Our hearts are with all of the individuals, families, first responders, and communities impacted by the recent flooding across Central Texas and the Hill Country. We stand in solidarity with everyone navigating loss, disruption, and recovery.

As an agency committed to mental wellness, we also want to gently remind everyone that it’s okay to care for yourself during this time. Here are a few ways to support your emotional wellbeing:

➡️ Acknowledge your feelings—it's okay to feel overwhelmed
➡️ Connect with others or lend a hand if you're able
➡️ Breathe deeply and take mindful pauses throughout the day
➡️ Do one small thing today that brings you peace or joy
➡️ Keep your body moving in ways that feel good and grounding

You are not alone. 💛 We're here to support our community, together.

About Us

STARRY’s goal is to be a beacon of light for children, youth, and families in the midst of life’s challenges, both big and small. STARRY’s counselors, direct care workers, and case managers guide youth and families toward the hope of a better tomorrow. STARRY nurtures children, strengthens families, and restores hope by providing supportive services through trauma-informed Counseling, Family Support, Foster Care, and Adoption. Although STARRY is a Christian agency and our services are based on our Christian values, we serve people from all walks of life.

STARRY Counseling provides counseling services to families with children from birth to 17 years of age (or youth older than 17 who are still enrolled in high school in Texas) who need assistance resolving family conflict or who are facing other difficult situations with their child or teen. We provide evidence-based and promising practices through individual and family counseling, youth and parent skills groups, training, workshops, and family crisis services. All counseling services are provided at no cost to the client. Call one of our offices to learn more about our services and find out if we might be a good fit for your family.
