Center for Child Protection opens St. Johns Therapy Center in Northeast Austin

April 14, 2026

The Center for Child Protection has opened the St. Johns Therapy Center in Northeast Austin, expanding its network of care sites across the region. The new location aims to reach families who need therapy services close to home.

Clinicians at St. Johns will provide counseling at no charge, with services available in more than one language to better serve non-English-speaking families. The center focuses on children who have either been harmed by abuse or seen violent incidents, offering specialized support for those experiences.

By establishing this site in Northeast Austin, the organization intends to reduce barriers that can prevent families from accessing care, such as distance and language. The addition builds on the nonprofit's ongoing efforts to make trauma-informed services more widely available throughout Travis County.

Staff at the therapy center will work directly with children and their caregivers to address the emotional and psychological needs that follow abuse or exposure to violence. The program structure is designed to connect families with counseling without charging families for sessions.

Community leaders and service providers in the area can refer children to the St. Johns Therapy Center, expanding local options for treatment and recovery. The center's bilingual capacity aims to ensure that language does not block access to necessary mental health care.

This opening represents the Center for Child Protection's latest step in broadening its reach within the county. Families seeking information about eligibility or how to access services can contact the organization for guidance and referrals.
