Marcia Vincent, Therapist

She welcomes clients with trauma histories, substance misuse, gender/identity struggles, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, as well as those dealing with life changes including their health, a break-up or divorce, loss or change of job, displaced families/loved ones, and grief and loss to name a few. Providing human services to those in need is something Marcia has been a part of since the mid-nineties. Prior to graduate school Marcia worked over a decade as a Medicolegal Death Investigator in Colorado. She co-facilitated a support group for first responders and knows PTSD can leave folks feeling overwhelmed and changed from the person they once were. Evidence-based practices such as Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Solution Focused Therapy are some modalities used throughout treatment. Marcia finds exploration of values and the use of metaphors and art/creativity can help guide the therapeutic process.

She is guided by a person-centered approach that denotes clients are the true experts and have the ability within themselves to reach their full potential. Marcia believes each person has the ability to heal and work through their challenges when provided with a safe space where they feel heard and validated without judgement. She recognizes the importance of self-growth and lifelong learning. She knows there are many aspects that make a person unique that to not consider their culture, subcultures, intersectionality, heritage, beliefs, and values in the therapeutic space discounts a person’s true identity and how they see themselves, others, and the world in which they live.

When Marcia is not working, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, being in nature, hanging out with her dogs and horse, as well as landscaping/gardening, arts/crafts, and making humor/laughing a priority.
