Marina Shipilova, MS, CCC-SLP

We were introduced to Marina when our daughter required early intervention in 2020 and she was immediately enamored with her. At the time, sessions were virtual only with the pandemic in full swing. After several weekly sessions we noticed significant progress and took away some very useful suggestions. We eventually stopped the sessions due to our daughter’s progress.

This past year we wanted to hire her for our son. We had moved to a different town and paid for Marina’s services out-of-pocket as the therapists that early intervention sent were not effective. Fortunately sessions were live and our son progressed tremendously under her direct supervision.

Marina has a warm and engaging demeanor that both kids gravitated to despite having different personalities. She is flexible and clearly takes a lot of joy in her work. She is able to make each session feel productive and does not give up in trying to teach and involve the kids.

I would highly recommend working with her if your child requires speech therapy!

Marina is truly amazing with children! She has a special way of connecting with kids and making them feel comfortable and excited to learn. Her sessions are fun, engaging, and tailored to each child’s needs, which has made such a difference in our child’s progress. Marina is patient, creative, and always celebrates every little step, helping kids build confidence along the way. We are so grateful for her dedication and the positive impact she’s had on our child’s life.

What can I say about Ms. Marina?
First of, full disclosure, Marina and I went to graduate school together to become SLPs. Now, when my son had delayed speech and did not qualify for early intervention, I had to seek private speech therapy. With a hectic work schedule I was happy to hear that Marina was accepting clients and doing some home visits ( which for any toddler parent is very convenient). My son simply ADORES her! She comes in with lots of enthusiasm and fun activities. She gave very helpful strategies to my husband and babysitter ( which were the same ones I mentioned to them but I guess they needed to hear it from an outside "professional"). I lovd that she was bilingual- Russian because I was trying to maintain that with my boys as well. Most of all, I was very happy that she got my husband and babysitter involved in the process and had them practice strategies. She's great!!!

Marina, thank you for being so beautiful with my children, you worked with them, you were strong and with love, you helped them so much that even after several years she still remembers her speech therapist. Thanks you!

Marina is the best therapist you can find. My son had speech and behavior problems and she was the only professional who managed to help him. There were some therapists who came to my house without success, but thanks to Marina and her professionalism, my son gradually learned to communicate. Today my son is able to communicate without problems. So I definitely recommend Marina. you won't regret it!
