Therapy that fits the person
Therapy (psychotherapy) gives you dedicated time with a trained professional to work through what’s on your mind — whether that’s a specific challenge, a difficult season of life, or patterns you’d like to change. Sessions are confidential, collaborative and paced around you.
Our therapists come from a wide range of backgrounds and draw on several evidence-based approaches, so your care is shaped around your goals rather than a single method. Together, you’ll set goals, build practical skills and check in on progress along the way.
Eligibility: NorthStar currently provides therapy to adults 18 and older.
Getting started is simple
- Free consultation. A short call with our team to answer questions, check insurance and talk through what you’re looking for.
- Get matched with a therapist. We pair you with a therapist whose experience and approach fit your goals and schedule.
- Your first session. A relaxed conversation about what brings you in and what you’d like to get out of therapy. You’ll leave with a sense of the plan ahead.
- Ongoing sessions. Usually weekly or every other week, about 50 minutes each, in person or by secure video. Your therapist adjusts the pace as you go.
