ABOUT
I Don't Believe Organizations Struggle Because People Don't Care.
I’m Talia Starr Filippelli, LCSW, a clinician, consultant, and educator with more than 15 years of experience working at the intersection of mental health, child and family development, emotional intelligence, and resilience.
Through North Starr Studio, I help organizations apply that expertise to the work they’re already doing. That might mean helping a toy company make the emotional benefits of play more visible to parents, advising a media team on emotionally responsible content, developing training for clinicians, or helping a school build a more effective system for supporting students.
My role is often the same: bring a clinical and developmental lens to a real-world challenge, then translate what we know into something people can actually use.
The result may be a product strategy, training, framework, resource, curriculum, or implementation plan—but the goal is consistent: make good ideas more useful, credible, and effective.
How North Starr Studio Works
- Understand the human challenge.
- Identify what's creating friction.
- Design practical solutions.
- Build tools people can actually use.
- Support implementation so ideas become lasting practice.
