About Us
Report
Capital Area Counseling (CAC), formerly known as Capital Area Mental Health Center, was innovated in 1980 by members of the Capital Area Psychological Association who personally responded to the need for low-cost psychological services to people living in the Austin, TX. While there were low-cost medical clinics across the nation, no one had developed a mental health clinic using professional volunteers.

Our Ambassadors
Report
I am Kimberly Cannon, a Marriage and Family therapy pre-grad intern. My genuine passion is to help clients discover the root of those hindering hurdles and align with them to identify sustainable coping strategies. No single approach fits all, so I have resolved to continue my training as a life-long learner.
