About me

Feeling stuck, anxious, or burned out? You’re not broken—you’re on a quest. Whether you're navigating trauma, chronic pain, performance blocks, or the weight of caregiving, I offer therapy that helps you reconnect with your inner strength and direction. I believe healing starts with being seen and understood—not pathologized. Together, we’ll make sense of your story, uncover what’s holding you back, and build toward clarity and momentum.
I’m Chad Starrak, LCSW and founder of Questline Counseling in Kyle, TX. I work with teens, adults, creatives, and caregivers using a trauma-informed, neuroscience-backed approach. My sessions weave together EMDR, CBT, Narrative Therapy, IFS, and parts work—offering a structured yet compassionate space to address root causes, not just symptoms.

Very helpful in helping me apply the tools to improve my relationship

Written on Mar 15, 2026 after therapy with Chad for 5 months on issues concerning relationship issues, and trauma and abuse

I’m extremely grateful to Chad for all his help and expertise while I was navigating personal challenges and was seeking help for tools and resources during this time. I am grateful for his skillset and am so glad that I took the step to sign up with Better Help and was matched with Chad. Therapy really helped me and I cannot recommend speaking with Chad enough!

Written on Mar 14, 2026 after therapy with Chad for 6 months on issues concerning self esteem, anger management, coping with life changes, and coaching

Chad's amazing. He knows his stuff, and I always leave our sessions having learned something valuable (and often times life changing) about myself. I would (and do) recommend him any time I'm allowed...

Chad is fantastic. He has the patience of a saint and is a great support. He knows when to push you and when not to. He’s all around pretty cool to talk to and knows how to build rapport, consistently show up on time and make a huge impact in a short amount of time. I’m so grateful I’ve found him.

Personable, professional, and connects well with subjects and makes me feel like I'm being taken seriously and listened to. Highly recommended.
