About Marcia
Marcia Reynolds, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker and program manager with extensive experience serving vulnerable populations across generations. For 20 years, she managed a sexual abuse treatment program in Portland, Oregon under a Department of Human Services contract, where she hired and supervised 10 therapists and educated non-offending parents about offenders, narcissism, and PTSD to support family reunification in low-income communities. She subsequently worked in the hospice field for six and a half years in Klamath Falls, Oregon, advocating for elderly patients and reporting concerns related to their care. Reynolds earned her bachelor's degree after attending Portland State University and is a member of NASW. She attributes her success to her mother, a feminist who emphasized the importance of college education and self-belief, and she advises young women entering the field to keep fighting for themselves and believe in themselves.
