Recent census data show that the greater Houston area contains over 5.5 million inhabitants, making Houston the 4th largest U.S. city. Houston is an affordable, international city that is a leader in the arts, education, and health care. The population base includes a wide variety of racial and ethnic groups that give Houston a rich diversity and cosmopolitan feel. In fact Houston is the most diverse large city in the U.S. and at Texas Children's we serve large Hispanic populations and other children and families from minority backgrounds. The Section of Psychology has over 35 full time faculty based at TCH. We value diversity and are committed to inclusion as well as the recruitment, retention, development and promotion of psychologists of all backgrounds and experiences. We believe this inclusion reflects the multicultural values and experiences of our patients, families and broader community.
