You were never meant to carry it alone
Anxiety. Grief. A marriage under strain. Burnout that arrived so gradually you stopped noticing it. Everyday life brings trials that are heavy to carry by yourself — and carrying them should not mean choosing between real counseling and real faith.
Why people choose Pastor's Heart
Counseling that takes your faith and what you are going through equally seriously.
Your faith is not something to work around
In a lot of counseling your faith is at best tolerated — you leave it at the door, or you spend the first month explaining why it matters. Here you can talk openly about God, Scripture, prayer and your church from the first session, because that is the point rather than a complication.
You do not have to vet them yourself
Traditional counseling makes finding the person your job: scroll the profiles, guess, and hope "faith-friendly" means something. Tell us what you are going through and what matters to you, and the matching is ours to do.
Meet privately online
You meet your counselor by secure video, from home or anywhere else private that works for you.
More than one conversation
Pastor's Heart is built for ongoing Christian counseling and support, not a single one-time conversation.
Who you will be talking to
Pastor's Heart counselors include Christian counselors and licensed Christian therapists — the right one for you depends on what you are looking for. Counseling licensure is granted state by state, so a counselor is only offered to a Texas client when their recorded licence covers Texas. We do not list individual counselor profiles on this page; your match is made after your assessment, from the counselors accepting new clients at that moment.
What Austin clients most often come for
Individual Counseling
Burnout, boundaries, identity and vocation questions in the first decade of adult working life.
Marriage Bootcamp (pre-marital)
Couples preparing to marry young or marrying far from the family and church that raised them.
Couples Counseling
Early-marriage couples doing the work before a pattern hardens rather than after.
How it works
Tell us what you are looking for
A short, confidential assessment asks what you are going through, the kind of support you want, your faith background, and when you are free.
Get matched
We match you with a counselor whose experience, faith background and availability fit what you told us — and whose licence covers your state.
Schedule your first session
Choose a time that works from your dashboard, and you will get a confirmation by email.
Meet online
Sessions are 50 minutes by secure video, from wherever you are.
Join the community, then add the support you need
The membership is the foundation. Private counseling is a level you add on top of it — so you are joining something, not buying a therapy package.

Using insurance for counseling
Insurance is a separate lane for private counseling, reviewed on its own. Your Pastor’s Heart membership stays separate from it and is not billed to insurance. Eligible counseling is delivered by an appropriately licensed provider, and what you pay depends on your own plan and benefits — which we review with you rather than quote up front.
Christian counseling for Austin
A lot of people in Austin are in the middle of something — a first serious job, a degree, a marriage in its first years, a city they have lived in for eighteen months. Pastor’s Heart offers online Christian counseling for those seasons.
Who we see in Austin
Austin clients come to Pastor's Heart for burnout and boundaries, questions about vocation and identity, early-marriage work, and the particular loneliness of building a life somewhere new. A lot of that is not a crisis — it is a season, and it benefits from a counselor who treats it as its own conversation.
When your church home is somewhere else
Many Austin residents did not grow up here, which means the people who knew you before — and the pastor you would once have called — are somewhere else. Counseling is often the first place a newcomer says any of that out loud, and your match accounts for the tradition you came from.
Common questions
I moved to Austin recently and do not have a church here. Is this still for me?
Yes. Pastor's Heart welcomes anyone open to faith-informed counseling, including people whose connection to church is currently in transition.
Are sessions available outside working hours?
Counselor availability, including weekday evenings, is part of how you are matched. Specific times depend on the counselors accepting new clients when you complete your assessment.
If you are in immediate danger, call 911. For mental health crisis support, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). Pastor's Heart is not an emergency service.
