Central Texas · 501(C)(3) Foundation Since 2010
THERAPY IN THE
WAKE OF CANCER
A cancer diagnosis sends waves through everyone it touches, not just the person diagnosed. Flatwater connects individuals and families navigating cancer at any stage of the journey to a network of licensed therapists, fully funding up to 40 sessions, removing the financial barrier to care.
A cancer diagnosis doesn't stay with one person — it ripples outward.
We connect individuals, couples, and families affected by cancer in Central Texas to a licensed therapist, at any stage of the journey — from the first appointment through survivorship, caregiving, or loss.
The person diagnosed
Support for processing a diagnosis, treatment, and the identity shift that comes after — during active care or years into remission.
The people holding it together
Spouses, partners, siblings, and loved ones carrying the emotional weight and need their own space to process it.
The whole household
Families including children need ways to understand what's happening. We work with entire families so no one is left to make sense of it alone.
Getting support takes three steps.
No paperwork maze, no waiting on insurance approval. Just a straightforward path to care.

Two paths to healing, one shared goal.
Access looks different for every person. Flatwater funds both traditional psychotherapy and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, so care can meet people where they are.
Psychotherapy
Traditional "talk" therapy with a licensed therapist, helping individuals and families find the strength to meet the challenges of a cancer diagnosis.
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy
An experiential, hands-on approach that incorporates horses into the therapeutic process — supporting emotional growth through real-time connection, as an alternative to traditional talk therapy.
Sixteen years of removing the cost from care.
A cancer diagnosis brings a second cost that's rarely talked about: the toll it takes on mental health, for the person diagnosed and everyone around them. That support shouldn't depend on what a family can afford. Since 2010, Flatwater has given Central Texans access to licensed therapists at no cost — because financial toxicity is one of the most common, and most overlooked, side effects of cancer.
We're proud to be recognized for our transparency
