Getting to know Marcia Porter
Marcia Porter, LCSW
Hello,
I am a California-based licensed clinical therapist with over 15 years of clinical experience. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I have a rich background working in community mental health (adult outpatient), with families (both single and blended), and some limited work with couples in private practice. I have enjoyed assisting couples with reconnections and families facing parenting challenges, such as learning to establish clear boundaries. I also support adults through life transition stages and issues, helping them become more adaptable, set goals when possible, accept where they are in their lives, and learn how to navigate and move forward.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I value building rapport and starting/ initiating a client-therapist relationship with all of the clients that I see. I think that it is important for clients to feel comfortable, safe, and heard. And that through the reciprocity of the therapeutic relationship clients may begin to feel more stable, (grounded) empowered, and possibly begin to make better choices for themselves.

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.
