Getting to know Marcia Cooke
Welcome to Lighthouse Counseling, I am Dr Marcia A. Cooke, and I am a licensed professional with over 24 years of experience in mental health therapy and counseling. I earned my Doctor of Psychology in Marital and Family Therapy from Alliant International University, California School of Professional Psychology, San Diego, in 2008. Additionally, I hold a Master of Arts in Human Behavior from National University in San Diego.
In addition to my education, I have specialized training in Military and Veteran Behavioral Health, achieved through the Widener University Institute for Graduate Clinical Psychology. This allows me to bring a unique understanding of the families to my practice.
Throughout my career, I have worked in various clinical settings, including Community Mental Health, where I spent nine years supporting individuals and families facing a wide range of emotional and psychological issues. I transitioned to working with active-duty military members, helping service members and their families cope with the stresses of military life. I also worked with Native youth in a residential treatment settings, providing culturally sensitive care and support. In my most recent role, I focused on assisting active-duty service members, spouses, and families with the stresses inherent.
I am licensed to provide services in Nevada, California, Oregon, and South Carolina, offering comprehensive mental health therapy for individuals, couples, and families in these regions.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe in short term Solution Focused Brief Therapy which creates collaboration rather than instruction. I strongly believe that we each possess the ability to resolve whatever we may face. Sometimes it’s about figuring out what the issue really is and then figuring out how things will be different when the issue is resolved, that’s the Miracle Question. Often times, you have the answer, but you just need someone who will listen, support, and guide while you work your way to it.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I like to begin my sessions with a conversation listening to what the client believes they need help with. There is, of course, the paperwork and assessment documentation, but my main focus is just getting to know the client and hearing what their issues and goals are. Often the client will have some insight into what hasn’t worked, which is a plus. I also like to talk about what therapy is and is not for those who are new to the process or have preconceived notions.
Marcia Cooke, LMFT is not in-network with any insurances
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $150 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $100 for 45 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is processed though the Headway.co platform. You will find the insurances that I am credentialed with there. If your provider is not listed, please reach out as other options may be available for you.
