Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I choose the right therapist?
You can browse our clinicians by language, schedule, and the ages they work with. You can also submit a contact form, and our Clinical Director will recommend a clinician based on your concerns, availability, and preferences.
Do your psychologists offer therapy in Spanish?
Yes. We have clinicians who offer therapy in Spanish, Portuguese, Farsi, and English. You can filter our team by language.
What ages do your clinicians work with?
Our primary focus is individual therapy with adults. Some of our psychologists see select teens and children, and others offer specialized work with couples.
What if I have a preferred therapist who is on a waitlist?
You can join that psychologist’s waitlist, schedule an initial session with another psychologist to verify fit and next steps, or let us match you with the clinician who would best fit your needs. Our goal is to make sure you are not left waiting without support.
Will I always see the same therapist?
Once you begin, you work with the same psychologist on an ongoing basis unless you decide that a change would be helpful. If at any point the fit does not feel right, we will help you think about what you need and explore other options within the clinic or somewhere else.
Can I change therapists if it doesn’t feel like a good match?
Yes. Fit matters a lot. You can talk about this directly with your current therapist, or reach out to our Clinical Director if that feels easier. We will take your concerns seriously and help you consider whether a change is needed and what might work better.
Why Choose Real Talk Clinical Psychology
Therapy with doctorate-level psychologists
At Real Talk, therapy is provided by Ph.D.-level psychologists. Our training is rooted in depth-oriented, evidence-based approaches, and we continue to study and consult so that our work stays alive and thoughtful.
A psychology clinic, not a therapy mill
Real Talk is a psychology clinic. Our team is stable, and cases are discussed with care. The focus is on steady therapeutic work that respects the complexity of people’s lives rather than quick solutions or scripts.
In-network and insurance-based
We work with insurance so that high-quality, depth-oriented therapy can be accessible to more people. Real Talk is in network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare/Optum, and Oscar. Our team verifies benefits and submits all claims for our patients.
Online across Texas and in-person in Houston
Our clinical team sees patients in a calm office near the Galleria area in Houston and via secure telehealth across Texas. Many people appreciate having the option to meet in person when possible and online when distance, health, or schedule make that easier.
Therapy in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Farsi
We are a multilingual, multicultural clinic. Clinicians bring their own languages and perspectives to the work, and we offer therapy in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Farsi. Being able to speak in the language that feels most natural to us makes the work more honest and precise.
A practice built around real care.
Real Talk Clinical Psychology was created to be a place where people can speak seriously about their lives and be met by clinicians who are equally serious about their craft. We never stop studying, consulting, and training. Learn more here.
