“Jack is such an amazing therapist! I've seen many therapists before and ended up crying during my last session with them because they couldn't really help me. But Jack is different. He not only helped me overcome my PTSD, which made it hard for me to even start a project because it triggered me, but he also guided me through it over the phone, calming me down and helping me breathe through it. Thanks to him, I was able to achieve most of my goals.”

Getting to know Jack Cottom

The provider is a “Licensed Professional Counselor" and their license number is 37PC00673700 Hi, I am Jack Cottom, a licensed professional counselor. I have been practicing psychotherapy for the past 10 years. I am a native Philadelphian; however, I have traveled quite a bit. It's actually one of my passions! I identify as a Black American male of African descent, which gives me a certain perspective and experience of the world. I have a lot of experience working with folks who share my gender, ethnic, and racial makeup, as well as experience working with people from many different demographics. I am open to working with anyone who is vested in healing and working through personal issues. I earned my Master's in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from Chestnut Hill College and my Bachelor's degree from Georgia State University. I believe counseling is hugely powerful because, through the relationship, you are able to gain some awareness about yourself, learn some skills, and implement those skills to live the life that you ultimately want to live. My goal in my practice is to assist you with addressing the ?thing? that has you stuck in a certain place?whether it is a way of thinking and/or behaving, trauma, or lack of knowledge and/or skill. Again, my goal is to get you up, moving, and operating at your best levels and, most importantly, feeling better!

What should a new client know about working with you?

During our first session together I will gather and review background information about yourself, what you are seeking therapy for and why now. I will review with guidelines and boundaries that will help structure our time together for example the session time, limits of confidentiality, and consents. I will also discuss with you any barriers that may get in the way of us working together and being successful.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
