Getting to know Heather Sylvester

Hello, I am Heather, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas with a Master’s in Social Work from Stephen F. Austin State University. I have experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, LGBTQ+ related issues, trauma and abuse, and various mood disorders. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths to assist you in overcoming challenges. Taking the first step toward a happier life takes courage, and I am here to support you in that process. I am an empathetic, empowering, and direct therapist who believes in meeting clients where they are and providing tools, skills, and knowledge to help achieve their goals. I have worked with people from a wide variety of backgrounds and identities. I also believe therapy should be as accessible as possible to anyone seeking it, and I am proud to offer therapeutic services to support that mission.

After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit. Per our office policies, a fee may be charged for missed appointments or late cancellations.
