Getting to know Elizabeth Porfert

Hello! I'm Liz. I am an LMHC, NCC, and possess a BA in Spanish Language and Culture as well as Sociology. I earned my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University in 2014 and am recognized as a Nationally Certified Counselor. My recent roles have been Clinical Director for a local mental health hospital as well as Behavioral Health Director for the local sheriff's department. I also enjoy working with families in crisis. I have worked with families over the past 20 years in a variety of settings. I served the State of Florida as a Child Protective Investigator for five years. Before working with the Department of Children and Families, I served as a Social Services Case Manager/Team Leader for the Department of Juvenile Justice. In Massachusetts, I worked as a teen parent social worker for the Department of Transitional Assistance, assisting teen parents in navigating the system to achieve economic self-sufficiency. After graduating with my BA, I was fortunate to work with a local non-profit to help encourage at-risk, gang-influenced youth to connect with social services as well as earn their General Equivalency Diploma. My professional goal in life is to assist individuals in recovering from negative self-talk and the harmful messages sometimes instilled in childhood or prior relationships, helping patients build a healthier emotional quality of life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My goal is to assist patients throughout their mental health wellness journey and create a toolbox of skills and awareness that can be utilized on a day-to-day basis to improve their overall quality of life.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
