 Dr.Yaacov J. Kravitz

                 Welcome to my web site. I am Yaacov J. Kravitz, Ed.D., a licensed psychologist providing psychotherapy and mindfulness meditation groups in my Elkins Park, PA office.

                 I have been in private practice in the Philadelphia area since 1989.   I also serve as the psychological consultant to Inglis House, A Wheelchair Community serving individuals with physical disabilities.  Executive Coaching for professionals and business owners is provided through office visits and telephone consultation. 

                   Programs and services offered include

  • Individual psychotherapy using cognitive and mindfulness approaches. My goal is to provide respectful and compassionate therapy that will help you to find relief from suffering and to meet your personal goals.

  • Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy groups. Learn a variety of powerful, yet gentle, mindfulness practices  including mindfulness meditation, simple muscle stretching and relaxation, and mental imagery.  Learn how to step out of and stay out of old, well practiced patterns of negative thinking and behavior. Individual  and group formats are available. Please call to inquire about when our next group will begin.

                    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. Therapy focuses on learning the skills needed to actualize the values important to you as you pursue your chosen goals.

              I have spent 30 years working on the integration of spirituality and psychology.   For more information about my work in the area of spirituality please go to www.spiritualintelligence.com.

                Dr. Kravitz received  his doctorate  in Psychoeducational Processes from Temple University in 1983. He received additional training in psychotherapy at the Pastoral Counseling and Education Center in Dallas Texas and has advanced training in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).
