I am the therapist at Star Point referred to in that negative review. I helped thousands of individuals, couples, and families embrace the life they all knew they deserved. A negative review can turn away people in need of my expertise. Weigh one person's opinions against the following facts. Satisfied clients have made our business a success. I have earned a Master's Degree, been licensed by the state and stayed current with my license, learning more and more relevant tools and strategies for healing and furthering the interests of my cherished clients, by gaining a wealth of experience and expertise and by continuing my education earning 30 CEUs every two years. Yelp has good intentions but Yelp users need to weigh isolated opinions against the facts, to avoid jumping to erroneous conclusions that bar them from the quality of services provided by myself and all the other Licensed therapists and Registered Interns at the Star Point Counseling Center in Brandon and Tampa, Florida.. read more

I am currently a student at University of South Florida working on my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I also work as a receptionist at Star Point Counseling Center. Star Point is a great office to work at filled with well educated and knowledgeable counselors. It is through this experience that I am able to further my knowledge about how a private practice is run effectively and efficiently. I am lucky that I work with the co-founder, Sam Difranco, who knows a lot about insurance and who knows how to answer the difficult questions that clients often ask. I often see people that are reluctant to counseling walking out of the office happy they were getting the help they were looking for. Many people leave the office looking forward to their next visit. It is great to see what a positive effect counselors can have. I would recommend this office for counseling services. read more

I DON'T KNOW WHY YELP IS SAYING MY PREVIOUS REVIEW IS NOT RECOMMENDED. I was a customer here for a long time and wanted to let people know how they helped me. My boyfriend and I have been seeing a counselor here for 4 months, I think she is the owner, and our Counselor has helped save our relationship. My boyfriend proposed to me last Saturday, in our counseling session! I thought that was so fitting since we would not be getting married if we did not come here for counseling. The staff has been very nice to us, one time they waived the cancellation fee for us when I was sick and couldn't make my appointment. read more

I went here for couples counseling and I could not have asked for a better experience start to finish. Administrative staff was really nice and booking the appt was simple. They will text you to confirm and remind you of their appt which was really helpful. Our counselor was outstanding and made a huge difference in our relationship. I would highly recommend anyone looking for help with their marriage, family or just themselves to come here!! read more

I saw Norma at Star Point and she helped my wife and myself with some things we needed to talk to a professional about and she was amazing. Norma's knowledge and experience helped us work through our problems quickly. Sam, the owner, explained to us how our insurance changed at the beginning of the year. I am glad he took the time to explain it to us, he was very nice and understanding to talk to. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

The older woman/co founder we saw was completely unprofessional and had the nerve to judge my fiancé and i to the point of telling us we should not even be friends, instead of helping us find ways to resolve the situation. Thankfully we found someone else that is less judgy and more helpful. Go at your own risk ! They even had a previous comment of mine removed. Very sad places like this are allowed to be open. read more

I am glad I made the call to come here. It took around 7-8 sessions to realize the anger I was directing toward other people was because I was angry with myself. I read the book they recommended, Therapy in Action, and it helped me realize my anger within me was from my child hood and how I was abused. I plan on continuing to come here to fully get over all of this anger I have been carrying with me. read more
