I have approximately 30 years of experience in virtually all clinical settings. I began my career working in a juvenile penitentiary (referred to as a 'youth development center) and after almost 6 years, left that setting and moved on to new opportunities. Along the way, I worked with group homes, foster homes, substance abuse treatment programs, and even provided treatment in a sexual offender treatment program. In 2004 I went solely into private practice and currently operate two offices. I also provided on-site services to businesses that suffer a death or other disruptive event; I have provided over 170 of these services in four states during the last several years. While you don't need any faith to see me, I also offer Christian Counseling. Finally, I am a US Army veteran and understand the challenges and needs of veterans.
I operate under a practical approach that seeks to build on a person's strengths to achieve realistic, measurable goals. I utilize primarily cognitive behavioral therapy and reality therapy to help my clients achieve their goals and to live life more fully.

Welcome — You Deserve to Feel Safe and Heard
If you’re here, you might be feeling scared to reach out.
Maybe you’re worried about being judged, or afraid you’ll end up with a therapist who only asks, “And how does that make you feel?” without truly helping.
You may be:
Feeling overwhelmed or like it’s hard to breathe.
Carrying tightness in your chest from constant worry.
Struggling with hopelessness and the sense that life is always against you.
Hearing others dismiss your pain, telling you that you’re “overreacting.”
Facing challenges in your relationship—whether it’s conflict, thoughts of divorce, or infidelity.
Working through identity concerns (gender, body image, or self-worth).
Feeling pressure to be perfect, or feeling angry, stuck, and stressed without healthy coping tools.
If any of this resonates with you, I want you to know: you are not alone, and help is possible. Together, we can create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered to heal.
My name is Michael Starr, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I believe therapy is more than just problem-solving, it’s a place to rediscover who you are, heal what’s been hidden, and move forward with clarity and strength. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity questions, and emotional overwhelm.
My style is honest, grounded, and deeply respectful of the human experience. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, but I also hold space for what cannot always be explained, your story, your meaning, your growth.
Clients often come to me feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we uncover the patterns keeping you there and build the insight, skills, and resilience to move through them. You won’t be rushed or judged. You’ll be heard, supported, and challenged when needed.
You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to start. Healing begins with one honest conversation, and I’m here to take that step with you.
The path to health and wellness is different for each of us. Having a safe space to process our experiences and emotions can be the pivotal turning point we need to gain the satisfaction, and fulfillment we so desperately crave. While every journey is unique, the desired goal is generally universal: implementing meaningful change toward a deeper awareness of ourselves as we navigate life's challenges. Together, we can find your path and walk it together.
My therapy style is reflective, warm, and attentive, as you and I work together to determine the best course of action that will illicit the changes necessary to reach the desired outcome.
Authenticity and increased self awareness are my signs that the therapeutic process is conducive to the healing, and processing necessary to ignite this powerful change. I work with individuals, aged 8+, with specialization in anxiety, depression, whole health and wellness, and substance use. If you feel we could be a good match, reach out!
