I am honored to announce that I have attained adoption competence, distinguishing me as the sole psychologist in Chester County, PA, to have achieved this specialized training through NTI & TAC.
I currently have a few openings. Beyond my work with the adoption community, my professional specialties include anxiety, anger and frustration management, as well as tailored support for the neurodivergent community. I am affiliated with Springfield Behavioral in Exton, providing both in-person and online sessions. To arrange an appointment, please call the intake department at (610) 544-2110 ext 1, indicating your preference to work with me. They will verify your insurance coverage and schedule your initial appointment.

Welcome to Forward Focus Therapy, LLC
Online therapy focused on helping individuals improve their wellbeing, decrease stress, & live a more balanced life.

As a business woman & mother of two, I know the challenge. Having time for yourself, your family, friends, and work can be a struggle – therapy should not be. That is why I started Forward Focus Online Therapy. I provide support, a new perspective, as well as practical, evidence based interventions that build on your strengths to help you achieve your goals. Since our work will be online or by phone you get the added benefit of working with an experienced psychologist, while you are in your preferred location, at a convenient time! No worries about child/eldercare, traffic, parking, or any of the concerns that come with traditional therapy.

Change can be challenging, scary even but with it come endless new possibilities. The skills and techniques you may develop can help you feel prepared to meet the demands of today’s world. My goal is helping you achieve your goals. I strive to make you feel understood and to help you effect the change you desire.

Therapy can help and in my experience, there are three ingredients needed for effective therapy: a desire for change, effective interventions and a positive relationship with your therapist.

Move forward to future that you want. Contact me today: https://ginamariedattilo.icouch.me/
