You don't have to carry this alone for one more week.

Book a session with Alex Calvillo or Kristen Patterson, two Heard Counseling clinicians with immediate availability and sliding-scale rates or insurance, both ready to meet you wherever you are.

Book Your First Session

Whatever brought you here today, it's enough of a reason to reach out.

Maybe it's anxiety that won't quiet down. Maybe it's a relationship that feels stuck, a loss you're still carrying, or a season of life that looks nothing like you expected. You don't need a tidy explanation before you book a session. You just need a willingness to find out what could feel different.

Alex and Kristen are both currently accepting new clients, with evening appointments and sliding-scale options available for those who need them. Every session is virtual, so you can connect from your own space, on your own schedule, anywhere in Texas.

  • Relationship, marital, and family dynamics

  • Life transitions, big or quiet

  • ADHD, neurodivergence, and identity development

  • LGBTQIA+ affirming care

You might be wondering…

  • When you book, you can request whichever clinician feels like the right fit, or let us know what you're looking for and we'll help you decide. Either way, you're in good hands.

  • Yes. Research consistently shows virtual therapy is as effective as in-person care for most concerns, and many clients find it easier to be open from their own space.

  • That's a completely normal place to start from. The first session is a conversation, not a commitment, and it's a good way to figure out what kind of support would actually help.

  • Yes and yes! We accept most major insurance plans and sliding-scale rates are available, subject to availability. Reach out and we'll talk through what's possible for your situation.
