Trinitas began with a name and a belonging
Marion has been a Third Order Trinitarian for thirty years. For most of that time she didn’t think of it as a charism she was leaning into, it was simply who she was. The Trinitarian spirit of redemption, mission, and the dignity of every person had quietly shaped her long before she had language for it.
When it came time to start her own practice, the name was clear, Trinitas.
What she didn’t plan was what came next.
The Work That Found Her
Marion didn’t set out to work primarily with Catholics and Christians. But as she tells it , God had a clearer plan. The people who found their way to her door were people of faith who were tired of choosing between their inner life and their spiritual life. People who had tried therapy that didn’t know what to do with their faith, and spiritual direction that didn’t know what to do with their pain.
She knew there was another way. She had lived it.
A Squiggle, a Program, and a Door That Opened
Marion’s own journey into interior healing wasn’t linear or polished. It began, as many things do, with feeling stuck. A therapist, an art exercise, a clipboard of markers, and one honest squiggle on a page. It wasn’t the right fit, and her internal system knew it.
What opened the door was stumbling into parts work. First through a program called Bright Line Eating, then through the work of Everette Considine, who taught her to recognize her internal voices not with judgment but with curiosity. It was no longer about weight loss. But she began to like herself. That, she says, was the real shift.
From there, IFS training. A growing circle of faithful Catholic women; Jody, Adele, Laura, Jennifer, who were drawn to the same integration of faith and inner healing. Weekly meetings that became the Inner Circle, then Integrated Hearts. A retreat in Ireland with Susan McConnell for Somatic IFS, applied for on a nudge from her braver parts, accepted against her doubts, and transformative in ways she couldn’t have predicted.
And somewhere in the middle of all of it, after her Taskmaster Linda Alice stopped yelling, her Prime Mover relaxed, and her adrenaline-driven Edge Dancer finally took a nap, she experienced something she hadn’t expected: interior peace. Not permanent. Not perfect. But real.
That peace is what Trinitas exists to help others find.
The Conviction That Drives the Work
For Marion, the integration of faith and psychology has never felt like a compromise or a creative synthesis. It has always been obvious. As a lifelong Catholic and a graduate of Divine Mercy University, where the Catholic Christian Meta-Model of the Person shapes every lens, she has always understood the human person as body, soul, and spirit, inseparable and worthy of integrated care.
IFS didn’t replace that understanding. It deepened it. When she sits with her own parts in compassion, she sees the image of God more clearly. And that is what she invites others into, not a program, not a prescription, but a companioned journey toward wholeness.
The Team
Trinitas has grown the way the best things grow through genuine connection and shared conviction.
Christina is Marion’s oldest daughter and the most natural choice Marion could imagine for someone to care for Trinitas the way she would. Christina followed Marion’s work at a parish, carries similar ministry experience, and has the particular gift of knowing how to work alongside Marion’s parts, not against them. She is also the mother of Marion’s grandchildren, which means she brings to Trinitas something rare: the trust that only comes from being truly known.
Lori joined because Marion’s system recognized hers. They met through another organization, and something clicked. It was the kind of quiet resonance that is difficult to explain and impossible to manufacture. Lori brings her own deep humanity to the work: her experience as a wife and mother, her growing IFS practice, and a beautiful presence that puts people at ease from the first conversation.
Together, they are not a clinical team. They are a community of people who have done their own interior work, who believe in what they offer, and who genuinely love the people they serve.
What We Hold in Common
Every part of you is worthy of love.
That is the conviction at the heart of Trinitas. Not that you need to be fixed. Your struggles are not flaws. Your parts learned to care for you in the best way they knew at the time it was necessary. Every anxious, exhausted, protective, tender part wants to be seen, heard, known, and cherished.
God made us in such a miraculous way that we are designed to heal. We want to help you on that journey.
Not because we make it happen. But because we hold the space for it to unfold.
