What to Expect

Individual Counseling

Individual counseling is available in person in Charleston, SC and online throughout the state.

Beginning this process can be intimidating, so don’t worry; it’s totally normal to have some jitters when first reaching out! The good news is, the first step is usually the hardest. Once you’ve made that initial contact (which you can do by clicking here), we’ll schedule a short phone chat, exchange some information and get your first appointment on the calendar.

At your initial appointment, we’ll begin the process of getting to know one another. It’s super important you feel at ease, so I’ll do my part to create safe space and invite you into a relationship of trust and curiosity. All you have to do is show up. Therapy is most successful when you give yourself permission to come as you are and to trust the process as it unfolds.

I won’t pretend it’s easy, but I will do everything in my power to ensure you feel secure and grounded as you ask the hard questions and explore the areas of your life that feel disempowering.

Someone told me a long time ago therapy is a gift we give ourselves. I wholeheartedly agree.

I’d be honored to hold space with you as you navigate this season of midlife with courage and authenticity.

Important Information

  • $150/50 minute session payable with any major credit, debit, or HSA/FSA card

    I do not file with any insurance companies but can send a monthly Super Bill which is the document required by most insurance companies for reimbursement. If filing with insurance is important to you, please confirm outpatient mental health coverage prior to your initial appointment. I cannot guarantee reimbursement under any circumstance.

  • Please give at least 24 hours notice via text or voicemail (843-926-1625) to avoid being charged the full session fee.

    Three missed sessions (“no-shows”) will result in termination of the therapeutic relationship. For therapy to be effective, it requires commitment and consistency.

    Please reach out to Marjorie with any questions.

“I decided that the most subversive, revolutionary
thing I could do was to show up for my life and not be ashamed.”
