Question 1

What are typical sessions like?

Accepted Answer

Counseling sessions are often described like having a conversation with a friend, but feeling very safe to share anything on your mind because the person you're talking to is legally and ethically bound to keep your secrets. I hold confidentiality in the highest regard and see it as an essential piece of the work you'll be doing. Depending on the problem you're facing, I may offer concrete strategies to practice between sessions.

Question 2

How long are sessions?

Accepted Answer

Sessions will be 50 minutes long, and I typically see clients once per week in the beginning, tapering down as you make progress.

Question 3

Why can't I find your phone number?

Accepted Answer

I'm so glad you asked! I have a whole page (https://www.saltmarshcounseling.com/about-4)explaining it :)

Question 4

Do you see individuals or only couples?

Accepted Answer

I love working with individuals as well as couples! While my website tends to focus on relationships, I do really enjoy working with people on all kinds of things that make human-ing hard. I also love working with adult family sets - like adult siblings or a parent and their adult child. I've even done therapy with whole family systems including 4 or more adults who come to sessions together!

Question 5

Do you have evening or weekend availability?

Accepted Answer

No, my availability is:

In-person: Mondays 8am to 2pm or Thursdays 8am to 12pm
Virtually: Anytime Monday through Thursday 8am to 2pm

My latest appointment time is the 1:00-2:00pm time slot.

Question 6

I'm interested, what are the next steps?

Accepted Answer

You can schedule a free 15-minute consultation call via my portal (https://saltmarsh.clientsecure.me/request/service)or by emailing me at elizabeth@saltmarshcounseling.com. (elizabeth@saltmarshcounseling.com.)

Also, please let me know if you're interested in finding out more about your out-of-network insurance benefits and I'll be sure to add you to my Thrizer (www.thrizer.com)portal as well.

Once we've chatted, if we both feel that it's a good fit, I'll send you all of my intake paperwork and we can set up your first session!

After you're an established client, you'll have access to the client portal where you can request and manage appointments directly.
