✨ Exciting News + A Helpful Update for the New School Year ✨

We’re honored to share that Heather Pina-McGhee, LPC-S, RPT-S was recently named a Mom-Approved Play Therapist by DFWChild Magazine! This recognition means so much to us and truly reflects the trust and relationships we’ve built with families at Life Chapters Counseling 💛

We’re also excited to share an important update for Texas families:
Starting this fall, schools are required to excuse absences for mental health care—just like physical health appointments.

🧠 Thanks to SB 207, students won’t face attendance or academic penalties for taking time off to care for their emotional well-being. To be counted as excused, your child must attend part of the school day before or after the appointment, and you’ll just need a note from their therapist.

This is a big step forward in supporting whole-child wellness, and we’re grateful to walk alongside you every step of the way.
