If you are looking for a therapist, you are likely to be struggling with emotional or physical pain and have tried a number of solutions that have not been helpful. However, you can learn a variety of mindfulness and behavioral practices that will help you to reduce your suffering and live a more vibrant life. If you feel as though you are encountering barriers to living the life you want, then you can learn to let go of and stay out of old patterns of negative thinking and behavior.
I am Yaacov J. Kravitz, Ed. D., a licensed psychologist providing psychotherapy and mindfulness meditation groups in my Jenkintown, PA office. I have been in private practice in the Philadelphia area since 1989. In my work with individuals and groups I emphasize a values based approach to behavior change. Each client learns a variety of mindfulness based practices customized to his or her individual situation, and how to apply them in difficult situations.
I typically work with clients who have depression, anxiety, stress, addictive behavior or chronic illness.
