Banyan Counseling has an office located near the North Cypress Medical Center and has therapists trained to provide individual and family counseling. People interested in receiving services through Give an Hour™ are encouraged to call (281) 855-1982 or email to determine availability. For additional information on family support groups please email info@banyancounseling.com.
Given an Hour™ is a nonpartisan, nonprofit national network of mental health professionals providing free counseling services to returning troops and their families. Give an Hour™ offers services to veterans of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and their family members. Family members are loosely defined to include married or unmarried partners, parents, siblings, aunts/uncles - anyone connected to the veteran who is suffering a psychological effect related to the veteran's service.
"The sheer number of people being affected makes it virtually impossible for the very competent but overtaxed military health care system to provide help to everyone who needs it," says Dr. Romberg. "We are so proud that Banyan Counseling Network and their associates have joined our efforts."
