Dr. Marina Shafran, PhD

Dr. Marina Shafran, PhD

Psychologist
PA
Hi there, I'm Marina! Hi, I’m Dr. Marina Shafran, a licensed psychologist (PS017485) in Pennsylvania. With 15 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of supporting college-aged students in university counseling settings and working with older adults in private practice. My passion is helping individuals navigate life’s challenges while fostering growth, resilience, and self-discovery. I’m here to create a warm, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. My approach My education and lived experiences have shaped my ability to understand and relate to others, fostering greater empathy in my work. While I bring extensive professional training to the therapy process, I also believe that every person I work with teaches me something valuable. Supporting others is both a privilege and a responsibility I deeply value, and I am committed to creating a meaningful, collaborative therapeutic experience for each individual I have the honor to work with. My focus Much of my career has been dedicated to working in university counseling centers, where I have supported many college students through a wide range of challenges. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with adults beyond college age, including those who have experienced trauma. My goal is to provide compassionate and effective care tailored to each individual's unique needs and circumstances. My communication style Clients often tell me that it’s clear how much I care and that I bring warmth, genuine engagement, and a thoughtful balance of support and directness when needed. They frequently share that they feel comfortable opening up about themselves, even on challenging or sensitive topics, without feeling judged or ashamed. My goals for you I view therapy as a collaborative process and welcome your ideas, questions, and input. Throughout treatment, I’ll regularly check in with you to ensure our goals are aligned and that our discussions focus on what feels most important to you.
