Dr. Jeffery Robbins

Hello! I'm a Licensed Psychologist based in Pennsylvania. I received my Doctorate from Rutgers University in Counseling Psychology and a Masters from Columbia University in Clinical Social Work. I have been practicing for over 40 years helping individuals, couples and families dealing with anxiety and depression and other important difficulties as well as communication, conflict resolution and anger management issues. Overall, I help all of my clients find the best ways to deal with and resolve the difficulties preventing them from living a full, satisfying and happy life.

As a Psychologist I have been primarily utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as my go to treatment methodology for over 40 years. I have been trained extensively in CBT through graduate education, conferences, workshops, webinars, etc. Additionally, I have been trained and supervised by Psychologists who are recognized experts in CBT. It is frequently my first choice of treatment methods with new patients unless they prefer otherwise. Since I deal primarily with anxiety and depression presenting diagnoses, I have found CBT to be an effective approach with these issues and many of my clients find CBT helpful and even enjoyable as well.

Additionally I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults either individually, or with significant others (e.g., marriages/couples or other family members, etc.). Many of my clients are very interested in getting professional help to deal with a wide range of challenges that they can't resolve. They often begin therapy feeling overwhelmed and worried about many issues and anxious to finally get started in treatment.

The first session will include some brief information and history taking followed by focusing and clearly understanding the issues that bring you to treatment. We will also design a preliminary treatment plan that will give us some initial ideas of what we can work on together in future visits.

I always spend a good deal of time developing and maintaining a comfortable, positive and productive work environment with all of my clients. I firmly believe that our work together should be based on a collaborative approach that helps my clients to feel they are respected and valued regardless of the issues they bring to treatment.

I feel that I have developed a rich array of skillsets as a Psychologist that will help to quickly identify and design a treatment plan with you that will get us working immediately on helping you with any and all of your concerns.
