Central Texas

Connect to Care Program

At Nurtured TX, we offer a range of services to support individuals navigating mental health challenges during pregnancy and postpartum. For those living in Williamson, Travis, Bastrop, Caldwell, or Hays counties who are unable to afford care, we provide a unique option to help make treatment accessible.

The Central Texas Connect to Care Program connects eligible individuals with licensed mental health providers specially trained in Perinatal Mental Health Disorders (PMHDs), including postpartum depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD. Participants receive up to 10 free therapy sessions with a qualified provider, scheduled directly between the client and therapist, to address mental health needs during this critical period.

For more information or questions, please contact us at hello@nurturedtx.org.

  • Either pregnant or within 12 months postpartum

  • Resident of Travis, Williamson, Bastrop, Caldwell, or Hays counties

  • Household income at or below 250% of the Federal Poverty Level

If you are unsure whether you qualify, we encourage you to complete the application and a Nurtured TX team member will review your information and guide you to the appropriate next steps.

Please note: This program is currently open only to residents of Williamson, Travis, Bastrop, or Hays counties. If you are seeking care outside of these counties, please visit our Kristi’s List Provider Directory for additional resources. Many listed clinicians offer virtual/telehealth services.

The Central Texas Connect to Care Program provides connections to mental health resources and support services during regular business hours. Responses to inquiries may take up to 3 business days. Our program is not a crisis intervention service and is not monitored 24/7 for emergency situations.

For immediate crisis support:

  • Emergency Services: 911

  • National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: 988 (available 24/7)

If you are in crisis, please reach out to these resources right away. For non-emergency support and resource connections, we're here to help connect you with appropriate services in our community.
