Welcome! My name is Annetta Starr. I have a Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from University of Louisiana at Monroe. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana. I have worked in the counseling field since 2015 helping clients find success with managing their needs. Some clients need help with anxiety and others need help with addictions. We all have needs. I believe that we each have a responsibility to ourselves to make sure that our basic needs are met, because when we do, we find ourselves functioning at our best and living more fully.
My counseling approach is more humanistic/client centered, as I believe that we as individuals already possess the qualities that we need to live fully. I encourage and utilize curiosity, intuition, creativity, humility, and empathy in individualized therapy sessions to help clients close the gap between where they are right now and where they want to be in the future.
If you choose to make a commitment to work on meeting your needs, I will commit myself to helping you. I will not give up on you. Taking personal responsibility for ourselves is the first indication that clients have the strength and control to make any changes necessary to live life with fullness. Let’s work together to evaluate what you are doing, thinking, and feeling, and develop plans to help you make choices that will help you meet your needs and have success at getting what you want.

Mrs Annette is such a great person and is very knowledgeable and helps turn a negative into a positive. She is the reason I can forgive myself and not feel like the most horrible mother on earth. She listens responds and touches on when I recognize that I’ve taken responsibility for my own mistakes. This lady is great at what she does. Thanks for having her on your team and I’m so thankful that I got her to be my helper through some of the hardest times of my life

Having a session with Ms. Starr was really helpful, in that just talking through issues with her and getting non-judgmental feedback made me feel better - as did her noting things I was dealing with in a healthy way. I also really appreciate that she checks in with messages periodically and we can correspond that way and has sent me additional electronic resources. I find that sometimes just summarizing what's going on after taking stock of things is really helpful, and her replies are positive and caring - just what one needs when they are, well, out of sorts.

Annetta is the consummate professional in her sessions. Her primary focus is on ensuring that I am able to say what I need to say. This allows her to do what she does exceedingly well, which is hammer at the root of the issue.

Annetta was the second counselor that I tried out and I was immediately impressed with her empathy and her flexibility to meet my specific needs (in terms of how and when our sessions were held). She brings me insights that I find super useful, and urges me to think of my past in a different way. She's been a great guide and I look forward to continuing to work with her.
