Getting to know Marcia De Oliveira Howard
Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile.

My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space to process, learn to unlearn, and rebuild. I offer services in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, including stress management, coping with depression and anxiety, and learning to live with what cannot be changed. A meaningful life must be constructed with care and diligence, kindness, and courage.

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.

An old-hand and a very competent one. So knowledgeable and direct- Especially for couples, she's able to call us on our shit and still be supportive of both of us. She is both sophisticated and down-to- earth.

Marcia is a highly skilled, empathic, and strategic therapist. She counseled my husband and I on our 4th attempt at therapy, and won our trust and was able to guide us toward a better path for both. I highly recommend!
