Who We Are
The Agape Center - Unconditional Love
The Agape Center was established as a Christian based non-profit 501C3 Texas corporation in response to the heartbreaking and overwhelming number of calls and emails we have been receiving. The Center will provide services to as many as possible in the Guadalupe County area. There are many people experiencing personal crisis, mental health issues and substance abuse. Our community needs each other: volunteer, offer support and most importantly reach out when YOU are in need.
What we focus on
Our focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a plan of action for your recovery.
Our promise to you
We promise to be there for you as you take each step toward growth in your journey. Our goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.
Services
Anxiety & Depression
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, joy and purpose that you once had in your life. RESTORE Intensive Outpatient Program is available for Anxiety & Depression
Trauma & PTSD
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing. RESTORE Intensive Outpatient Program is available for Trauma & PTSD
Mobile Crisis Team
The Mobile Crisis Team (MCT) assists those in the Guadalupe County area who are experiencing a personal or family crisis.
Psychotherapy & Counseling
Our purpose is to help those who are in crisis or a difficult life transition. These services are available for individuals, families and adolescents that are dealing with crisis in their lives.
Suicide Prevention
If you think a friend or family member is considering suicide, you might be afraid to bring up the subject. Don’t be afraid! Talking openly about suicidal thoughts and feelings can save a life. Talking about suicide won’t give the person ideas about death. The opposite is true — bringing up the subject of suicide and discussing it openly is one of the most helpful things you can do.
Substance Abuse Issues
Our intensive outpatient programs provide structure and support that help you create a sober routine, make changes in your thoughts and behaviors, and establish a support network—critical components of long-term recovery. Outpatient treatment for drugs and alcohol is ideal if you are already on your recovery journey and ready to return to work, school or other responsibilities and need help with this transition.
First Responders Counseling
First Responders are the frontline soldiers in daily conflicts, incidents, accidents and violence. While often under-appreciated, these men and women help make our communities stronger and safer every day. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) will be used for those who suffer repeated bouts of depression and chronic unhappiness.

Education & Awareness
The key to prevention is awareness and education. We are passionate about our work, and share the often-difficult, honest truths of their experiences, balanced with a compassion and empathy that informs, inspires, and ultimately educates.
Natural Disaster
Both natural and human-generated disasters, which are associated with destruction as well as loss of loved ones and irreplaceable belongings, often overwhelm one's normal coping capacity.
Disasters also tend to stress emotional, cognitive, behavioral, physiological, and religious/spiritual beliefs. In light of this, we are here to assist in every way we can.
