Real Talk Clinical Psychology was founded in 2018 to provide doctoral-level, depth-oriented care for those who need more than surface-level skills. Our Ph.D. and Psy.D. training allows us to address long-standing, complex cases, including overlapping diagnoses and symptoms that haven't responded to previous treatment.

 

 To make this level of care accessible, we are in-network with Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare/Optum, Oscar, Tricare, and Curative.

 

Starting therapy is often prompted by something that cannot wait, so we are structured to offer same-week appointments. We respond to inquiries within minutes on weekdays and within a few hours on evenings and weekends.

We treat these as starting points for deep therapeutic work.
Real Talk Clinical Psychology office interior in Houston

Real Talk is located between the Galleria area and Memorial, close enough to be central while remaining removed from the pace of the city. The building sits on a quiet, tree-lined street with ample parking and no through traffic, creating space to arrive before sessions begin.

 

Inside, the office offers natural light, privacy, and an environment structured to support clinical work.

 

Many people choose in-person therapy because being in the same room creates a particular kind of grounding, making it easier to stay with difficult thoughts, notice subtle shifts, and follow what emerges in real time.
