Tamara Starling
About
Welcome, welcome! I'm Dr. Tamara Starling, a licensed psychologist in Texas. I live and work in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I am trained as a school psychologist, which means I started my career by asking a simple question: ‘What does this person need in order to thrive?’. That question still guides me today. I'm happiest when someone leaves our work together saying, "That finally makes sense." My goal is to be a steady, curious, and kind partner as you get to know yourself better.
I became a psychologist because I kept meeting people whose strengths were being overlooked. Adults often tell me they've spent years working twice as hard just to keep up. I've seen how much relief, and how much energy, comes from a clear and respectful explanation. Offering them an accurate answer, and a new way to see themselves, is the most meaningful part of my work.
I take time to hear your story, explain each step in plain language, and share results in a way that names your strengths first, then connects those strengths to practical supports that fit your life. I also bring a lens shaped by my professional service in culturally responsive and equitable practice, so you feel respected for your whole identity. You are the expert on your own experience, and I treat our work as a partnership.
