Supporting Trauma,
Neurodivergent Clients
and Adoption Journeys
Online in Pennsylvania & PSYPACT States
Welcome—I’m Dr. Gina, a psychologist who specializes in helping adoptees, teens, and adults navigate identity, emotional regulation, trauma, and neurodivergence with clarity and confidence. As an adoptee, an adoptive mother, and a parent of two neurodivergent children, I understand firsthand how complex, meaningful, and challenging these journeys can be. I bring both lived insight and clinical training to support you.
I also specialize in trauma, anxiety, emotional regulation, identity development and neurodivergence. I typically use brain-based, practical interventions- like grounding, paced breathing, and problem solving strategies-to help calm the amygdala, strengthen fronta lobe regulation, and build emotional stability. I also offer ADHD evaluations for ages 14 and up using a comprehensive, trauma-sensitive, neurodivergent-affirming process that considers attention, executive functioning, sleep, trauma history, mood, and sensory needs.
My approach is warm, grounded, and highly individualized. I focus on creating a supportive therapeutic space where you can reconnect with yourself, understand your internal world, and move toward the life you want.
I work extensively with adoption, foster and kinship backgrounds, anxiety, chronic stress, grief, and ADHD. My style is calm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. Together, we explore patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and build a sense of direction and self-trust.
My work with adoption is guided by the Seven Core Issues of Adoption (loss, rejection, guilt/shame, grief, identity, intimacy, and mastery/control). These core themes often show up in unique ways across the lifespan. In therapy, I help adoptees, adoptive parents, and birth/kinship families understand and navigate these experiences with clarity.
In therapy, I integrate EMDR-informed (in advanced training), CBT, DBT-informed skills, solution-focused approaches, sleep hygiene support, and creative, expressive or play-based elements when helpful. My work is grounded in attachment, identity, and the belief that meaningful change becomes possible when people feel understood, supported, and safe.
Research consistently shows that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes in counseling. I prioritize creating a relationship that feels safe, collaborative, and grounded in respect so you can explore, heal, and grow at a pace that feels right for you.
I bring specialized training in trauma-informed care, identity development, and crisis intervention. I previously served on the HISD Crisis Team and supported Hurricane Katrina and Rita evacuees during large-scale relocation efforts, experience that shaped my calm, grounded approach to care.
My goal is to help you find steadiness, develop self-efficacy, and move forward with clarity—one step at a time.

How can online therapy help me?
Therapy offers space to understand yourself more deeply, build emotional regulation skills, and create meaningful change. I draw from my personal experience as an adoptee, an adoptive mother, and a parent of two neurodivergent children to offer grounded, empathetic, and identity-affirming care. Many of the individuals and families I work with are navigating anxiety, trauma, adoption-related experiences, identity questions, or chronic stress.
I use evidence-based, empirically supported approaches including CBT, DBT-informed skills, EMDR (in advanced training), and trauma-informed, attachment-based frameworks.
Whether you’re strengthening coping skills, exploring deeper patterns, or seeking clarity, online therapy makes it possible to do this work from a safe and quiet environment at your own pace.
All sessions are offered via secure telehealth and scheduled in Eastern Standard Time (EST).
Do you offer ADHD evaluations?
Yes. We provide screening as well as comprehensive ADHD evaluations for teens (14+) and adults. My process is neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and designed to look beyond symptoms. Evaluations consider:
Attention and executive functioning
Daily life impairment
Trauma and stress history
Mood and sleep
Sensory patterns
Developmental and family history
Collateral and observational information
Do you specialize in adoption, foster, and kinship care?
Yes. I work extensively with adoptees, adoptive parents, foster families, and kinship caregivers. Therapy may explore identity development, emotional regulation, grief and loss, attachment patterns, and the ways early experiences shape internal narratives.
I also support adult adoptees navigating identity, search and reunion, or complex family dynamics.
You are welcome here whether adoption is central to your story or simply one thread in a larger life experience.
How do I contact you?
You can schedule a consultation or session directly through the secure client portal.
You may also call (540) 209-4717 and leave a message—your call will be returned as soon as possible.
What are your fees?
My therapy sessions are $150 per 50-minute appointment.
ADHD evaluations are offered at three levels:
• Tier 1 – Screening Evaluation: $350
A focused assessment to determine whether ADHD is likely and whether a full evaluation is recommended.
• Tier 2 – Full Evaluation: $600
A comprehensive diagnostic evaluation including history, symptom measures, functional assessment, and a written report.
• Tier 3 – Comprehensive Evaluation: $825
An expanded, trauma-informed, adoption-competent ADHD evaluation including full history, multi-domain assessment, collateral information (optional), a detailed diagnostic report, and a follow-up session.
All sessions and evaluations are private pay. Payment is due at the time of service, and a superbill can be provided for possible insurance reimbursement.
All sessions are in Eastern Standard Time (EST).
Do you offer group therapy? What are the fees?
Yes. I currently offer adoptee groups (teens and adults), anger management groups (teens and adults), and adoptive parent support groups.
Fees range from $40–$55 per session depending on the group format.
What is the client portal?
The client portal is a confidential space where you can:
Schedule appointments
Pay for sessions
Send secure messages and forms
Review or sign documents
Start video sessions
Access billing statements and superbills
All communication through the portal is encrypted to protect your privacy.
Do you take insurance?
I am an out-of-network provider. This means you pay for sessions directly, and I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan, so I recommend checking with your insurance company about your out-of-network mental health benefits.
Please note: once a claim is submitted to insurance, I cannot control how your information is handled by that company.
Is what we discuss in therapy confidential?
Yes. What you share in therapy is private and protected by law. Information can only be released with your written consent, except in situations where I am legally required to act to protect your safety or the safety of others. These situations include:
Serious risk of harm to yourself or someone else
Suspected abuse or neglect of a child, dependent adult, or elder
Certain court orders or subpoenas
If you use insurance reimbursement, your insurance company will have access to dates of service and diagnosis information.
What should I expect during my consultation or first session?
You’ll only need a computer, tablet, or phone with video capability. I meet clients from a private, secure location and ask that you do the same.
During the consultation, we’ll discuss what brought you to therapy, your concerns and goals, and what you’d like to focus on. You’ll also get a clear sense of my approach and whether working together feels like a good fit.
If you decide to continue, you’ll complete intake and consent forms through the portal before your first full session.
How long will therapy take?
Therapy length varies depending on your goals, what you want to work on, and the pace that feels right for you. Some clients work with me short-term to build specific skills; others benefit from longer-term support, especially when exploring deeper patterns, trauma, adoption-related themes, grief, or emotional regulation.
We will regularly review your goals and progress to ensure therapy continues to feel meaningful and productive.
If you’re ready to begin, you can schedule a consultation or send a secure message through the client portal. I look forward to supporting you.

GinaMarie Dattilo, PsyD
Welcome — I’m Dr. Gina, and I bring over 25 years of clinical experience helping individuals and families build resilience, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change in their lives. I am an adoptee myself, an adoptive parent, and a parent of two neurodivergent children. These lived experiences shape my understanding, deepen my compassion, and help me create a space where you feel truly seen and understood.
I received my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from La Salle University in 2005 and completed my APA-equivalent internship and post-doctoral training in Crisis and Multicultural Psychology in Houston, Texas. Over the years, I have intentionally sought out diverse clinical experiences, working in outpatient clinics, in-home programs, residential treatment centers, crisis teams, and school-based services. I have worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families across a wide range of needs.
Through this work, I developed specialized expertise in areas that continue to be central to my practice today:
Adoption & Permanency (children, teens, adults, and adoptive families)
Kinship & Foster Care Transitions
Anxiety & Chronic Worry
Emotional Regulation & Frustration Tolerance
ADHD & Executive Functioning (adults and teens)
Autism Spectrum / Neurodivergence
Coping Skills & Stress Reduction
Trauma, Grief & Loss
Parenting Support & Healthy Family Boundaries
Relationship Communication & Conflict Patterns
My approach integrates evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT-informed skills, trauma-focused interventions, EMDR (in progress toward certification), play-based and creative therapies, solution-focused strategies, and crisis/stabilization frameworks.
Across all areas, my goal is the same:
to help you build self-efficacy, trust your path forward, and create the life you want.
