Marcie Foster
We’re always facing new challenges in life. These challenges may be new, years in the making, or leading to feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, sadness, anxious, or depressed. The step towards support is a brave one! I have been a licensed independent social worker for 18 years. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space in sessions. Together, we’ll work to build coping strategies and find clarity. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, centered on your unique needs, expereinces, values, and goals. I have completed training and am certified through Postpartum Support International with experience working with women facing a range of circumstances. Feel free to see more on my website ActofHopeCounseling.com.
My experienced ranges from community based mental health to supervising to building my own private practice.
First session
Leading up to the first appointment, many feel some nerves. I will share some background information about myself, answer any questions you may have, and create a genuine, comfortable setting to start this journey. We will discuss what led you to reach out for counseling, mental health history, relationships, and begin developing strategies to reach your goals.
Strengths
With 18 years of experience I am flexible to meet your therapeutic needs in a laid back and welcoming environment. I work individually with each client to make the process comfortable, challenging when appropriate, and successful.
Ideal clients
Life brings many changes and pathways. Through this we can experience stress, anxiety, depression, and sometimes what helped before no longer works. If you’re experiencing changes, tough decisions, or stress, we can look together to clear the fog and take the steps to improve your mood, boundaries, communication, and daily life. We'll develop goals together, apply techniques and you'll have a support through this chapter in life.
