About
The Montrose Center strives to create a welcoming environment where everyone is celebrated for who they are.
Our Mission
The Montrose Center empowers our community—primarily lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals and their families—to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Our Vision
We envision a healthier society marked by permanent, positive changes in attitudes and behaviors toward the LGBTQ+ communities, and the ability of all LGBTQ+ individuals to realize their fullest potential.
Our Values
Compassion with Purpose
We lead with empathy, aiming that every person feels seen, valued, and supported. Through trauma-informed care and advocacy, we uplift our community and respond to challenges with kindness and resilience.
Integrity in Action
We honor our commitments through transparency, responsibility, and ethical leadership. We foster mutual trust and accountability by holding ourselves to the highest standards in advancing liberation, equity, and racial, gender, and economic justice.
Excellence Through Impact
We are relentless in our pursuit of high-quality, innovative programs that address the evolving needs of our community. We strive for excellence by embracing creativity, evidence-based solutions, and continuous learning.
Community as Our Foundation
We empower our community by fostering inclusive and collaborative spaces, deepening connections, and amplifying diverse voices. We are committed to co-creating a Center that belongs to and reflects the people we serve.
Joy as a Source of Strength
We embrace joy as a powerful force that fuels wellness, connection, and hope. We celebrate our identities, experiences, and accomplishments by creating spaces of laughter, gratitude, and LGBTQ+ pride.
Our People & Programs
Our team of state-licensed clinicians, masters-level therapists, skilled educators, support staff and dedicated volunteers work together to create healthier futures for our community.
Because LGBTQ persons face numerous health disparities compared to the general population, the Center has embraced an integrated care model with one-stop access to behavioral health and support services, adult primary care and psychiatry, and free wellness programs that empower individuals to proactively participate in their own care.
As the cultural hub of Houston’s LGBTQ community, the Center is “home” to dozens of LGBTQ-affirming social and civic organizations, and offers affordable rental space.
