Services Offered

Counseling

Both therapists and psychiatrists play an important role in providing quality care. The therapist's primary role is counseling while psychiatrists are medical doctors who focus on diagnostics and can prescribe necessary medications. Although there are some differences, the goal of the therapist and psychiatrist is the same - to improve the quality of life for each and every patient.

Individual and Group Therapy

Porter-Starke Services has a team of masters-level, licensed therapists, each with their own unique specialties. When you come to Porter-Starke Services, you can feel confident that you will be linked with the mental health clinician who best meets your needs.
