Biography

Starr Burgess is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pflugerville, Texas. The motto she keeps in her heart every day is: “No One Cares How Much You Know Unless They Know How Much You Care!” Her journey to becoming an author began as a school counselor in 2008 where she had the privilege of serving students and colleagues in the Pflugerville, TX and Round Rock, TX School Districts and now currently in her own practice. She has been working on writing books for several years and finally created the main character, Counselor Dynamite, whom she lovingly refers to as the pioneer super hero of schools. Counselor Dynamite represents counselors everywhere, whether their workplace is in schools, private practices, agencies, or non-for-profits. Counselor Dynamite is more than just a character, the name is a reminder of how important their responsibilities and services are to students, children, adults, families, and colleagues. Counselors wear many hats in the operation of schools, many hats that people don’t see but experience as the fruit of their labor. Starr’s mission in every book is to re-energize the importance of the counselor’s role in schools everywhere.
