Terra Wagner, Clinic Director
The Center for Family Counseling offers a variety of counseling services to individuals (e.g., adults, adolescents and children), groups, couples, and families struggling with personal, social, or career-related issues, which in turn provide SMU graduate counseling students with meaningful training experiences via supervised therapeutic interactions. Some of the general issues that counseling can address include (but are not limited to) grief and loss, depression, anxiety, attention deficit disorder/attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, self-concept, relationships, stress, trauma, parent education and career counseling. The clinic offers counseling services that are tailored to the developmental needs of clients, such as play therapy for children ages 2–8 and activity therapy for children ages 9–12. The clinic also has two satellite clinics housed within the Frisco Independent School District and Plano Independent School District, which offer counseling services to students in the school system and to their parents.
