About Provider

About Marcia

Marcia Umbarger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) who has many years of experience working with adults, veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or military sexual trauma (MST), and adolescents. Marcia provides individual, group, and relationship/couples counseling, dream work in therapy, biofeedback, and vocational therapy sessions.

Marcia's educational background includes a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Rehabilitation Studies, a Master of Science (MS) in Rehabilitation Counseling, and 72 hours of doctoral studies in Jungian Psychology. She attended the University of North Texas (UNT). Marcia was born and raised in The Hague, The Netherlands, so she also provides therapy for Dutch speakers.

Are you experiencing stress, feeling stuck, depressed, anxious, and lonely? Have you resorted to substances alone to deal with life? Are you having issues communicating with your significant other? Are you lost in life and too stressed or lonely to make changes? Do you have longstanding issues, perhaps maybe from childhood, that have not been manageable? Do you need help figuring out who you are, and what you would love to do with your life?

Marcia is here to help you soothe excessive worrying, sadness, loneliness, fears, addictions, and/or anger, or anything that keeps you from functioning in life. She will provide a safe, warm, and trusting environment. Marcia uses a variety of therapy methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, reality therapy, and psychoanalytic/Jungian therapy. When dealing with longstanding issues, especially from childhood, Marcia uses a combination of psychoanalysis, analytical/Jungian, reality therapy, and CBT to help you make changes to yourself and your life.
