Dr. Erin Adamitis, PsyD
Owner/Licensed Psychologist
$195/hour - Exton Office
In practice since 2013, Erin (she/her) opened the Pediatric Psychology Center of Chester County in early 2020 to continue her work providing both assessment and treatment of children/families managing a number of developmental and behavioral concerns. Her long-term goal was to develop a unique office that provides a solid medical home for families to receive a variety of clinical services under one roof, and indeed the practice grew much more quickly than expected in an attempt to meet the needs of the community throughout the pandemic. Erin values the opportunity to provide a solid fit in treatment for each incoming client with as short a wait as possible.
Erin’s personal approach is behaviorally-based and solution-focused to help both parent and child work together to see actionable change, taking into account her own experiences parenting a brood of (4!) young children. After years of training in the world of autism spectrum disorder, more recent years of experience have led Erin to develop a passion in working with kids managing symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, giftedness, and very often the combination of all three. In her very rare free time, she enjoys photography, reading, playing the piano, and attempting to complete various Pinterest projects around the house. Her family maintains a strong Bears vs Eagles rivalry and collectively roots for the Ohio State Buckeyes.
