About Us

Building strong, trusting relationships with each child is at the heart of our work. We take time to get to know each child’s unique interests, strengths, and challenges so therapy feels safe, meaningful, and fun. When children feel connected and understood, they’re more motivated to communicate—and that’s where real progress begins.

At Starling Therapy, we believe in supporting the whole child and their development. Communication is deeply connected to how a child moves, feels, and interacts with the world—so we take a holistic approach that integrates sensory and motor play into therapy sessions. This not only helps build essential language and speech skills, but also supports regulation, engagement, and confidence.

We’re passionate about supporting local East Bay families and creating a welcoming, inclusive environment for kids of all backgrounds.

FAQs

Do you take insurance?
We understand how important insurance coverage is for families. Starling Therapy is actively working toward becoming in-network with major insurance plans and plan to be able to accept major insurances by Spring 2026. While that process is underway, we are considered out-of-network and can provide detailed documentation (superbills) to support reimbursement.

Where are sessions held?
While we look for an office Berkeley or Oakland, we currently offer in-home visits throughout the East Bay or via secure teletherapy.
