What Our Patients Say

“When we first started the evaluation process for my teenage daughter, I was honestly hesitant. I worried it would feel clinical and maybe even label her unfairly. But working with Dr. Starleaf and her team changed everything. The process was so thoughtful and validating—for both of us. Not only did we walk away with a clear diagnosis, but we also received incredibly helpful documentation that led to strong accommodations at her school. Most importantly, my daughter feels understood for the first time in a long time. I’m beyond grateful.”
-Anonymous parent of teenage daughter, age 15
“My child has been working with one of Dr. Starleaf’s clinicians for ADHD, and the transformation in our home has been night and day. We used to have constant power struggles around routines and schoolwork, but now there’s much more peace and cooperation. His impulse control, time management, and overall organization have all improved significantly. The therapist not only connected with him, but also gave us practical tools to support him. It’s been life-changing for our family.”
- Anonymous parent of child, age 12
“I spent most of my life feeling like I didn’t quite fit in, and no one could explain why. Going through testing with Dr. Starleaf’s team was the first time I felt truly seen. The evaluation wasn’t about what was ‘wrong’ with me—it was about understanding how I think, what I’m good at, and where I need support. The ASD diagnosis made so much of my past make sense, and thanks to the thorough and compassionate recommendations, I’ve since secured workplace accommodations and found clinicians I actually connect with. For the first time, I feel hopeful about what’s ahead.”
- Anonymous patient, age 22
“From the moment I reached out to Starleaf Psychological Services, I felt supported. The admin team is warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful. They guided me through every step—from paperwork to scheduling—and made what could’ve been an overwhelming process feel manageable. They didn’t just point me in a direction—they gave me a clear road map to the care my family needed. You can tell everyone here genuinely cares.”
- Anonymous parent of child, age 8
