Inclusive therapy for LGBQ+ and Trans and Gender Expansive Folx
Welcome!
We are so glad youβre here.
Life is hard enough, thereβs no reason seeking support through therapy should make it any more difficult. As a part of the LGBTQ+ and Queer community, we understand the unique challenges we face living in Texas in our current political landscape.
We are founded on the belief that therapy should be a place you feel safe, seen, and connected. Whether this is your first time in therapy, or youβve been in therapy before; in the therapy space youβre the expert on you. Our role is to use the therapeutic relationship to heal attachment wounds; explore your past, present, and future; and to help you not be so hard on yourself as you navigate life in our chaotic world.
Heartlines Counseling is an inclusive and affirming therapy practice located in Austin, Texas, and we can see anyone located in Texas as all sessions are held virtually via telehealth.
βThe most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.
These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.β

Hereβs the thing
We welcome folx of all backgrounds and abilities. Therapy is a vulnerable and oftentimes challenging process and we acknowledge that the systems that surround us are complicated and flawed. To ensure we are doing our part to further social change, we are committed to anti-racism, social justice, and the work we do is body-positive, sex-positive, neurodivergent friendly, and trauma responsive.
The therapist behind Heartlines Counseling is Erica Heller, LCSW, LCDC. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, I believe in the importance of recognizing our strengths that have brought us here and helped us to survive thus far. Regardless of what your history may look like, your future here will be met with sincerity and compassion. As humans we have the ability to feel, grow, change, and continue to move forward.
