Theresa Bradbury, PA Psychologist PS 006223 L

Theresa Bradbury is a Pennsylvania licensed psychologist with 26 years of experience helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate emotional and behavioral challenges. She holds the credential PA Psychologist PS 006223 L, which indicates her licensure as a psychologist in Pennsylvania (license number PS 006223 L).

Her early career included more than a decade on child and adolescent units at a psychiatric hospital, where she served as an educational consultant and evaluated young people with diagnoses such as ADD, ODD, Tourette disorder, autism, intellectual disability, anorexia, depression, and OCD. In that role she developed individualized IEPs and 504 plans to support students returning to their home schools.

Theresa also worked as a school psychologist for twelve years in Pittsburgh, PA and for five years on the west coast, providing assessment, consultation, and support within public school systems. Over the years she has administered and interpreted hundreds of psychoeducational tests, giving families and schools information they can use to support a child’s learning and development. Her combined experience in medical and educational settings has produced a practical understanding of school procedures, legal considerations, and the design and monitoring of successful IEPs.

In private practice, her advanced study areas include PTSD, anger management, depression, and ADHD in both children and adults. She offers guidance for individuals and families coping with life changes, stress, grief, relationship issues, and a range of other concerns, and she encourages reaching out for support during challenging times such as those prompted by the pandemic and related financial pressures.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to your needs

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and develop practical steps to live in ways that matter to them. It emphasizes mindfulness, acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, and committed action to improve day-to-day functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and emotional response. It focuses on strengthening relational health and safety, and can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and grief.

Theresa integrates these approaches with a client-centered outlook, working collaboratively to identify which methods best fit each person’s goals and preferences. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process, and she partners with clients to adjust strategies based on progress and changing needs.

Online sessions via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexible ways to access care from home or work. These options make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow continuity of support during busy or disrupted periods, while still enabling meaningful work with licensed professionals and therapists.
