about 38,000 students · San Marcos, TX
Psychiatry & therapy for Texas State students
Texas State drops 38,000 students into a county whose mental health infrastructure was built for a river town. The rhythm here is predictable and we schedule for it: October and March crisis spikes, ADHD evaluation requests before finals, and the particular stress of students commuting the I-35 corridor between class and jobs in Austin or San Antonio.
When campus counseling runs out of sessions
The Counseling Center is the right first stop on campus, and when its short-term model runs out of sessions, our care starts where it stopped. Bring nothing but your pharmacy history if that is all you have. We can rebuild a medication record from that alone.
Campus resource: Texas State Counseling Center. If you are in crisis right now, call or text 988 any time.
Insurance, for students and the parents reading this
Parents' PPOs from Houston and DFW dominate here, alongside Ambetter-to-employer-plan transitions when students age between plans. We check the card before you book so cost is never a surprise.
How visits actually work at Texas State
Video visits happen from apartments off Aquarena Springs and parked cars between shifts. Summer sessions continue from wherever the lease ends up. If the river is loud, we have heard worse backgrounds.
