Getting to know Adriann Starnes
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with more than a decade of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from San José State University and my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California. I am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Mental Health Leadership at USC.
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. I strive to create a safe, affirming space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported. I work with clients experiencing trauma, relationship and family concerns, behavioral challenges, life transitions, and emotional distress.
I believe meaningful change begins with understanding the experiences and patterns that shape our lives. Together, we work to build insight, strengthen resilience, and create lasting change.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can truly be yourself and feel heard, understood, and supported. I’ll take the time to get to know you, your experiences, and what matters most to you rather than approaching therapy with a one-size-fits-all mindset. My style is warm, compassionate, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. We’ll work together at a pace that feels comfortable while gently exploring patterns, building greater self-understanding, and finding meaningful ways to help you move toward the changes you want to make.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I start by getting to know you and creating a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what feels most important right now, and what you hope to gain from our work together. As we move forward, we’ll explore patterns, experiences, and challenges at a pace that feels right for you while building practical tools and greater self-understanding. I’ll continue checking in along the way so our work stays supportive, meaningful, and connected to your goals.
