Natasha is very laid back in sessions and will work to make you feel comfortable so that we can begin to build trust and hopefully have a positive therapeutic relationship.

The environment and tone are warm, inviting, and comfortable, allowing you to express yourself freely.

I work from the premise that people are relational beings. First and foremost I focus on where you are and what you need at any given moment. The therapeutic relationship has the power to be transforming, and I see my role as being a facilitator in your growth and evolution as a person. Reach out now and let's get started!

Connection in relationship is as important for us as food and water. When relationships weaken or rupture, mental health challenges can emerge. The emotional wounds that result deserve the same care and attention as physical ones, and healing can begin right now. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a master’s degree in community and trauma counseling. I am trained in evidence-based approaches that support trauma recovery and help strengthen relationships. I work with individuals, couples, and families, and my goal is to help clients create meaning, deepen connection, and move toward healing in their lives. At the heart of my work is the belief that the therapeutic relationship itself can be a powerful catalyst for change. Every person’s story is unique, and I approach each client with hope, curiosity, and deep respect for their experiences. Therapy with me is a collaborative process. Together, we’ll build trust, explore difficult emotions and patterns, and make space for new insight and growth. While I can’t promise specific outcomes, I can promise to walk alongside you, working toward greater connection with yourself and the people who matter most to you.

Does your child struggle with stress and anxiety? Is it difficult for him or her to make positive choices, manage emotions or perform in school? Teenagers and young adults face unique challenges in life, and it can be very overwhelming for them and you, the parent. I work with adolescents and young adults, ages 12-25, to help them understand stress and anxiety. We work together to overcome their obstacles and self-doubts; helping them focus on building positive thinking and behaviors to achieve their life goals. Together, your child and I focus on his or her role in overcoming setbacks, embracing challenges, and utilizing skills like optimism, resilience and grit to achieve his or her ideal self. I employ positive psychology and solution-focused counseling to help your child set priorities, identify goals, and develop strategies for emotional and mental well-being. I understand the difficulties our young adults face everyday and I know each individual is capable of achieving their goals with proper supports! Contact me at MBS Performance Counseling today in order to help your son or daughter take the first step to setting priorities, creating positive thoughts and discovering the amazing things they can accomplish!

At Starobin Counseling we focus on helping people repair and strengthen their relationships with themselves and their relationships with others. We regard relationships as central to the therapeutic process. Some challenges in life are purely personal, but most problems express themselves in the intersections people have with other people. Therapy helps people repair their inner selves, often injured by relational ruptures, and learn and practice being in relational health with one another. Therapy helps people hear themselves think, experience feelings, gain new perspectives. We help people recognize and strengthen their own vitality and resiliency so they can unlock their capacity for compassionate and meaningful connections. We are a neurodiversity-minded, neurodiversity-affirming, gender-affirming, and culturally aware and sensitive practice.

I have a deep regard and respect for a person who is on a healing journey. I look at each person individually. You come with your own unique life experiences and health goals. Through assessment and goal setting, we come up with your own unique treatment plan. My belief is we are total system and my approach is to support you in a Holistic matter; Body, Mind, and Spirit; using powerful tools, skill building, and compassion. My goal is to be a partner for you to achieve well-being.

My approach to therapy is down-to-earth, practical, and solution-oriented. As a clinical psychologist I have extensive training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and have seen many clients improve using these techniques. I have helped people overcome their problems in a variety of settings including hospitals, university counseling centers, community health clinics, and schools.

I work collaboratively with my clients to help them learn new coping skills, create positive changes, and attain the goals they have for themselves. My clients view me as supportive, nonjudgmental, and practical. I work with professionals, including MDs and attorneys, as well as stay-at-home moms and students. I specialize in helping people manage anxiety and stress, perfectionism, self-esteem issues, codependency and relationship concerns, and depression. I also support clients who are navigating in vitro fertilization (IVF) and a challenging fertility journey. I help my clients create a more balanced, meaningful, and fun life for themselves. This can include managing negative self-talk, learning to be more assertive and set boundaries, and re-evaluating self-care.

Maybe you're a new parent wondering why this doesn't feel the way you expected. Maybe anxiety has been running the show for so long you've forgotten what calm feels like. Or maybe you're in the middle of a life transition — a move, a career shift, a relationship change — and you just need someone in your corner. I'm Shelby, and I get it. I specialize in working with women, couples, and individuals who are navigating the messy, overwhelming parts of life — especially the transition to parenthood, relationship struggles, and those seasons when everything feels uncertain. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in your strengths. I'm not here to fix you — you're not broken. I'm here to help you reconnect with yourself, build skills that actually work, and find your footing again. We'll use mindfulness, practical tools, and honest conversation to help you move from surviving to thriving. I offer telehealth sessions across DC, MD, VA, NY, and FL. If you're ready to feel like yourself again, I'd love to hear from you.

My approach to therapy and coaching is rooted in curiosity, courage, and compassion. I help clients uncover limiting inner beliefs about themselves and explore their emotional patterns. I am interested in empowering individuals with insights, intentionality, and tools to help create more productive narratives—whether in their careers, relationships, or personal lives. I use my training in counseling psychology, clinical social work, and master certified professional coaching as a stepping stone toward emotional growth.
