Getting to know Davida Bolger

Hello, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Davida Bolger, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 25 years of experience. I hold a Master's degree in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. My approach to therapy centers on developing rapport, conveying empathy, and establishing a strong therapeutic alliance based on mutual trust, honesty, and respect. It is my goal that clients feel safe to communicate their concerns and collaborate with me to develop an effective plan to achieve their goals and successful outcomes. I have worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families facing a wide variety of challenges, including depressive, bipolar, anxiety, substance use, conduct, and co-occurring disorders (mental health and substance use). My approach to providing therapy is warm, caring, non-judgmental, ethical, and culturally and spiritually competent. I use multiple theoretical approaches, depending on which best addresses the individual's presenting problem. These may include psychodynamic theories (psychoanalytical, Jungian, and Adlerian), humanistic/existential theories (existential, person-centered, and Gestalt), behavioral and cognitive theories (behavioral, cognitive, and cognitive behavioral), as well as family systems theory, solution-focused brief therapy, and narrative therapy. I have worked extensively with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing a wide range of challenges. I am most comfortable treating depressive disorders (including premenstrual dysphoric disorder), major depressive episodes (including grief and loss), disruptive mood dysregulation disorder in children, bipolar disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma- and stressor-related conditions (including trauma, situational stress factors, and adjustment disorders), and substance-related and addictive disorders.
