Marjorie Thomsen, LICSW

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?” My 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. I relish developing a collaborative, working relationship with people to help them move toward living life with deeper meaning and purpose.

I earned a master’s in Social Work from the Catholic University of America’s School of Social Service and have been licensed to practice since 1997. Through Mass Poetry and Lesley University, I am certified to teach poetry and have served as a poet in residence in schools. As a therapist and writer/teacher of poetry, I sometimes use this medium as another way to help clients understand themselves better or to live more confidently with uncertainty. If you need a haiku today, here is one from Billy Collins that I like in the way it captures a sense of loneliness:

Mid-winter evening,

alone at the sushi bar—

just me and this eel.

About Us

Our practice specializes in treating individuals. Through years of experience, we are confident that no problem is too great to overcome.

We began our business life as Health and Human Services LLC. It seemed like a great name at the time. However, we are now doing business as Compass Counseling. We think it better describes what we do and doesn’t confuse our business with the federal government agency, Health and Human Services.

Administrative Office Hours
