El Paso Child Guidance Center

El Paso Child Guidance Center Since 1954, we have provided our community effective, efficient and compassionate mental health care. No client is ever turned away due to an inability to pay.

Our Mission
Improving the health and well-being of children and families in a safe environment through mental health services, education, and awareness. Our Vision
Transforming the Borderland by advancing mental health to foster healing and a stigma-free environment. What we do
Since 1954, we have provided our community effective, efficient and compassionate mental health care. The Center serves anyone ages two to adulthood who is experiencing mental health challenges. Mental Health starts with ME. When you take the first step, the El Paso Child Guidance Center harnesses the power of WE in wellness, and provides clients a complete mental healthcare team tailored to their needs. As a team, together, our clients are provided effective, efficient, compassionate wrap-around care, never the run-around. The Center provides coordinated mental wellness, prevention, therapy, and psychiatry. Our highly trained, multidisciplinary team of therapists, professional counselors, clinical social workers, psychiatrists and care coordinators are ready to help you begin your journey to mental wellness. You are not alone on this journey to healing. We offer in-person and telehealth appointments. The Center accepts Medicaid and most private insurances. Services are also provided on a sliding scale based on a family’s income. Grant-funded services are sometimes available for those without insurance and who cannot afford payment.

Healing isn’t linear. It doesn’t follow a timeline or look the same for everyone. Some days feel like progress, others feel like starting over. Be kind and gentle with yourself—healing is still happening. And healing is possible.

Talking to a loved one about su***de—especially a child—can feel overwhelming. But listening with compassion, taking deep breaths, and showing up with love can make all the difference. You don’t have to have all the answers. Just being there matters. Su***de prevention is possible. 💛

"Grief can be confusing and overwhelming for children. They may not have the words to express what they’re feeling — but your presence, patience, and support can make all the difference. Take the time to sit with them, explain that these roller coaster emotions are normal, and remind them: it’s okay to feel, and it will get better." 💛
