If you are a woman ready for more happiness, more peace, & a greater sense of choice, I am here to guide you on your way. Your depression, anxiety, or relationship challenges may be signals that something greater is around the corner.

I work with women who feel even just a slight spark of knowing that this path might be available. We may start with mindfulness & how to cope with the effects of trauma and depression so you can thrive.

Welcome! And thank you! I love to work with Couples, Families, and individuals who are seeking to overcome barriers in their lives. Some are struggling with: * anger management, * addiction, * Jobs stress, * familial & social relationships issues, * loneliness, * anxiety, * current or past abuse * depression, * poor communication, * relationship issues, * parenting, * Trauma/Traumatic events * poor focus and attention, * low motivation, * veterans support, * VICTIM OF A VIOLENT CRIME (VOC),* and the search for purpose. Often many people are stuck in addictive self-destructive patterns in their lives, which result from an effort to manage their emotional pain.

For a long time I have desired to bring wellness to our people with simple access. As the concept of mental health is finally gaining the audience it deserves I realize there is a missing piece. You don't have to be "not well" or "not functioning" to have a therapist or coach to help you through challenging times or humps. My goal is always to support you in reaching your own optimal functioning. What is to be acknowledged is that this means something different for each of us individually. Let's not be compared to the masses yet rather to our own self. I strive to create an environment where you can BE...WELL...STRONG...LOVED...YOU!

Are you in search of someone that is able to culturally-empathize, and have the capacity to meet you where you are in life? Often times we are unsure on next steps to take when dealing with life stressors. My core belief is that everyone possesses the resiliency needed to overcome such barriers. Face it we get in our own way sometimes! Individual therapy can help you face some of those conflicts head on. Whether it be professional, or personal struggles, it is my hope to assist you with identifying what's been holding you back. " Nothing you been through shall be wasted" T.J. Jakes

My name is Nicole Starr and I thank you for reading my profile! I have worked as a therapist for over 20 years, and my goal is to help you see things in a new/different way; to help you find a fulfilling relationship with yourself first and with others. To help you explore perspectives that may bring some relief to the pressures of being the best version of yourself in an ever-changing world. To offer support and insight as you seek a higher level of living while crafting and creating a balanced and healthy whole person.

Mental health often dictates a person’s overall well-being. Our perception of ourselves, our families, community and world allow us to experience the gift of life in its entirety or we can find ourselves struggling and limiting what life has to offer. Being a psychologist allows me to help people understand themselves and to create the best version of themselves; which often leads to good experiences and a fulfilling lifestyle. I appreciate the opportunity to connect with people and explore who they are and what they want out of life.
