Therapist

Hello, I’m Star. I am a Licensed Mental Health and Addictions Counselor and am currently returning to school to pursue a Master’s Degree in Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, with the goal of holistically integrating mental and physical well-being. I graduated from the University of Colorado in 2016 with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health.

I began my counseling career working and volunteering in drug rehabilitation centers and community mental health centers and later gained experience within the criminal justice system through work in county jails and the Colorado state prison system, where I have been practicing since 2016.

My primary interests include working with trauma, substance use disorders, and general mental health and wellness, with an emphasis on movement and proper nutrition due to their impact on how we think and feel. I prefer a holistic approach, focusing on finding what works best for each individual client. I am trained in diversity and inclusion and utilize a person-centered approach in my professional practice.

My motto is, “You can’t pour from an empty cup,” and my goal is to help clients fill their cups so they can be more present for themselves and their loved ones.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Lauderdale

Searching for therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with knowing what kind of support you want. A therapist may help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare Fort Lauderdale therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. Their bio can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what you can expect in a session.

Fort Lauderdale has a broad mental health care community, with options across neighborhoods like Victoria Park, Las Olas, and nearby areas in Broward County. Your search may include in-person appointments near home or work, virtual sessions that fit your schedule, or a mix of both. Beyond specialty, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, has appointment times that work for you, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and decide who may be a strong fit.

Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists in Fort Lauderdale, FL who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can compare bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
