My path to becoming a therapist has been anything but traditional. I earned my bachelor's degree in Fashion Design from Kent State University before discovering my passion for helping others, which led me to earn a master's degree in School Counseling from Long Island University in Brooklyn, New York.
For nearly 10 years, I have worked as an in-school counselor at a public high school, supporting adolescents through life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, helping clients build practical coping skills, increase self-confidence, and navigate difficult moments with resilience.
My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
I am an LCSW, psychotherapist, with 12+ yrs experience in the Mental Health field. I have worked in many different Mental Health Settings such as: Residential, IBHS, Drug/Alcohol, and Community Based. Specializations include: CCTP, EMDR, and Anxiety, Depression.
I'm Jennifer, and I know that deciding to reach out takes real courage. I've spent 23 years working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, eating disorders, autism spectrum concerns, tic disorders, and OCD. My BTTI certification in Tourette's and OCD treatment means you can bring even the most complex or misunderstood challenges here. My approach is practical, compassionate, and built around what you specifically need. I'd love to be part of your story.
I’m a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. My work blends traditional counseling with mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and body-based practices, so clients don’t just talk about their challenges—they develop practical tools to handle them in real life.
I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and am also an experienced yoga and meditation teacher (ERYT-500). I’ve spent years integrating Eastern philosophy and modern psychology into a grounded, accessible approach that helps people feel more in control of their thoughts, emotions, and choices.
I specialize in helping clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning but internally stressed, and are looking for more than coping—they want clarity, purpose, and a better way to move through life.
My approach is both practical and reflective. I focus on two key areas: helping you regulate your nervous system so you feel more steady day to day, and helping you shift your perspective so you can respond to life more intentionally instead of reacting on autopilot.
I’ve also developed and led a mindfulness-based program used in schools, healthcare systems, and organizations, with measurable outcomes in stress reduction, emotional regulation, and focus .
If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are but also challenge you to grow, we’ll likely be a good fit.
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.
Hello! I'm so happy you stopped by! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I have 13 years of experience in the mental health field and I have also recently completed doctoral training in clinical psychology. I specialize in psychodynamic therapy and have a great deal of experience in working with people with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship problems and concerns and personality concerns/disorders.
I have over a decade of experience working with people as they navigate life transitions. I understand struggling and feeling overwhelmed, and I believe that adding support and guidance can help alleviate life's stressors.
I've worked multiple years as a therapist in a community mental health center, a partial hospitalization program, and a nursing home. I try to understand where you are starting and where you are trying to go. I believe that there is value in humor, storytelling, and understanding different perspectives.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in West Chester, PA
Searching for therapists in West Chester starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may support people with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, or work stress. As you compare options, look for a West Chester therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
West Chester is a smaller city, so local in-person appointment options may vary by schedule, specialty, and location. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Pennsylvania while still giving you access to licensed therapists who may fit your needs. As you narrow your search for therapy in West Chester, PA, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in West Chester can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, offer virtual or in-person sessions, and are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists, review bios, check insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.
