How The Couch Therapy is Supporting Mental Health Awareness Month in Texas

At The Couch Therapy, we’re proud to participate in Mental Health Awareness Month this May. You may wonder what Mental Health Awareness Month is and why we celebrate it. As therapists in Texas, we see this month as an opportunity to bridge accessibility to therapy, remind people that they aren't alone if they are struggling, and be a voice for why therapy matters in treating mental health. Mental Health Awareness Month has been around since 1949, as a yearly initiative to uplift conversations around mental wellbeing, reduce stigma, and increase access to care.

Educating the Public About Mental Health Conditions

This quarter, our clinicians Katie, Megan, and Emily have presented at several professional trainings and networking events, providing psychoeducation on trauma, work as therapists in Texas, mental health for athletes, trainings on reproductive mental health, sex therapy, and identity development. These outreach efforts help normalize conversations around mental health and deepen community understanding of how mental health conditions can impact relationships, work, and daily life.

Reducing Stigma Through Resources & Conversation

Our team has developed tools like our Self-Care Guide—a resource designed to equip individuals with practical strategies for emotional regulation, mindfulness, and boundary setting. By offering tangible support and encouraging open dialogue, we’re helping shift the narrative from shame to self-compassion.

Bridging Access to Therapy Through Personalized Support

We know that finding a therapist in Texas can feel overwhelming. That’s why we created an interactive Therapist Matching Quiz that aligns individual personalities and preferences with the right clinician on our team. This personalized approach helps reduce the barriers that often prevent people from starting therapy.

Building Strong Referral Networks for Holistic Mental Health Support

Mental health doesn’t exist in isolation. That’s why our practice has cultivated intentional partnerships with dietitians, pelvic floor therapists, OBGYNs, reproductive endocrinologists, and athletic programs across Texas. These relationships ensure our clients receive collaborative care that addresses both their physical and emotional needs.

Offering Free Tools and Training to Reduce Isolation

Our public platform includes free mental health downloads, educational blogs, and practical tools for individuals and care providers alike. We also train referral partners on how to support clients’ mental health and reduce burnout, reminding them that they are not alone in this work. The Couch Therapy is committed to building a community of healing and support.
