About me
I am licensed in Montana with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & depression. I have spent the past 38 years working with teens and families in one forum or another. I work with teen clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Marcia Tharp. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
She is the best
Marcia has been very understanding and I appreciate the way she stops to empathize before moving to solutions. That being said, her advice and practice solutions have also been very helpful for me. She is a great therapist!
Enjoy our time together
Marcia Tharp is really genuine and kind. She listens and does want the best for you.
Kind, patiently listens, offers advice. Seems to under!
Marcia has divinely intervened in a timely manner. She is well schooled in trauma coaching. She has supported me in such a tender, empathetic manner. I deeply appreciate the timely tools that she offers me
Marcia is very pleasant and positive. She offers helpful advice and exercises and does not make the sessions uncomfortable by asking questions that you may not be ready to answer.
Marcia is very easy to talk to and very helpful. She comes up with simple steps for progress and makes it easy to complete goals for the week. I would highly recommend Marcia
We’ve only had a few sessions but Marcia is a fantastic therapist
Marcia is the pinnacle of professional therapy. She is concise, respectful, and engaged. She also has an arsenal of useful tools and resources. The techniques she utilises are easy to digest and implement.
I am very pleased. She is very attentive and thorough. She shares great ideas for homework that help me through my issues.
Marcia has helped me take the first steps towards healing from the worst year of my life. She has an encouraging and positive attitude. I highly recommend
My time with Marcia is a perfect fit.
Marcia was instrumental in helping my son transition to a new state, town, school! She is very knowledgeable and my son really like her, which is so important! We couldn’t have done it without her!
Marcia is a fantastic listener. She remembers even the most minute details of my life and incorporates them into our discussions
Marcia was able to pinpoint the core of my issues and still make me feel seen and heard.
Only a few sessions in with Marcia, and I've already learned new tools to manage my anxiety, as well as remember and relearn strategies that worked for me before. Looking forward to continue working with her.
Lovely wise therapist. Very kind and knowledgeable. We decided that I have really specific needs from a therapist and so maybe a switch within teen counseling or possibly just someone outside of teencounseling.com if the specialty I’m looking for isn’t available.
Marcia does a wonderful job relating to teens and communicating with families and sharing helpful advice. We highly recommend her.
I have only had two sessions with Marcia, and I have never had a therapist before. Right away Marcia made me feel confrontable and not embarrassed to open up to her about my feelings. I am so glad that I am doing this and that I have Marcia. I think she is wonderful.
Marcia is very understanding and helpful in many ways. She is innovative with her tools and helped me alot. I was stuck in life and didn't know where to start when I started teencounseling.com. When I met Marcia I felt like she was understanding of my situation and gave me great advice and small homework sheets to start helping me feel better. I would recommend Marcia to others in the future. Thank you Marcia you have changed my life in so many ways.
Came very prepared for our appointment! She listened very well, I felt very heard and understood and she did a very good job navigating problems and breaking down/explaining her advice and why it may work for me!
It is very early in our journey to make any firm predictions, but I have connected with Marcia in a trusted and hopeful relationship. I feel she is invested in me and wants to see me succeed. She seems to understand what I am struggling with and has the insight and commitment to helping me overcome my challenges
Marcia is kind and honest. An impeccable listener and asks good questions.
Marcia has been great. She listens and makes sure I’m heard. She gives great advice. She helped me out with family issues.
Marcia is available always and is pushing me to be a better person and father
Marcia is kind, understanding and knowledgeable.
