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.

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.
