About
Hello!
My name is Starlin "Starr" I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Connecticut. I have over 7 years of experience in social and mental health services as a bi-lingual (Spanish/English) therapist. I specialize in systemic therapeutic work with individuals, families, couples, and children. Some of my specialties areas are depression and anxiety management, trauma, ADHD, learning disabilities, healthy eating/nutrition, LGBTQIA+, life stressors and transitions, PTSD, family problems, etc. I am also a trauma certified, Gottman level one, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed therapist. I often work with diverse populations from different social classes, ethnic and multi-generational backgrounds, and immigration statuses.
In 2013 I earned an Associate's degree in Behavioral Science and Human Services from Northwestern Community College, in 2016 a B.S. in Human Development & Family Studies from the University of Connecticut, and in 2019 an M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Central Connecticut State University. Currently, I'm in the process of finishing a Ph.D. in Couple and Family Therapy.
During my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, visiting family in the Caribbean, and participating in community-based activities to assist underrepresented populations. Also, mental and physical health are essential to me --including exercises that promote physical and mental wellness in my daily routine has made profound internal and external changes in my life.
I'm looking forward to our time together and helping you achieve a better version of yourself. I hope we can create an inclusive, collaborative, and educational therapeutic environment during our time together!
