About this Birdie

Hi, I’m Heidi Zimmerman. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, wife, mother, friend, runner, yogi, retailer, and coffee aficionado. I am passionate about the clients I serve and the work I do with them. My emotionality and empathy make me a great counselor, mother, and friend. I run a private counseling practice called Birds of a Feather Wellness & Counseling in Cypress, Texas. Helping others is an incredibly rewarding profession, and one I truly feel called to do!

Up until now, this blog page functioned as my writing outlet to catalog day-to-day experiences as a counselor, wife, mother, and friend. I called my blog A Mama Bear and Her Cubs, which is why the web address still bears the original name.  Moving forward as I’m expanding my practice and marketing approach, I’m pivoting and focusing my time in this space on realistic, tangible wellness ideas you can integrate into your daily life. I will be writing from a place of expertise as a professional counselor but will continue to blend in aspects of my life as a wife, mother, runner, and yogi. 

So without further ado, allow me to invite you into the Birds of a Feather Wellness community. I look forward to sharing insight that will allow you to spread your wings and soar to your highest potential in life!


Welcome to Birds of a Feather Wellness & Counseling. The namesake for Birds of a Feather evolved from the well-known idiom, “birds of a feather, flock together.” This phrase encompasses our ultimate goal as a wellness and counseling practice: to bring clients together in community.

Holistic wellness and personal development are at the heart of what drives my counseling practice. I hope to empower clients to honor their strengths and gifts as they strive to improve their weaknesses on their path to achieving authenticity and purpose in life. I encourage movement as it is such an integral part of your overall health and wellness.

Birds of a Feather offers specialized counseling services tailored to your unique wellness and counseling goals. Through personal development group courses, individual, couples, and family counseling, and college planning, I offer purposeful and intentional guidance to help you find balance in your busy life. My client focus and expertise centers around therapy for tweens, adolescents, athletes, and women. Incorporating aspects of wellness into each session allows you to spread your wings and soar to new heights as you reach your full potential in life.

We live in an incredibly demanding, fast-paced world that often pulls us in so many different directions. Oftentimes this pull proves to be utterly exhausting and makes time for personal development and growth incredibly difficult. Our hope is that through our wellness and counseling services, you find solace, support, and solidarity that allows you to become the most authentic and fulfilled version of yourself.
