At Innova Recovery Center, we know that healing can’t wait, especially in moments of crisis.

As devastating floods have impacted families, first responders, and entire communities across Kerrville and the Texas Hill Country, Innova is stepping up to do what we do best: provide trauma care, emotional support, and hope for those who need it most. We are proud to serve as both the leading trauma treatment center in Texas and as fellow Texans: neighbors, parents, and community members committed to standing beside those who are hurting right now.

Free Trauma Counseling & Treatment Scholarships

We are offering free trauma counseling sessions to individuals affected by the flooding, including adults, children, teens, and first responders. For those without insurance or financial resources, we are providing full scholarships to ensure every person who needs care can receive it.

This includes specialized virtual group sessions for Camp Mystic flood victims and siblings from kindergarten through 12th grade. For more information, click here.

Our expert trauma therapists specialize in evidence-based treatment methods, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), play therapy for children, and group therapy for adolescents and adults.

Therapy is available at our locations in San Antonio, Boerne, and New Braunfels, as well as through secure telehealth nationwide.

Why Getting Help Early Matters

In this video, Dr. Kasi Howard, founder of Innova Recovery Center, explains why it’s crucial not to wait to seek trauma support after a disaster and how Innova is here to provide immediate assistance.

Mental Health & Stress Relief Kits for First Responders

Our staff is assembling mental health care kits for first responders working tirelessly on the frontlines. These kits include:

  • Weighted blankets
  • Sleep aids and calming tools
  • Snacks and comforting personal items
  • Handwritten notes of gratitude and encouragement from our staff and teens in our programs

We want first responders to know they are seen, valued, and supported.

Donation Drive & Community Service

In partnership with our Innova Joy teen center, we are organizing donation drives for essential supplies, allowing teens to actively participate in giving back to the community. Our team members will also be volunteering during work hours to assist flood-affected families with recovery efforts directly.

Help for Parents & Families

Many parents are asking how they can help their children process trauma and anxiety during this difficult time. Dr. Kasi Howard offers compassionate, practical tips for families in our blog post: How to Talk to Kids About Traumatic Events

Together, we heal. Together, we rebuild.

Take a deep breath, you’re home...

Seeing our patients overcome trauma and live a full life is the reason we are here. Therapy shouldn’t make you feel like you’re a patient in a hospital, but should feel as if you are being welcomed by a good friend.

We offer in-person & virtual treatment for teens & adults.
