The mission of Jewish Family Service is to strengthen Jewish families by providing psychotherapeutic, educational, and family support services. All JFS therapists are licensed by the Texas State Board of Social Work Examiners.
Services are strictly confidential, and fees are set on a sliding scale according to family income.
Where appropriate, insurance providers may be billed for JFS professional services. Staff are also available by phone to answer questions about services in the Jewish community and in the larger Austin community. Staff will also arrange referrals to other providers where appropriate. Families who are caring for an elderly, chronically ill, or disabled family member have multiple needs and stresses. JFS staff can help families cope with these stresses, and can help with formulating and arranging a plan of care that will include available support services from community agencies.
