Marjorie Fagan, LMFT

She congratulates anyone taking the first step toward getting support and acknowledges how meaningful that decision can be. Marjorie Fagan is based in Southern California and shares her home with her long-term partner John, three cats, three dogs, and a tortoise who is currently hibernating - a small reminder that rest can be important. Over a 14-year span she has worked as a helper in a range of clinical settings and with diverse ethnic populations, building practical experience supporting people through difficult transitions.

Marjorie seeks to help individuals move past the patterns and obstacles that keep them from being their authentic selves. She does not present herself as a fixer and does not claim to have all the answers; instead she offers collaborative guidance, occasional suggestions, and evidence-informed tools to address problems that feel too large to manage alone. Her practice emphasizes partnership and respect for the client’s own goals and pace.

As a licensed clinician, Marjorie holds the LMFT credential, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship issues, family dynamics, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, career concerns, and bipolar disorder. Clinically she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor approaches to each person’s needs.

Marjorie values the honor of collaborating with people who are ready to examine what is keeping them stuck and to try new strategies for change. Her style blends practical skill-building with thoughtful, trauma-informed attention to each person’s history and strengths.
