Community Counseling Service

Our Lady of the Lake University's Community Counseling Service (CCS) offers individual, couple/marital, or family counseling and psychological testing. The CCS staff is concerned with the mental health needs of San Antonio, especially the community on the West Side.

The staff at CCS is committed to providing confidential, affordable counseling services to individuals, couples and families which emphasize solutions and strengths. The support services are aimed at helping you and your family to function and cope better with emotions, and engage in healthier relationships.

Services are provided by psychologists, family therapists, counselors, and by doctoral and master's-level graduate students from the Psychology Department at Our Lady of the Lake University.

While the staff often works with individuals who are experiencing a crisis, the goal of counseling is to help address concerns before they develop into more serious problems. Our services are designed to help individuals think and behave more effectively and to develop more control over their lives. Counseling offers the opportunity to initiate positive changes that are realistic and achievable.
