Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Carrollton, GA

Hello my name is Star're (star-rae). As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Holistic Therapist I am passionate about teaching holistic wellness in practical ways that make it easy to incorporate into your daily routine to support your healing journey and overall well-being (mind, body, and spirit). My work is rooted in empowering my clients with the tools and resources that promote their self-healing and growth as I guide and encourage them along the way.

Rooted in a collaborative and affirming approach, I specialize in working with athletes, students, and high achievers who are navigating challenges such as perfectionism, self-esteem, anxiety, and communication. My practice centers on supporting girls and women in building confidence, strengthening self-esteem, and redefining what success means on their own terms.

Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Techniques and other evidenced based practices, I assist those seeking a brand-new start to let go and accept their past so that they can invest in their future. While having a Doctorate of Education in Counseling Psychology, has provided me with the education to engage in expert counseling strategies, it has been the 20 years of hands on experience that has given me the emotional tools to help those take that first step to a new beginning.
