Getting to know Sandra Starnes
Hi, I’m Sandra Starnes, a dedicated and compassionate therapist (LPC and LCDC) with a passion for helping individuals and families navigate the challenges of mental health and addiction. With a strong belief in the power of healing relationships and personal resilience, I work with clients of all ages—from children and teens to adults and older adults.
I specialize in supporting individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and life transitions. Whether you’re facing personal challenges, relationship difficulties, or the impacts of addiction, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your experiences and move toward growth and recovery.
My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. For clients in recovery, I understand the importance of meeting you where you are, and I provide support that respects your pace and your goals.
I am deeply committed to helping children, adolescents, and families build healthier coping skills, enhance communication, and foster emotional well-being. My work with youth includes emotional regulation techniques and support for ADHD and behavioral challenges.
Whether you’re reaching out for yourself, your child, or a loved one, I am here to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and clinical expertise. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

More information on payments and coverage
After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit. Per our office policies, a fee may be charged for missed appointments or late cancellations.
