Child & Teen Therapy in Houston, TX
Children often speak through play, behavior, and silence. Teens speak in bursts or not at all. We do not force advice or labels. We learn what they are trying to manage—at home, at school, with peers—and how to make room for their voice.
Our clinical team of in-network psychologists can help you. In person in Houston and online across Texas.
Child and adolescent therapy at Real Talk is provided by PhD and PsyD-level psychologists with specialized training. Covered by Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Oscar insurance in Houston.
