For more than a decade I've walked alongside teens and adults through addiction, childhood trauma, and the hard seasons of life — helping you find your footing and build on the strengths you already have.
Change begins the moment you realize that the way you're experiencing life right now isn't the only way it can be.
I'm Marjorie Norlund, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Rochester, New York, with more than fourteen years of experience helping people move through addiction, trauma, and difficult transitions. My work is strengths-based and person-centered — I start from what's already right and resilient in you, and we build from there.
I work with teens and adults, and with couples, drawing on approaches like Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, CBT, and motivational interviewing. Whatever brought you here, my hope is that you leave each session feeling a little more understood and a little more capable than when you walked in.
How I can help
Specialized support for what you're carrying
Focused, experienced care across the challenges I see most — and many more we can talk through together.
Addiction & Recovery
Alcohol and substance use, dual diagnosis, and the day-to-day work of building a life in recovery — without judgment.
Childhood Trauma & PTSD
Trauma-focused, gentle work to process the past and loosen its grip on the present so it no longer runs the show.
Mood & Anxiety
Depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and mood shifts — practical tools plus a steady place to be heard.
Relationships & Family
Couples work, codependency, parenting, and family conflict — reconnecting and setting boundaries that hold.
Life Transitions
Divorce, grief, career change, and other crossroads — finding direction and self-esteem when the ground shifts.
Teens & Veterans
Support for adolescents, peer relationships and self-esteem, and care attuned to the experiences of veterans.
My approach
Rooted in strengths — and often, in nature
Evidence-based methods, delivered in a way that actually feels human. We'll find the mix that fits you.
Nature & animal-assisted
Some of the best work happens outside four walls
I love the outdoors, and I've seen how time in nature can settle the nervous system and open people up in ways a clinical room sometimes can't. When it's a good fit, sessions can take a strengths-based, nature-based turn.
You may also meet Quin, my Red Heeler and therapy partner. A calm presence in the room has a way of lowering the stakes and making hard conversations feel a little safer.
Quin, always happy to say hello.
