Therapists in Doylestown, PA

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. Let me share a little information about myself, then the rest of this journey is all about you! I have worked in the counseling field for the past 15 years to present. My experience working with individuals who experience anxiety, depression and mood disorders is extensive. I also have a significant amount of experience working with adolescents and teenagers who experience various school stressors, physical stressors, self esteem concerns and relationship issues. For individuals working toward licensure in Pennsylvania, I provide clinical supervision services (visit my website for more information).

Deciding to call a therapist and reach out for support with life's challenges requires courage and a leap of faith in your self. Your desire to end your suffering is where this healing journey begins. Your call or email is the first step. If you are reading this, the time is now. I understand the human condition, the trepidation about going to therapy and the place you are in life right now. I am here for you. Know that aside from decades of professional training as a therapist, I have also been a client for my own personal growth and healing.

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes"..... Do you ever feel like you are stuck in a cage without a key? Are you caught in an unexpected or difficult situation which seems increasingly demanding? Maybe you find yourself caught up in thoughts, memories or behaviors which leave you feeling diminished or scared, and leave others feeling worried about you. Via psychotherapy, we can turn these experiences around by effecting changes in the way you experience yourself and your world.

Ginny Wolper (she/her) is a Licensed Professional Counselor who has an extensive history in working with survivors of trauma, particularly those in the LGBTQ+ community. She is trained in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) which she uses to teach her clients how to manage their symptoms and process the traumatic events they have endured. In addition to TF-CBT and DBT, Ginny often uses other modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), insight-oriented therapy, psychodynamic practices, and internal family systems (IFS).

My ideal client struggles with self-esteem, anxiety, and/or neurodivergence. They need reassurance, reframing of insecurities, support, and perhaps encouragement to advocate for themselves. Through therapy, they plan to achieve greater self-confidence, independence, and satisfaction with life. They may want a second opinion on their questions and troubles, perhaps due to societal invalidation, sexism, homophobia, and racism.

I believe that fit between therapist and client is one of the most important factors in counseling. My style is to adapt my approach to the client's personality and needs. Some people want or respond well to a lot of feedback, suggestions, and structured goals, while others need a good listener more than anything else. I strive to put the client first in developing the treatment plan. I have extensive experience in treating a broad range of issues and in psychological assessment. Feel free to call first to discuss your needs if you are not sure that I'm the right therapist for you.

Entering therapy is an act of self care that takes courage. It is an opportunity to take pause and honor who we are and how we got here. My approach is to encourage clients to dig deep into what it means to be happy, content, and fulfilled. This process is as much about the questions as it is the answers. I work collaboratively with clients to better understand themselves and their relationships, build insight and distress tolerance, and to develop a "toolbox" to better communicate and relate with their loved ones. Combined, this results in a refined awareness of self and a deeper permission to feel, change, and grow.

I specialize in working with children, teen and adult individuals as well as family systems being impacted by depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance abuse, eating disorders, LGBTQ+ topics, trauma processing/PTSD, relational challenges and behavioral disorders. Drawing from a variety of treatment styles and approaches including Experiential, Acceptance and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (one of the most effective treatments for many chronic, recurring, and challenging mental health conditions), I focus on establishment of systemic connection and the emotional experience, authenticity, empathic understanding and compassion.

Helping others is my passion in life and I feel so fortunate to have a career that I love. I place a top priority on creating a non-judgmental and safe space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings through an eclectic mix of therapy interventions. We will work together to find the root causes of whatever may be keeping you stuck. Each individual is unique and understanding your experience is very important to me. I’m excited to work with you!

I believe every human deserves the space and individualized attention to process life's many ups and downs. You know yourself and everything you have been through better than anyone else. My goal is to foster a safe space and collaborative relationship to get to know your strengths, desires, your passions, and to support your needs and goals for improved mental health.

Navigating life's challenges can be tough. We all need an outlet at times! I’m dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable therapeutic space, recognizing how overwhelming/intimidating the journey can be. Building a genuine connection is crucial to me—expect no cold interactions; I'll always be authentically myself, and yes, humor might find its way into our sessions!
