Cindy Marino, PsyD, (she/her), Training Director & Staff Psychologist
Greetings! I serve as the Training Director and Staff Psychologist here at LC Student Counseling Center. I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology from Pacific University. And, I have worked at student counseling centers at Washington State University and Pacific University, along with various other clinical settings.
My therapy approach is relational and integrative, with a foundation based in contemporary psychodynamic, emotion-focused therapy, and internal family systems. I often integrate interventions from various cognitive behavioral therapies (e.g., Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). I strive to create an inclusive environment and consider a multicultural/intersectional lens within my work with clients. As a proud member of the queer community and a 1st gen postgraduate student, I am a strong advocate for issues of social justice. I have significant experience in working with individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community, and as a generalist I enjoy working with a wide-range of therapeutic concerns.
Since higher education and service are a focus for me, I also teach courses for Portland State University and am a volunteer ethics committee member for the Oregon Psychological Association. When I am not working you might find me gardening, hiking, camping, hanging with my 2 very large dogs & 2 chatty cats, and spending quality time with my partner, family, and friends.
