Great to Meet You

I'm Starr Fox, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) dedicated to helping individuals feel supported and empowered in their mental health journey. I specialize in medication management and psychotherapy, working with concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and mood disorders. My approach is holistic and evidence-based, considering biological, emotional, and lifestyle factors in treatment planning. I integrate techniques like CBT, supportive therapy, and motivational interviewing alongside medication when appropriate. I provide telehealth services, offering accessible and personalized care in a compassionate, collaborative environment.

My Approach to Care

My approach to care is collaborative, holistic, and grounded in evidence-based practice, focusing on each client's unique experiences and goals. I integrate medication management and psychotherapy to create comprehensive, individualized treatment plans. When appropriate, I use medication thoughtfully while incorporating approaches like CBT, supportive therapy, and motivational interviewing. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on creating a safe and trusting environment. Ultimately, I aim to empower clients with the tools and support needed to improve their mental health and overall well-being.

What You Can Expect

During your first session, you can expect a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where your comfort and safety are prioritized. We'll begin with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to understand your concerns, history, and overall well-being. Together, we'll identify your treatment goals and discuss possible diagnoses and care options. If appropriate, we'll review therapy approaches and medication options collaboratively so you feel informed and comfortable. By the end, we'll have an initial plan and clear next steps, with the goal of helping you feel heard and supported.
