India Starks
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
The human experience is one of feeling. Life is challenging and we are pushed to do it alone, to be “strong”. You don’t have to be “strong” in the therapy room with me. I believe in collaboration, I show up in the therapy room ready to tackle the problems, pains, and conundrums with you. My experience and clinical passion include but are definitely not limited to working with BIPOC, LGBTQ+, consensually nonmonogamous couples and individuals, and sex workers. I am a queer woman of color that is unwaveringly sex positive and anti-racist. We will explore and evolve how you learned to feel and perceive the world.
We will do this while acknowledging the inherent strengths you hold, while having patience for the parts of you that show up when facing challenges. I strive to help people & increase their comfort with emotional expression and regulation. You are a human being first and you don’t have to do this alone.
I help people release the shame they learned to carry. I help people increase their self compassion and reduce feelings of guilt, anxiety, and fear. I help people explore their past, present, and future. My private practice “With You Therapy” is built on doing it together. I want to do all the work involved in changing, with you!
