pronouns: she|her|hers
Marjorie Thomsen joined Collaborative Insight Counseling Associates (CICA) as an Interim Clinical Supervisor in September 2025.
Psychologist Carl Rogers said, “In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?” Marjorie’s clinical approach is to provide a therapeutic connection that helps clients acknowledge, bear, and put into perspective all the struggles, messiness, small delights, bliss and everything in between that we experience as part of the human condition. Therapy is an opportunity to delve into that quarrel with the self. It also creates a time and place for healing and growth and the chance to discover where that can lead. Marjorie relishes developing a collaborative, working relationship with people to help them move toward living life with deeper meaning and purpose.
““Therapy is a place to come and clean off your boots and perhaps replace your laces. It’s that exquisite space to pay attention, shine some light, and practice finding that sweet spot of living with both effort and ease.
I enjoy being in the therapeutic expanse with those on this adventure. So much matters along the way toward transformation—from pain to healing, from unknowing to awareness.””
Marjorie earned a master’s in Social Work from the Catholic University of America’s School of Social Service and has been licensed to practice since 1997. Through Mass Poetry and Lesley University, Marjorie is certified to teach poetry and has served as a poet in residence at a school in Maine. As a therapist, supervisor, and writer/teacher of poetry, she sometimes uses this medium as another way to help others understand themselves better or to live more confidently with uncertainty. If you need a haiku today, here is one from Billy Collins that captures both a sense of loneliness and hopefulness:
Mid-winter evening,
alone at the sushi bar—
just me and this eel.
Fun Fact: Marjorie recently hiked the Kumono Kodo, a UNESCO World Heritage sacred site and pilgrimage route in the Kii Mountain Range of Japan. She had to call a taxi only once (well, maybe twice).
