Getting to know Heather Watkins
Hi, I'm Heather.
Do you want to strive to be your best self? Are the stresses of life making you feel overwhelmed? Are you struggling to feel happy and find meaning in your life?
I empower individuals to become the best version of themselves. Together, we can create a plan to help change your life for the better. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, life changes, or past trauma or abuse, I'm here to help.
Reaching out for help can feel scary, but it's the first step to change, and I am here to understand your unique experience. I believe you have within yourself the ability to be who you want to be; however, you might need an extra push, a different perspective, or to learn and practice new skills to get there. I tailor therapy to each individual and incorporate evidence-based techniques to help you overcome the habits and thoughts that have you feeling stuck.
I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at Tyler, which equips me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively.
I look forward to working with you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
After our first initial counseling session, we will begin to work toward your individual therapy goals. This will look different for everyone depending on your current issues, goals, and any preferences you might have. We may be working on identifying and changing the thoughts and beliefs you hold that cause you to feel hopeless, stressed, or angry. We could be working toward healing your past traumas using a trauma-focused approach. Whatever your goals are, after working with me, you should be making good progress toward them. You will learn healthy coping skills, better habits, and more positive, realistic beliefs about yourself and others.

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.
