AUSTIN, Texas, Mar. 30, 2026 – Family Care Center opened a new outpatient behavioral health clinic in South Austin, its sixth location in the Austin region. The clinic addresses the growing demand for mental health care in Texas and brings multiple services together under one roof.
Patients at the South Austin clinic can now access therapy, psychiatry, medication management, and advanced treatments such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in a coordinated, integrated setting—making care faster, more seamless, and easier to navigate.
Why the Family Care Center South Austin Clinic Matters
- Austin’s population grew from about 962,000 in 2020 to over 1 million in 2025. This growth has pushed the demand for behavioral health services beyond what local resources can currently provide.
- This new clinic comes at an important time. Each year, one in five adults in Texas faces a mental health condition. According to the Mental Health America 2025 State of Mental Health Report, Texas ranks 50th in the nation for access to mental health care.
- Many residents depend on separate providers for therapy, psychiatry, medication management, or TMS. This fragmented approach often leads to long wait times, limited coordination, and treatment delays.
- Family Care Center’s new South Austin clinic fills these gaps by providing integrated services in one location, helping patients access timely, coordinated care.
Integrated care for better outcomes
Family Care Center clinics use an integrated care model, combining therapy, psychiatry, and advanced treatments in one place. This model creates a more connected and effective experience for patients, leading to better patient outcomes.
How it works
- Multidisciplinary care teams: Therapists, psychiatrists, and specialists collaborate regularly, sharing insights and adjusting treatment plans in real time to align with each patient’s progress.
- Coordinated treatment plans: Patients receive a unified care plan that integrates therapy, medication management, TMS, and mental health IOP when appropriate.
- Continuity across the care journey: From assessment through ongoing treatment, patients receive consistent communication and support, reducing gaps, delays, and duplicate services.
- Services for all ages: Children, teens, adults, and older adults receive age-appropriate care throughout every stage of life.
Why it matters
- Faster access to care: Integrated teams streamline referrals and help reduce wait times.
- Better clinical outcomes: Collaborative care allows for real-time adjustments, helping patients achieve meaningful progress. More than 8 in 10 Family Care Center patients see meaningful improvement in depression and anxiety, rising to 90%+ with integrated therapy, medication, and TMS care.
- A simpler patient experience: Accessing services in one location reduces the stress of managing multiple providers.
- Personalized care: Evidence-based treatments are tailored to each patient’s needs, goals, and medical history.
“Across Texas, we’re seeing a growing disconnect between how many people need care and how quickly they can access it,” said Chris Ivany, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Family Care Center. “Opening our South Austin clinic is about more than expansion. It’s about reducing wait times, improving coordination, and making it easier for patients to get the right care at the right time. When services are integrated under one roof, we can intervene earlier and help patients achieve lasting outcomes.”
