Jamie Papadakis, MS, NCC, Therapist

Neuroaffirming Therapy and Autism & ADHD Assessments in Doylestown, PA

I provide compassionate, affirming therapy and counseling in Doylestown, PA, and virtually throughout Pennsylvania, for clients ages 5 and older, including children, adolescents, teens, adults, and families. My specialties are eating disorders (including ARFID, Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), neurodivergence (autism and ADHD), anxiety, depression, and neuroaffirming autism and ADHD assessments. I am also skilled at supporting clients with issues such as navigating emotional regulation, social skills, trauma, adoption, and self-harm.

Therapy is a collaborative journey. I build genuine connections with clients by being authentic, approachable, and transparent, so they can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment. Together, we process challenges, uncover strengths, and develop practical strategies that support growth and healing. 

My Approach

I primarily use reality therapy and solution-focused techniques, adapted to each client’s needs, goals, and neurotype. I have specialized training in Aggression Replacement Training (A.R.T.), which strengthens my work on emotional regulation and social skills. I also use other evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), play therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), so that care is comprehensive and tailored to each person.
