At Good Medicine Counseling, I believe healing begins with connection. I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health services designed to support adults navigating life’s challenges, transitions, and traumas. Whether you’re seeking clarity, relief, or growth, I’m here to walk beside you as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor committed to culturally responsive care.
Healing is deeply personal. In addition to my professional training as a therapist, I bring lived experience with recovery, healing, and rebuilding after adversity. While every person’s journey is unique, I understand firsthand the courage it takes to face difficult experiences, challenge old beliefs, and create meaningful change.
My role is not to tell you what your journey should look like. Instead, I walk alongside you with empathy, clinical expertise, cultural humility, and genuine understanding of how healing unfolds over time.
Many clients find comfort knowing they are working with someone who not only studied healing professionally but has also done significant healing work personally.
I approach therapy as a partnership. Every session is grounded in respect, safety, and the belief that you are the expert of your own experience. My practice blends holistic mental health treatment with proven clinical methods, offering care that honors both mind and body.
I specialize in psychotherapy services that address:
As a state licensed counselor, I have advanced training in EMDR, somatic therapy, and trauma recovery. My work is rooted in both clinical expertise and Indigenous healing traditions.
Earning the National Certified Counselor (NCC) credential reflects Marjorie’s commitment to the highest professional standards in counseling. This nationally recognized certification from the NBCC highlights her dedication to ethical care, advanced clinical competence, and trauma-informed practice grounded in cultural humility.
I’m Marjorie R. Basballe, M.A., M.S., LMHCA, NCC, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate and enrolled member of the Puyallup Tribe. For more than 23 years, I’ve worked in tribal social and community services, advocacy, and trauma-informed care, supporting children, adults, and families affected by violence, substance use, grief, and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons crisis. My lived experience also shapes the care and respect I bring to this work.
As a trauma therapist with the Children of the River Child Advocacy Center, I support children and families as they navigate healing and systems of care. In my counseling practice, I draw on evidence-based approaches while making room for each person’s culture, relationships, and sources of strength. When meaningful to the client, our work may include storytelling, expressive arts, connection to land, and cultural reconnection.
I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Master of Arts in Leadership. I also provide training and consultation for educators, tribal programs, and community organizations on child protection, digital safety, and culturally responsive wellness.
