Meet Your EOU Counseling Center Professional Staff

Dr. Thacher Carter

Counseling Center Director
I obtained my Masters in Clinical Social Work from the University of Denver in 1982. I worked in community mental health for about 13 years and had a private practice in Denver working with adults and couples.

I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in 1993 and have been the Director of Counseling and Psychological Services at Eastern Oregon University since 1993.

I enjoy working with a variety of issues and populations: trauma, developmental issues, depression, anxiety, couples and groups. I am licensed in both Clinical Social Work and Clinical Psychology. All in all I have had over 25 years of clinical practice.

Dr. Marianne Weaver

Clinical Counselor
I am relatively new to EOU, having moved to La Grande in September 2001.

I earned my BA (Behavioral Science) from Concordia University in Irvine, California in 1991; my MA in Marital and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University (also in Southern Cal) in 1993; and my PsyD (Doctor of Psychology) in Clinical Psychology (with an emphasis in Family Psychology) also from Azusa Pacific University, in 2001.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California and had a private practice for several years where I had the fortunate opportunity of working with many families, kids (doing play therapy), couples, as well as individuals. I am also a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Oregon. I tend to enjoy working with those who have experienced trauma and are struggling with various addictions, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. I thoroughly enjoy working with the college student population!
