More about Star

  • 10 years' experience

  • LMHC

Hello! My name is Star, and I began my mental health counseling career in 2016. My primary interests are working with trauma, substance use disorders, and general mental health and wellness. I also hold a Master's degree in exercise and nutrition sciences and I am a NASM certified personal trainer, so I believe that the mind and body are connected and contribute to overall health and wellness! I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, finding what works best for each individual client. This means that I consider all aspects of a person's life and well-being, not just their mental health symptoms. I am trained in diversity and inclusion and take a nonjudgmental stance in my professional practice, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and understood in our sessions.

My main therapeutic modalities include Humanistic, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Strategies for Self-Improvement and Change, and Seeking Safety. These approaches allow me to tailor our work together to your unique needs and goals. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or any other challenge, we will work collaboratively to find the best path forward for you.

I specialize in a wide range of areas, including addiction, ADHD, anger management, antisocial behavior, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, depression, family relationships, grief and bereavement, intimate and romantic relationships, LGBTQIA+ support, military and veteran support, multicultural and diversity issues, narcissistic personality disorder, OCD, phobias, PTSD, sex and intimacy issues, stress, and trauma. I also offer SonderMind Video Telehealth for those who prefer or require remote sessions.

In our sessions, you can expect a warm, empathetic, and supportive environment where your voice is heard and valued. My goal is to help you navigate life's challenges and achieve a greater sense of well-being and fulfillment. If you're ready to take the next step in your mental health journey, I would be honored to work with you. Let's find what works best for you together.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
