The RMYA Community Psychiatric Clinic provides short-term psychiatric services in conjunction with child and family counseling for community children and youth (up to age 24) waiting to be seen by a private psychiatrist.

Our counselors partner with psychiatric residents from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, to provide evaluations and follow-up assessments for children coping with mental health issues that could lead to abuse, hospitalization, or the breakdown of the family unit.

RMYA also provides referrals for long-term psychiatric care when necessary.

Our agency offers the Becoming a Love and Logic Parent training course. The seven-week Becoming a Love and Logic Parent program was developed by Jim Fay, Charles Fay, PhD., and Foster W. Cline, M.D., of the Love and Logic Institute, Inc., in Golden, Colorado.
