Who We Are & What We Do:

Founded in 1992 by Dr. Frances Mayo along with local psychologists, doctors, counselors, and community leaders, Access was created to meet the urgent need for affordable mental health services in Aransas County. At the time, while residents could find medical clinics, there were no local options for professional counseling without traveling to Corpus Christi or beyond. Access changed that. For over 30 years, we have continued this legacy by providing high-quality, stigma-free counseling close to home, while serving as a trusted partner to schools, hospitals, and community organizations across the Coastal Bend.
