V Star Behavioral Health - Union City, TN

About V Star Behavioral Health

V Star Behavioral Health, also known as VSTAR Behavioral Health Services, is an outpatient counseling practice in Union City, Tennessee, serving the northwest Tennessee area. They help clients cope with both mental health and substance use concerns through individual, family, and group counseling, and they often involve loved ones in the process. The practice is led by President and CEO Virgil Williams, Jr., a licensed clinical social worker who returned to his hometown after decades in behavioral health and substance abuse program leadership in Detroit. They also run an Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) program that operates around the clock, offer a sliding fee discount for those who qualify, and accept most insurance plans.

Care is provided by licensed master’s-level social workers who rely on research-supported methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT, family psychoeducation, and brief solution-focused therapy. Family work is a particular strength, with approaches such as Brief Strategic Family Therapy for children and teens ages six to seventeen dealing with conduct problems, early substance use, or strained family relationships. They also use Parent Management Training-Oregon Model (PMTO), which coaches parents in practical skills like limit setting, monitoring, and positive reinforcement for kids with serious behavior problems. Evening appointments are available on Thursdays, which can help working adults and families fit sessions into their schedules.
