Getting to know Billie Beard

Hello. I'm Billie! Do you feel pressure to conform to other people's expectations? Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety? Are you looking for a therapist but don't want to have to explain your identity? (LGBTQ, Poly, Kink, Asexual) I help clients discover their authentic selves. This could involve coming out, gender transition, job transition, processing past trauma, and finding ways to meet life's challenges. Starting counseling can be scary. When I began my transition in 2010, I was terrified. It was difficult, but I am in a much better place mentally than I was before counseling. I became a counselor because I know how powerful it can be in other people's lives. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Sam Houston State University, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support clients through their unique journeys.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I proved a space without judgement to allow the client to explore themself. With these barriers down it allows the client to examine how they feel and determine their own needs. There is no one size fits all treatment for people.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
