Dr. Marianne Weaver
Counseling Center Director
I moved to La Grande in September, 2001, to begin working as a Clinical Counselor in our Counseling Center. I accepted the job as Counseling Center Director in September, 2012. I am a Southern California transplant (please don’t hold that against me!) and so winters can be a little long and cold for me. Much of the time I long for the 110 degree weather I grew up with, but aside for the cold weather, I absolutely love Eastern Oregon – the natural beauty, pace of life, and the people! For a little about my educational and clinical background …
I earned my BA in 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 was licensed as a 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 have been a licensed Psychologist in Oregon since 2002, and 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, which makes my job an ideal fit for me.
I could share lots more about myself, so if you want to know more, feel free to ask when you visit the Counseling Center or see me around campus.
