Getting to know Jamil Akil

The provider is a “Licensed Professional Counselor" and their license number is 37PC01107700. True success is the predictable result of hard work, patience, sacrifice & learning put into practice everyday. - Unknown Hey there! Thank you for sliding on past my profile and the above quote is essential to not only my mindset in how I approach everyday as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) but also how I want to assist in creating a space for my clients. I am currently based in Pennsylvania & have over 10 years of experience working with an array of clients. I have helped many from young adults to older adults take a deep dive within themselves to challenge thoughts, perspectives and beliefs that create a mental and emotional limitation on becoming a more empowered and improved version of themselves. My goal is to respectfully challenge and guide clientele to look within themselves since they are the best expert on their own life and choices so that they can discover the innate skills and abilities that can take them to higher heights within their situations and lives.

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.

The energy and tough questions came at the right time. It feels effortless to open up and get into why I am choosing therapy to get to a better place. I will definitely be making more appointments.
Had my first session with Jamil today and it was a really positive experience. He was incredibly understanding and a great listener. As a Black man, being able to speak openly with another Black man about what I'm going through made me feel truly heard and seen. I'm looking forward to continuing our sessions and learning new tools to help me grow and move forward.
I really appreciated his honesty and perspective. I also enjoyed that it felt like a conversation while also being solution oriented. I look forward to working with him in future. ??
Great conversation for the initial meet. Jamil was very attentive and provided solutions to our concerns. I look forward to future sessions.
Jamil was great! I’ve had therapy in the past and have had some not so great experiences but today I felt comfortable sharing information especially with this being our first session. He was very welcoming and listened well. He gave thought provoking feedback and even challenged for our next session. He’s great and I’m looking forward to growing through the help of therapy.
I enjoyed my first therapy session with Jamil. He was very engaged, funny, and motivational. I recommend him to anyone who feels like they need a push to become the best version of themselves.
This review after first session with Jamil, he is really open-minded and considerate for circumstances I bring to therapy, feels amazing to begin work with a black male therapist who assures you that he can work with with you through your troubles, one week at a time. I've been seeking a relatability like this with a therapist for a long time and hopeful for the work I can do with Jamil
Jamil is a very authentic clinician who is dedicated to helping his clients achieve their goals; he meets them where they are at and is committed to partnering with them every step of the way.
Nice session. Thanks for your time.
