About Starla
Starla Hedrick is an LCSW who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and self-esteem concerns. She draws on 17 years of experience in California to offer steady, practical support during difficult life transitions.
She focuses on everyday tools that make life more manageable. Sessions often include building coping skills, improving communication, and addressing family-of-origin patterns that affect current relationships. She also helps people handle major changes like caregiving roles, chronic illness, or end-of-life planning.
Starla has a long history of working with older adults and with people living with chronic pain or long-term health issues. She also supports those dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace stress, and substance use concerns. Her background includes helping people in blended family situations and navigating complicated family dynamics.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens carefully, then helps clients try practical steps and skills between sessions. Many people find this hands-on approach useful when they need clear, manageable ways to cope.
Starla believes therapy is a partnership. She aims to create a respectful space where clients feel heard and can practice new ways of handling problems. To begin, people are guided through a short intake process and can schedule sessions based on availability.
