Are you tired of carrying things that are just too heavy for you to carry alone anymore? As a licensed professional counselor, I can help you carry that load. In my 12 years as a counselor, I've worked with families, children, adolescents, and adults of all ages in homes, outpatient offices, and online. I have a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision, and have taught in graduate counseling programs, but my first love is working directly with individuals who are dealing with the effects of trauma, grief, burnout, or anxiety. I am a Christian and would be happy to incorporate your spiritual beliefs, whether Christian or not, into our work together, if desired.
I am licensed in Pennsylvania with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & intimacy related issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
Welcome. I know reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe, seen, and understood. My goal is to provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental environment where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences at your own pace.
I work with individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Many of my clients are people who have spent years caring for others while neglecting their own needs and are now ready to begin prioritizing their healing and personal growth.
My approach is integrative and personalized because I believe every person’s story and healing journey is unique. I incorporate supportive therapy, trauma-focused care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and narrative therapy to help clients better understand themselves, develop healthier coping strategies, and move toward meaningful and lasting change.
Together, we will work to identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, process painful experiences with care and intention, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with your strengths and sense of self. I believe healing happens not only through insight, but also through feeling empowered, supported, and genuinely accepted.
Whether you are navigating a difficult season of life or seeking deeper self-understanding and growth, I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you in your journey toward healing and balance.
I seek to provide a warm, open environment where all parts of you are welcome. I believe your emotional and psychological safety is my top priority. I seek to make your empowerment my focus and often work from a root-causing healing approach and focus on your innate resilience and build practical coping/calm tools on your journey to healing. We will work as a team to define what healing looks like for you. My mind/body connection approach and evidence based approaches provide you tools to use outside of our sessions.
A highly experienced psychotherapist, he remains compassionate to others and completely focused on patient health and well-being. Dr. Ted Dorfman combines science and compassion to treat and help his patients. He holds 3 academic degrees in Psychology, and has practiced as a licensed psychologist for decades. At the college level he graduated "summa cum laude" and at the doctoral level he graduated "with distinction".
He enjoys these pastimes: helping others, reading nearly all genres, cooking, children, and banana splits. He is an honorably discharged US Army veteran, married with an adult son, and soon expecting a first grandchild. He's pleased with positive relations with his four brothers and three sisters. You will be able to tell he likes and respects people in his life.
He considers it an honor to help you.

Do you need Saturday hours? I am available most Saturday mornings to help you fit therapy into your busy life! I have 21 years of counseling experience with multiple populations.
All parts are welcome! Do you ever feel like you have different parts of yourself that are struggling with each other and preventing you from moving ahead? Deep down inside of us we have inherent wisdom it is only a matter of tapping into that wisdom as a resource for healing. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Pennsylvania and have been practicing since various clinical settings. My background includes training in addiction, EMDR, psychodrama, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I also integrate narrative therapy, art-based interventions, and Internal Family Systems in order to creatively integrate those parts of self that need attention and healing. True healing can accelerate in a relationship that is non-judgmental, accepting and warm and I seek to offer these aspects in my approach. You don’t have to carry the heavy burdens of your life alone- we can walk this road together!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Newtown Square
Searching for therapists in Newtown Square starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can help you understand their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or support for specific life stages.
Newtown Square is a smaller community, so nearby in-person openings may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Pennsylvania while still connecting you with a licensed therapist who can provide care in your state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you learn how each therapist structures sessions and communicates with new clients.
Therapy in Newtown Square can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs after you enter your plan details, and lets you book directly when you are ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
