Getting to know Dr. Dora Ghetie
I am a licensed psychologist practicing in Valley Forge, PA, and via telehealth. I work with people from all walks of life, facing a wide range of challenges. I provide individual therapy to late adolescents (over 18 years old) and adults. With many years of experience in college counseling, my current practice is about half young adults and half adults of all ages. I am LGBTQ friendly and enjoy working with individuals from diverse and multicultural backgrounds.
I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Widener University and completed advanced training in psychoanalytic studies at the Institute for Relational Psychoanalysis of Philadelphia.
Whether you are seeking help for a specific problem or more general dissatisfaction with your life, I view therapy as a learning process-a way to become more self-aware, improve relationships, and live a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. This learning requires effort because change, even positive change, is often difficult. However, it becomes a little easier within the supportive relationship of therapy.
Therapy is not a quick fix. If you are looking for someone to address a specific symptom in a short period, I may not be the best fit. But if you are interested in a deeper exploration of yourself and personal growth that goes beyond symptom reduction, we would likely work well together.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work in a collaborative, open-ended manner. I believe that I can be most effective by doing a lot of listening, posing questions, sharing observations. Each visit is an opportunity to talk about whatever is on your mind that day. Over time themes will emerge that will help you better understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Dora was recommended by a friend and I am most thankful. Dora has been professional and kind throughout our work together. Dora has the ability to understand what you need at any given time,as with therapy your needs change. The therapeutic relationship is the core of what Dora builds upon. She is honest,intelligent,caring and has provided help, healing and understanding at a crucial time in my life.

Working with Dr. Ghetie has been my first experience with therapy. I was very skeptical that I would be able to open up to anyone at first, but she always listened in a very calm and non-judgemental way. I now see her twice a week and truly believe that having an objective ear to bounce my thoughts off of regularly has allowed me to become more present in my life.
