Marcus Thigpen - MA, Intern

My Passion for Counseling

Hi, my name is Marcus. My journey from isolation and struggle led me to discover hope, purpose, and resilience. With a B.A. in Behavioral Science, 11 years in professional football in the NFL and CFL, experience as an published author, husband, and father, I’m now serving as a Christian Counselor. I understand firsthand how life’s toughest battles can prepare us for greatness. Through faith, persistence, and support, I’m committed to guiding others toward healing and discovering their own paths forward.

I work with individuals ages 5 and up, providing counseling support to children, teens, adults, and families seeking healing.

Types of Counseling I Provide

I provide individual, couples, and family counseling, specializing in marriage and blended family support to strengthen relationships and foster healing.

My Education

I graduated from Indiana University in 2008 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Behavioral Science and a Minor in Criminal Justice. I also hold a Master of Science in Psychology with an emphasis in Life Coaching and am completing a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Grand Canyon University.
