July is Disability Pride Month, and TCA proudly stands with the disability community and the counselors who support them. We believe disability-affirming care is essential to advancing equitable access to mental health services across Texas. Every individual deserves counseling that recognizes their strengths, honors their experiences, and respects their full humanity.

Important news for counselors and counselors-in-training: a federal judge has blocked proposed student loan caps that would have hit graduate students in mental health, therapy, and related fields especially hard.

The ruling pauses new rules that would have limited borrowing for programs not classified as "professional degrees" -- a list that left counseling and therapy fields out entirely.

If you or someone you know is pursuing a graduate degree in counseling, this matters. We're keeping a close eye on how this continues to unfold.

This Pride Month, TCA celebrates the LGBTQ+ community — a community that has faced, and continues to face, real barriers to safety, belonging, and full recognition. We see you, we stand with you, and we are proud to.

Counselors, students, educators, and advocates show up every day in that gap — building environments where every person is affirmed, respected, and empowered to be fully themselves. That work matters deeply, and so do the people doing it

Our profession is at its most powerful when it reflects the wholeness of the communities we serve. TCA remains committed to advancing inclusion, promoting equity, and ensuring that no one has to fight alone to be seen, heard, and valued.

Happy Pride Month!
