STARRY Counseling in Waco

STARRY is currently working with emergency personnel to offer services to those who have been affected by the explosion in West, Texas. For more information, please contact our Waco staff. Continue lifting up these families in your prayers as rescue and recovery efforts continue.

The STARRY Counseling staff in Waco provides services to McLennan county.  The services we offer are available at no cost for families with children from birth to 17 years of age because STARRY is funded in part by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services’ Prevention Early Intervention (PEI) program.
