Theresa Bradbury

Theresa Bradbury is a psychologist licensed to practice in Pennsylvania, bringing 26 years of experience in mental health care for children and their families. She has spent much of her career helping young people and families manage emotional and behavioral dysregulation as well as learning challenges, supporting improved functioning at home and in school.

For more than a decade she worked on child and adolescent units within a psychiatric hospital, and in the role of educational consultant she evaluated students with a wide range of diagnoses, including ADD, ODD, Tourette’s Disorder, autism spectrum conditions, intellectual disability, anorexia, depression, OCD, and others. In that capacity she developed individualized IEPs and 504 Plans to guide students' transitions back to their home schools.

Her public school experience includes twelve years as a school psychologist in Pittsburgh, PA, followed by five years working after a move to the west coast. Over the years she has administered and interpreted hundreds of psychoeducational tests. While in-person assessments were placed on hold during the pandemic, she continues to be a resource for families with questions about school progress.

Theresa’s combined work in both medical and educational settings has given her a nuanced understanding of school systems from educational and legal perspectives, along with practical expertise in developing and monitoring effective IEPs. In private practice she has pursued advanced study in PTSD, anger management, depression, and ADHD, treating both children and adults.

The pandemic and recent economic pressures have affected many people in ways they may not yet fully understand. If someone is seeking support during these times, Theresa encourages reaching out to begin the conversation.
