Getting to know Dr. Craig Lichtman

Dr. Lichtman does not participate directly in any insurance plans. Please check your insurance coverage for any out-of-network benefits that may allow you to file claims and receive reimbursement directly. He prescribes medication only for patients he sees in psychotherapy and does not provide disability evaluations. For more scheduling options, please schedule with Dr. Lichtman on Zocdoc, and he will call you to discuss further arrangements. Dr. Lichtman understands that change can be scary and that patterns are hard to break, but when patients commit to-and invest in-the process, it is possible for them to change their lives in ways they cannot currently imagine. Craig Lichtman, MD, MBA, earned his Doctor of Medicine from Case Western Reserve University. He completed his internship at Graduate Hospital and his residency in psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania. He has been practicing psychodynamic psychiatry, psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis in the Greater Philadelphia area for more than 30 years. Dr. Lichtman works primarily with individuals but often consults with couples, families, family businesses, and organizations to help with relationship and group dynamics. He specializes in helping patients overcome the challenges and responsibilities that come with the transition into adulthood. While stumbling blocks can arise at any age, they most often occur in rising adults in their late teens to early 30s. As a Consultation-Liaison Psychiatrist, Dr. Lichtman is frequently asked by medical colleagues to consult on their patients. He is a respected resource in the multidisciplinary care of patients involving psychiatry, psychology, medicine, neurology, surgery, psychosomatic medicine, and hospital systems. Dr. Lichtman is a Fellow of the International Psychoanalytical Association and is on the Faculty of the Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia. My goal is to provide comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to each individual's unique needs.
