W. William Cannon Dr. and Escarpment Blvd. The address is 6012 W. William Cannon, STE B-103, Austin, Texas 78749.
Our second location is in the Westlake area of Austin. We are also close to Lake Travis as well. This office is located near the intersection of Bee Caves Rd. and Loop 360, across from One World Theater. Our street address is 248 Addie Roy Rd., STE B105, Austin, Texas 78746.

We are client-centered in our philosophy. That is, we know that you possess many strengths, resources, and resiliencies. Our approach is to partner with you in discovering possibilities for growth and change. We believe this is the most effective way to help you achieve your goals.
We use the most effective evidence-based practices in our work with you. Some of these include feedback informed treatment (FIT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, solution-oriented therapy, positive psychology). Therefore, flexibly adapting to your specific needs is critical to gaining the positive outcomes that you desire. As our client, we always keep you at the center of the change process.
