Service Information

Onsite vs Telehealth: Participants are able to state a preference for whether in-person, telehealth, or a combination of both works best for them. New participants should talk to intake staff and/or their assigned intake evaluator about their preference for receiving on-site or telehealth services at their intake session.

Emergencies: If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call the Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disability Services' crisis line by dialing 988 (the new national mental health crisis number) or 215-685-6440 (available 24 hours per day) or visit this website for more options.

 

Our Misson & Approach

To serve survivors of trauma and individuals with a history of sexual or relational violence by providing high-quality evidence-based psychotherapy, training, education, consultation, and prevention services.

Our Approach

Restoring Hope with Dignity

Joseph J. Peters Institute has a singular approach: To restore hope with dignity. It’s who we are. It’s what we do. We are dedicated to helping individuals and their families heal, within a safe environment that promotes  resiliency.

We understand there is life beyond trauma and our skilled and experienced clinicians help those we serve to reach that new life.

Individuals who contact JJPI to receive services will receive a quick phone screening and will be scheduled for an intake evaluation appointment, usually within one to two weeks, to determine a course of treatment.

The psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, and counselors at Joseph J. Peters Institute use a variety of evidence-based treatments that are recognized by leading authorities on treatment, such as the United States Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
