Hi, I’m Dr. Theodora Malinowski, a licensed psychologist in Pennsylvania. I provide individual therapy and comprehensive ADHD evaluations for adults.

Much of my practice focuses on supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals through the unique challenges that come with identity development, systemic harm, and social marginalization. I also work extensively with survivors of trauma, including those impacted by intimate partner violence, childhood abuse, and medical or systemic trauma. Other areas of focus include anxiety, ADHD, identity-related stress, chronic illness, chronic pain, invisible disabilities, grief, and life transitions. I particularly enjoy working with college and graduate students, first responders, and individuals healing from relational trauma or abuse. My practice is well suited for those seeking an affirming, trauma-informed, and personalized approach to therapy.

I draw from an integrative, person-centered framework, blending elements of Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Relational-Cultural Therapy, DBT-informed coping strategies, interpersonal processes, and humanistic psychology.
