Warren Townsend

In 1973, a pioneering spirit in mental health care emerged in Central Texas when Warren Townsend, LCSW, BCD, founded Professional Counseling Service. As the first full-time private counseling practice in Bell and Coryell Counties, Townsend's vision was to provide accessible, professional mental health support to a community in need.

Warren Townsend's dedication to the field of social work and counseling was evident in his credentials as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and his board certification (BCD). His commitment to excellence in mental health care laid the foundation for what would become a cornerstone of therapeutic services in the region.

Throughout his career, Townsend demonstrated a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals and families in the area. His practice grew to include a second office in Copperas Cove, expanding the reach of Professional Counseling Service and bringing vital mental health resources to more people in need.

Warren Townsend's impact on the mental health landscape of Central Texas cannot be overstated. His legacy lives on through the continued work of Professional Counseling Service, which maintains his vision of providing a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients can explore their innermost thoughts and feelings.

Although Warren Townsend has since retired, his influence remains palpable in the practice's philosophy and approach. The current team of therapists at Professional Counseling Service continues to uphold the standards of professionalism, compassion, and dedication to client well-being that Townsend instilled from the very beginning.
