Real Talk Clinical Psychology is a doctoral-level clinic established in Houston in 2018. We offer in-person and online therapy across Texas, with several clinicians PsyPact-authorized to work with patients in other states as well. Our team is multicultural, offering therapy in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Farsi.
We specialize in high-complexity, depth-oriented work: co-occurring conditions, long-standing patterns, symptoms that have not responded to previous treatment, and presentations many practices refer out. Diagnosis informs our work, but it does not replace the story of each person who arrives with it.
Real Talk is also a postdoctoral training site. Our psychologists participate in ongoing consultation, and clinical work here benefits from collective thinking.
We are in-network with Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare/Optum, Oscar, Tricare, and Curative.
Areas of Focus
Meaning & Purpose
Starting therapy is often prompted by something that cannot wait. We're structured to offer same-week appointments and respond to inquiries within minutes on weekdays and hours on evenings and weekends.
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, natural light, warmth, and an environment meant to support presence.
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.
