Elders (65+) Therapists in Plymouth Meeting, PA

I am an experienced psychologist who helps adolescents and adults overcome a variety of mental health and life challenges. I specialize in adolescent and adult survivors of abuse and trauma. This includes childhood abuse, sexual abuse/assault, complex PTSD, and medical trauma. Another specialty of mine is chronic pain and illness, including syndromes that are difficult to diagnose and treat. I also particularly enjoy working with folks in the LGBTQ+ community. Lastly, I provide psychological assessment for ADHD in adults, as well as IQ and personality/diagnostic testing.

In my 30 plus years of practice, I have devoted most of my time to the treatment of adolescents and adults of all ages. I have particular expertise in the area of mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, chronic illness and headache disorders, as well as life transitions. As well as treating individuals, I also do parent counseling and marital therapy. My approach incorporates a blending of psychodynamic theory, cognitive-behavioral strategies and psychoeducation. A thorough assessment of each patient helps me to formulate a plan that is individualized and focused on accomplishing specific goals.

My practice serves individuals who are struggling with various issues such as relationships, self-esteem, drugs and alcohol bullying, anger management, grief and loss and other mental health hurdles. I help clients who feel that their life is spiraling out of control, gain self discipline, and develop coping strategies, which ultimately leads them to inner peace. As a young teen, I know it must be difficult handling bullying whether it is online or in person. It is crucial providing a safe place to discuss sensitive matters and that is why we are conducting weekly groups for teens so that they know that they are not alone.

I work from a Trauma-Informed and Patient-Centered approach. I believe in psychotherapy and the benefits of having a safe and trusting interpersonal connection where we can explore and talk about the ups and downs life brings. One of the reasons I chose this profession is the desire to help people alleviate the emotional pain they experience.

While feeling better is always job one, the best psychotherapy moves beyond our painful feelings, replacing them with a more hopeful vision. My special passion is to support you -- not just in feeling less sad, anxious or confused -- but also in living an more satisfying life, Drawing on my extensive "real world" experience as an attorney and community leader, I offer traditional counseling tools - and more -- teaching the real world skills you need to more effectively negotiate the world as it is and working to mold the environments you live in ways that are more decent and humane.

Annie Jacob is a Licensed Professional Counselor who has extensive experience treating individuals with depression, anxiety, substance use/addiction, ADHD and trauma. She treats individuals ages 17 and up (older adolescent, adult, and geriatric) and uses evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

Having extensive experience, I use empirically supported therapies, and have treated a wide range of ages as well as the most serious disorders. It is my belief that salient therapy treats a client in 3 different directions: top-down (spiritual dimension), inside out (healing of memories), and outside-in (Cognitive-Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy). After a thorough assessment, I would identify with my client, determine problems on which to work, set appropriate goals, and determine the correct therapeutic intervention(s) to be used. Meeting those goals would be a therapeutic benchmark throughout the therapy.

My passion is working with clients who desire to recover from substance use disorders. I work with early, middle, and late stage recovery candidates - both individuals and their families. My primary focus is the use of individual & group interventions to assist with the recognition of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral triggers which cause relapse. These paramount issues when resolved can lead to freedom from the bondage of addiction. I also specialize in grief/loss, anxiety & depressive disorders, building healthy relationships, and co-dependency. My mission is simple - to help others with compassion, empathy, & respect.

We are all working to do the best we can and sometimes we just need another perspective and the resources for trying new tools or strategies.

Experiences of parenting three children, grandchildren and a 30 year marriage give me a deep respect for the challenges and the effort we all bring to our lives.
