THERAPY STYLE

Traditional talk therapies focus on our thoughts but the human experience is so much more than that. Our bodies also hold memories and stories of our lives. Anxiety, for example, may include overthinking or intrusive thoughts, but it is often accompanied by a racing heart, chest tightness, dizziness, or nausea. This is the mind-body connection at work! I utilize therapies, including Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, and Internal Family System, which are founded not just in the mind-body connection, but in the most current neuroscience. In a safe, compassionate, and supportive space, these approaches will help you heal at a cellular level and will help to the sense of safety, balance, peace, and happiness that you deserve.

TESTIMONIAL

"Finding Starr Therapy & being introduced to Hania was a God sent. I showed up feeling lonely, lost, and with severe anxiety which was affecting every aspect of my life. I was longing to be my bubbly, happy go lucky girl self that I knew was inside me. Hania graciously took me under her wing and helped nurture me back to a mentally healthy and sound state. She was the listening ear and navigator I needed to help find my way out of the dark and anxious black hole I was in. She made me feel heard, safe and cared for in every single one of our sessions. Hania provided me with the tools and guidance I needed to take control over my thoughts, helped me set boundaries with myself and others, and constantly reassured me to allow myself to feel confident and proud! Hania is passionate about helping others and you can sense it in every session. Thank you Starr Therapy for pairing me with Hania and thank you Hania for seeing the potential in me and helping me be me again."
