Feeling burnt out, unfulfilled, uninspired, and/or just not good? Looking for a holistic approach to therapy that will allow you to get back on your feet again and live a life you can be fully present for? Are you struggling with chronic stress, anxiety, and depression? Are past traumas and unhelpful patterns showing up in your jobs, relationships and other areas of your life? Let's work together to create a plan for you to be able to navigate your unique circumstances. Now offering business coaching to navigate hurdles that show up as a business owner.

I provide trauma-informed person-centered therapy. Additionally the modalities I like to work with are EMDR, IFS, existential, the use of mindfulness & somatic therapy. Whatever your therapeutic goal is, let's work together to determine what will be most helpful to you.

I will listen to your story and provide a space for you to process heavy emotions, trauma, grief, and other challenges that may come up. I understand that traditional talk therapy can feel scary, intimidating, and/or unknown if you haven't experienced it which is why I offer other options. Reach out and let's discuss your goals and what works best for you!

Bianca Massi

Bianca Massi

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


My path to becoming a mental health provider grew out of a combination of personal experience, professional curiosity, and a deep desire to help others feel empowered in their own lives. Early experiences with trauma shaped the way I understand healing, resilience, and the importance of having support during life’s most overwhelming moments. While challenging, those experiences ultimately planted the seed for what would become my career.

I am deeply interested in the ways people adapt, survive, and make meaning out of hardship. This led me to pursue formal training in trauma-informed care and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, along with a commitment to ongoing continuing education. Over more than a decade of practice, I have supported individuals navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, family violence, grief, and major life transitions.

Star Hess-Cabarle

Star Hess-Cabarle

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


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.
