Getting to know Starla Southward
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida, Texas, and Nevada, as well as a certified EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist. I have experience in helping clients struggling with adjustment issues, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, and self-esteem issues. All appointments are via telehealth in FL, NV and TX, with the option of in-person appointments in NV.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Whether you're dealing with feeling overwhelmed, having relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with empathy, compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the barriers that keep you from moving forward. I have been in the mental health for over 11 years and love watching others grow internally and externally.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
