Starla Berwick

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 30 years of experience supporting women, children, and families through trauma, crisis, major life transitions, and relationship challenges. I earned both my BSW and MSW from the University of Texas at Arlington, and much of my career has been spent serving in faith‐based communities and the child welfare system. Four years ago, I became independently licensed so I could offer more accessible and approachable mental‐health care to people who may feel uncertain or overwhelmed by traditional therapy settings. My style is warm, creative, solution‐focused, and direct, helping clients gain clarity and make meaningful, practical changes. I am committed to providing a safe, supportive space where people can heal, grow, and navigate life with confidence.

Therapist

Relationships are complicated. We all need someone to occasionally help us make sense of our current situation. Women face unique issues and experiences. Motherhood, work & school issues, family conflict, & other problems can add up.

College students, I see you. It can be overwhelming to be in college while trying to figure out what you want your life to look like on the other side. College life is unlike anything you've experienced so far. Personal therapy can help you cope, reduce anxiety/depression, or deal with childhood trauma. Flexible scheduling is available.

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 Texas

Searching for therapists in Texas starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across a state as large and varied as Texas, therapy needs and available therapists can differ across urban, suburban, and rural areas. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience to see whether their background matches your needs. Some therapists may use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, while others may focus on specific populations or concerns.

Location and format also matter when comparing Texas therapists. In larger areas like Houston, Dallas, and Austin, you may have many choices, while other parts of the state may have fewer local options. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility or easier access from home. As you narrow your search, look at appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how they describe their style, what sessions may feel like, and whether their communication approach fits your preferences.

The cost of therapy in Texas can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Texas therapists who match your preferences, accept your insurance, and are ready to take new patients. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
