I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over four years of clinical experience working with adolescents and adults. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe exploring their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences.
My therapeutic approach is client-centered and grounded in evidence-based practices, particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Together, we work to identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors while developing practical tools to manage challenges and improve overall well-being.
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety and stress-related concerns (including social anxiety and panic), depression, self-esteem and identity challenges, relationship difficulties and boundary setting, academic or career stress, and patterns such as overthinking and negative thought cycles.
My goal is to empower clients with the insight and skills needed to navigate challenges and create meaningful, lasting change.
Throughout the therapy process, I focus on building resilience, increasing self-awareness, and supporting personal growth. I believe that everyone has the capacity for change and healing. I am committed to helping clients develop practical strategies and a deeper understanding of themselves so they can move forward with confidence and resilience.

Frederick S. Starr, MD, FAACAP, is a computational neuroscientist who has been active in the fields of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) and neurofeedback since 1990. He sees patients at Myneurva Brain Centers in Hackensack, New Jersey.
Dr. Starr formally began integrating neurofeedback into clinical practice in 2003 and went on to pioneer large-scale Remote Neurofeedback in 2006, expanding access to innovative brain-based therapies well before telehealth became mainstream. As the founder of Myneurva Holdings, DE, he is also the inventor of a novel system and method for collecting and analyzing EEG data, for which he was awarded a U.S. Patent in 2020.
His professional mission is deeply personal. His eldest daughter, Anna, suffered from medication-resistant epilepsy, and her condition inspired his lifelong commitment to advancing brain imaging and neurofeedback technologies for individuals with complex neurological and psychiatric disorders. After Anna’s tragic passing from a fatal seizure in 2008, he embarked on a profound personal journey that took him from northern Maine to Hawaii, the Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica. These experiences broadened his understanding of the global burden of mental illness and strengthened his resolve to develop more accessible, effective solutions.
Over the course of his career, Dr. Starr has been recognized as one of the “Fifty Pioneers in Neurofeedback” by peers in the field for his role in innovating remote neurofeedback delivery.
Dr. Starr earned his MD from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and completed postgraduate training at Columbia University, Boston University Medical Center (Adult Psychiatry), and Vanderbilt University (Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Chief Fellow).
Dr. Starr lives in New Jersey with his wife and three daughters. An avid ocean sports enthusiast, he enjoys sharing his love of the sea with his family. He also speaks Spanish, studies Mandarin, and has a deep interest in international cuisine and ancient history.

“For some reason I thought I had an appointment with Neurologist Dr. Patel. His qualifications were impressive on the website. When I arrived I was told that Dr. Patel was in New York not in Boca Raton. I was told that I would see Sharit Sigalit. I asked if she was a neurologist and was told yes. I explained to Dr. Sigalit that my right hand occasionally shakes involuntarily. I was given nerve tests and a cap on my head test. I was then told I had to get a Brain DaTscan never being told what the current tests I took revealed or what the Brain DaTscan was for. When I came home I looked up Dr. Shavit was not a neurologist but a nurse. I check with Rayus who was recommended to do the Brain DaTscan and was told it involved at least 40 minutes flat on my back. I explained that if I am in that position it is extremely painful for me and I could not stay still as required so I do not want to take it unless I can be in a sitting position. The representative said that was the only way I could do it. Since I have done research and learned the result would not be certain. So I will not take the test.
I have an appointment with the nurse for April 13th at 1:30 pm which now I wish to cancel. I also request that the results of the tests done be sent to me..

Utilizing basic psychotherapy, I meet clients at their level of need, helping to set and achieve practical goals for treatment. In most cases, I work with your current therapist to provide medication management but also love to utilize more holistic approaches to care. While medication management is my niche, I also love to work with clients who are open to complimentary therapy.
I am a doctorate prepared psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with experience working in forensics, long term care and both inpatient and outpatient mental healthcare. Treatment areas include severe and persistent mental illnesses (SPMIs), anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders and personality disorders.
Humans are complex, so beyond medication management, you can expect to learn more about stress management and coping, nutrition, sleep hygiene, trauma, comorbid disorders and family structure/dynamics.
I invite you to take the next steps towards your mental wellbeing.
