About This Guide

I’m Nick Bryant and I have worked in Houston healthcare, community health, and service navigation for more than 13 years. I help families understand where to go when they need Medicaid counseling, mental health services, health insurance help, and community resources.

I also work with Texas Care Center to help children with Medicaid connect to counseling in Houston. My goal is to make the process easier for parents who are tired of calling multiple offices and hearing “we do not take Medicaid” or “we have a waitlist.”

Does Medicaid Cover Child Therapy in Houston?

Yes. Medicaid can cover child therapy in Houston when counseling is medically necessary and provided by an approved provider.

Children with Medicaid may be able to receive therapy for:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Trauma
• Behavior problems
• Anger
• Grief
• Family stress
• School problems
• ADHD-related concerns
• Emotional changes
• Low self-esteem
• Mood changes

The problem most parents run into is not whether Medicaid covers therapy. The problem is finding a child therapist who accepts Medicaid, works with children, answers the phone, and has availability.

That is where Texas Care Center may be able to help.

How To Get Started

Step 1: Call or Text Nick

Call or text:

281-870-3599

You can say:

“My child has Medicaid, and I am looking for a child therapist in Houston.”

Step 2: Share Your Child’s Medicaid Plan

If possible, have your child’s Medicaid plan ready.

Examples:

• Texas Children’s Health Plan
• Community Health Choice
• Molina
• Traditional Medicaid

If you are not sure, look at your child’s Medicaid card.

Step 3: Explain What Your Child Needs Help With

You do not need to have a perfect explanation. Just describe what is happening.

Examples:

• “My child is anxious.”
• “My teen seems depressed.”
• “My child is having behavior problems.”
• “My child has been through trauma.”
• “My child is angry all the time.”
• “My child is struggling at school.”

Step 4: Ask About Therapy Options

Depending on your child’s needs and eligibility, ask whether therapy can happen:

• At a clinic

What To Have Ready

Before calling or texting, try to have:

• Your child’s age
• Your child’s Medicaid plan
• Your ZIP code or area of Houston
• A short description of what your child needs help with
• Your preferred therapy setting

You do not need everything before reaching out. If you are missing information, you can still text and ask what is needed.

Child Therapist vs Child Counselor vs Child Psychologist

Parents may search for a child therapist, child counselor, pediatric therapist, or child psychologist who accepts Medicaid. The right type of provider depends on whether your child needs counseling, testing, diagnosis, or another service.

A child therapist or counselor usually helps with anxiety, depression, trauma, behavior problems, anger, grief, coping skills, and family stress.

A child psychologist may provide therapy too, but psychologists are often connected to testing, diagnosis, ADHD testing, autism testing, or psychological evaluations.

If your child needs counseling, Texas Care Center may be able to help. If your child needs testing or a full psychological evaluation, you may need a different type of provider.

What If My Child Is in Crisis?

Texas Care Center may help with outpatient therapy, but it is not a 24-hour emergency crisis service.

If your child is in immediate danger, call:

911

988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline

The Harris Center Crisis Line: 713-970-7000

Nearest emergency room

Use emergency help if your child is suicidal, threatening to hurt someone, hearing voices telling them to hurt themselves or others, out of control, or unsafe.
