Again, I state that I would have appreciated being able to have had an in person appointment as I use to get before the covid epidemic. But Dr. Marcus only does phone call appointments now. That defeats that purpose of a therapy appointment in my opinion. Okay, I understand the convenience of a phone call appointment. No need to drive into Salinas to for an appointment is nice. However, I studied psychology and counseling in the past. One of my favorite topics is body language. I also personally know the pioneer of body language research, Dr. Albert Mehrabian who lives in Monterey. He is someone I have high respect for.
Anyhow, something is to be said about seeing a person face to face in an appointment. It is not just what the person says but how they say it. What clues does the person's body say besides what they are actually saying?!? Surely, a phone call appointment cannot show much evidence of this. Come on, things are getting back to normal and yet, Dr. Marcus, whom I have high respect for as well, does not do in person appointments. That is not good. Since, my phone seems to not do well with phone video conferencing and I prefer to do in person appointments, with a heavy heart, I say good bye to going there. read more
