About Marion
Marion Saulque is a Washington state licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with three years of clinical experience. She left a career as an automotive mechanic to train in counseling in her early 40s, and brings practical problem-solving and plainspoken style to sessions. Marion emphasizes respect for cultural background and a nonjudgmental stance informed by her Native American identity. She blends a client-centered outlook with warmth and occasional humor.
Marion has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, addictions, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, and domestic violence recovery. She has experience supporting women who lived in shelters and those in substance use treatment aiming to rebuild their lives. That work shaped her understanding of trauma, survival, and recovery.
Her approach is grounded in what a person needs right now. Marion uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness skills to help manage symptoms and build routines. She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy and has begun training in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. Sessions often include teaching two practical skills per week for people to try between meetings.
Marion describes change as hard but possible with steady effort. She works in partnership with people to set clear goals and to practice skills that fit daily life. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability.
