The Intentional Hearts Story: Co-Workers to Co-Captains
The story of IHCC began in June 2012 when Marcene and Dr. TJ met during a job interview. They became close friends over the next ten years while working together to help students and families develop the support systems and skills necessary to facilitate personal and educational growth. With similar interests and counseling expertise, Intentional Hearts Counseling & Consulting launched in March 2023 with the support of family and friends.
What We Do
At IHCC, we are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of individuals, families, and communities. Our counseling services are designed to provide support and guidance to those affected by substance use, addiction, or trauma. By focusing on stress management, healthy relationships, mood management, positive thinking skills, and self-empowerment, we help people build resilience and overcome negative behaviors.
Our commitment to community building extends to school-based services and community training. From psychoeducational groups, behavior supports, and substance use prevention and intervention, to family engagement, staff development, and coalition building, we work to create a supportive and inclusive environment in schools. Through community training, we provide tools and resources to help people build self-love, overcome perfectionism, be their authentic selves, and maintain positive mental health and wellness.
We also offer corporate development and training programs that are designed to empower individuals and teams. Our focus on workplace agility and resiliency, communication skills, and team development helps companies build strong, effective teams that can adapt to change and achieve their goals.
At IHCC, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live their best life. Whether you are an individual, a family, or a company, we are here to support you on your journey to success.

MOTTO:
Hold on to hope!
I desire to nurture hope in people by working in partnership with clients to help them obtain goals and live their best lives. Healing occurs when people can be authentic and align their private and public selves. Your next move is life-changing; let’s make it together.
My 20+ years in education and counseling honed my focus on assisting individuals with life struggles to experience success. I have worked as an early childhood educator, college professor, professional school counselor, and intervention counselor. I love to help those struggling with negative behaviors that cause difficulty in their personal or professional lives. This includes people affected by substance use and addiction to those wanting to improve their professional identity and work-life balance. I believe in my clients and their commitment to positive change.
