Montrose Center

The Montrose center provides an important community space for all kinds of work. I've seen church groups, social clubs, and LGBT focused groups use the different spaces at the same time and that is so cool. It is the physical embodiment of what it means to be a Houstonian and a Texan.

They dont Care ....very rude, you explain your situation and their very dismissive...worst Experience by far so called LGBT Friendly 👎🏻houston location

Edit: as of December 2025 there are numerous 5 star reviews. None of them actually talking about being helped in any way. I wouldn't be surprised if they're leaving their own reviews to uplift themselves to 3.5 stars lol. Almost a year ago I contacted this center asking for help. I never recieved any type of callback or email. If I hadn't been able to return to an unsafe home I'd be out on the streets. So thanks for nothing.

They call this place homotown among the locals. You'll not find better decorated and whimsical businesses anywhere in Houston.

I literally was just sitting down, minding my business, waiting on a friend to take care of his business, when a worker legitimately concerned, asked me if someone had already helped me. That made me feel so seen, and validated somehow. If that's how they treat you without knowing if you're in for service, I can only imagine how committed they'll be when receiving care.

I’ve Known Of Montrose Counseling/Community Center since Summer of 1995. During That Time MCC was located on Richmond Avenue in a beautiful but smaller building than they’re in now. My first Therapist was Lee Willis a phenomenal therapist for anyone living with gender dysphoria. Since then I’ve had sporadic experiences at MCC from 1995 till 2008. However, when I move back to Houston in 2008 I started going To MCC consistently especially after 2009. I’ve had some wonderful case managers and therapist from Mandy Lloyd in 2009 till Daniel Perez now. I can honestly say there’re people who work at MCC who authentically care about the LGBTQ+ community of Houston very much, and those same people are willing to provide exceptional services for anyone regardless of their sexual orientation, gender, religion, or race to me that’s commendable. I lost my Therapist/ Friend Mike Ator in November Of last year 11-04-24 was the day I was told he had passed away, and that news shook me to my core it was devastating heartbreaking news. I miss him greatly and that’s the kind of people that work at MCC phenomenal people who truly care and reaffirm to their clients they matter. In closing, I wholeheartedly recommend MCC to anyone who seeking services like Mental Wellness, Community groups to network, groups that meet to discuss life’s challenges, and helping people who are apart of the LGBTQ+ community by reaffirming the fact YOU MATTER 🤗 I Sincerely And Unequivocally give MCC Five Stars For being a lighthouse In Dark Times Thank You ☺️ GOD Bless 🙏🏾 !!!!!!

The facilities are great, we so appreciate the safe spaces. Staff works with disabilities and are very kind in my experience. Thank y'all so much!

A nice place to hold a group meeting
