STAR outlines our approach to supporting the people we serve. It stands for Seek, Treat, Apply, and Reclaim what’s rightfully yours. Seeking support is the step you take to partner with us to tackle your goals. Treat refers to the support you receive from your therapist in which evidenced based practices are used to support the development of skills and techniques. Apply is your application of skills in day to day life. Reclaiming what’s rightfully yours is the end goal. It represents you taking back your authority, whether it was something you lost or was taken away. 

Adult, adolescent, and clinician services are all virtual. Children (6-10 years) are in person only and have a limited amount of slots available.

Session length will vary between 45-60 minutes. The length of time is dependent upon your developmental age and severity of presenting issues. This is something we will discuss in our first few sessions.

We will meet on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis. The cadence of sessions is dependent upon the severity of presenting issues. This is something we will discuss in our first few sessions.

The amount of sessions will vary and be dependent upon your individual needs, severity of presenting issues, consistency in attendance, application of skills/tools, homework, and other materials used to assist you in reaching your goals.

The first session we want to know more about you and what you want to get out of therapy. We will also discuss the length of sessions, how often we will meet, and review policies.
