ABOUT US
About Us
Our therapists are trained in a variety of evidence-based treatment methods and interventions, including Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Hypnotherapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and others.
Our Approach
While venting and listening is an important part of any therapeutic relationship, we don’t sit back and let you monologue for the whole session. Many of our clients have “been there done that” type of therapy and came to us because they were craving more input from their therapist. We have an engaged style that helps you learn how to identify faulty thinking patterns, confront your fears, deal with traumas, and retrain your brain so you have the skills to manage your life well on your own.
How do we do that?
Our therapists are trained in a variety of evidence-based treatment methods and interventions, including Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Hypnotherapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)…
When you work with us, you can expect to gain insight, be supported, confronted, challenged, and have homework between sessions. This is not like the homework you had in school, but instead it’s different mental and behavioral exercises that will support our work during sessions and facilitate faster progress.
Mission Statement

Talia Filippelli
LCSW, CHHC, CPT, & Owner of STARR THERAPY
I grew up in Bergen County, New Jersey where sports played a major role in my childhood. I learned more than I realized about emotional intelligence, communication, the benefits of a team-mentality, and how to work with others to achieve a common goal.
