** NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** Elizabeth earned her Masters in School Counseling from Loyola University. For 4 years she worked as a School Counselor in Baltimore, MD. She found Balance Point Wellness with the desire to offer additional time and services for children, adolescents, and their families.

My therapeutic approach combines a client-centered, strengths-based philosophy with evidence-based interventions. I believe clients are the experts of their lives and have the capacity for transformation. By focusing on their unique strengths and providing practical tools, I empower clients to navigate challenges, achieve goals, and promote positive change. My background in success coaching allows me to incorporate valuable techniques that foster personal growth and create a supportive, collaborative environment for clients to explore their potential and cultivate a greater sense of purpose.

I have been providing mental health services for children, adolescents, and adults with various mental health needs for over 12 years. I foster an environment that is sensitive to clients'/parents' needs. Clients are encouraged to openly express thoughts/feelings so that we can focus on setting goals, identifying feelings and patterns, developing healthy/positive attitudes and behaviors, and problem solving. I would be honored to work with you/your child/family to move away from distress and towards wellness and increased satisfaction and happiness!

Does your child seem down, anxious, irritable, or unable to focus? I am here to help. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 15 years of experience providing counseling to children, adolescents, and adults. My extensive experience in school-based settings has allowed me to treat a variety of concerns including anxiety, ADHD, relationship and peer issues, depression, adjustment to life changes, grief, trauma, and anger. Whether you are seeking counseling for yourself or your child, I will provide a place to feel heard, understood, and gently challenged.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or weighed down by persistent sadness? Do struggles with self-esteem or dissatisfaction with your body image seem like constant companions? Perhaps you are considering life-changing steps like weight loss surgery. If these challenges resonate with you, I want you to know that I am here to help. I understand that these issues are not just symptoms but deeply personal experiences that affect your daily life, relationships, and sense of self. I specialize in navigating these complex emotions and situations.

I primarily work from a trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral approach to help clients understand how daily thoughts fundamentally shape their emotions, behavioral patterns, and responses to life’s challenges. I believe in incorporating skills and practice into the therapy process to build distress tolerance, tackle avoidance, and reframe toxic thoughts. My approach starts with developing a personalized treatment plan with my client based on clear, measurable, meaningful goals. While I specialize in working with first responders, I enjoy treating diverse populations and have 15+ years of experience in community mental health.

Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed or challenged by life circumstances. Maybe you are experiencing emotional pain from past traumatic experiences or maybe feeling isolated, misunderstood, anxious and sad. Despite your attempts to figure things out on your own, you find yourself on the same endless cycle feeling stuck and asking these question WHY/ WHAT'S wrong with me? Are you looking for guidance, a listening ear to help you make it make sense? Do you need positive ways to cope with your current circumstances?

I believe that the journey through growth in therapy is unique to every person. I work with those that are seeking assistance through life transitions, are processing intense emotions, need space with an unbiased support, or are looking for ways to invoke mindfulness and expression. Our paths in life frequently change, along with our perceptions and experiences. Starting therapy can be intimidating, and I am here to walk this path with you. Together we will explore obstacles and what makes us who we are to provide the power to change.

My name is Jill Starr and I am a Licensed Social Worker Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland. I received my MSW at the University of Maryland at Baltimore in 1997. I have many years experience in social work working with individuals/families and children. At this time, I am most interested in working with women's mental health issues.

I not only see couples and families but individual clients as well. My style of therapy is to work from a systems approach. A form of psychotherapy that looks at how individuals are impacted by the relationships with others. I also work with clients to connect interpersonally by creating an environment that allows clients to be seen and heard. I encourage and practice self-care and self-love. I look forward to working with you.

Struggling with anxiety, depression, adhd, grief, trauma, or a major life event? I am here to help! I believe in a collaborative relationship to allow for success and true, long-lasting growth and change in your life! My clients are involved in the planning process for the course of therapy/treatment including; frequency of sessions, techniques/approaches utilized, and of course goal setting! Whether you're struggling with low mood, difficulty in relationships, anxiety, grief, or a major life change/transition...I am here to help you through this difficult time while building skills to help you toward a healthy future!

Three words that describe my style are compassionate, empowering, and holistic. I prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their inner selves and heal from within. I believe change happens when we tap into our innate power and align our mind, body, and spirit. My approach is rooted in empowerment, guiding individuals to unlock their true potential and live authentically. I draw inspiration from my clients' resilience and strength, as well as from my own journey of self-discovery and growth. I am dedicated to guiding individuals toward peace, balance, and clarity.

I believe counseling should focus on supporting the client in building a life worth living. Only you know what life "fits" you best, but it is helpful to have someone along for that journey, to point out lessons along the way! My goal is to help you identify what in your life keeps you stuck, what roles and values fulfill you, and to minimize the former while maximizing the latter. What kind of life "fits" you?
