Jeremy Frank, PhD

I met Dr. Frank way back in the day when he was the Director of a student program at Temple University called Campus Alcohol and Substance Awareness (CASA). CASA was a fun organization to be a part of mainly due to Dr. F’s enthusiasm, passion and new ideas on making students aware of substance abuse. I was a peer educator and Dr. F trained us to do workshops, intervention and reach out to students at TU on the issues of drug and alcohol use. He was one of the most accessible and easy going professors that I knew. I often found myself talking to Dr. F about things I was going through because he was so easy to talk to. Respectively, I could tell he wasn’t a stranger to the crazy college lifestyle (partying, relationship woes, family struggles, work balance, etc) I was living and he never made me feel «less than» or like he didn’t get it. Dr. F always just got it.
I think Dr. F would be a great therapist for anyone wanting to explore the role addiction serves in his or her world. If you’re ready to make a change, Dr. Frank is who I would suggest.

As a therapist myself at Seabrook House, a well known local drug and alcohol rehab in New Jersey, I have referred lots of people often to outpatient therapy for addiction treatment and I think Dr. Jeremy Frank has the perfect practice for individuals leaving inpatient treatment and returning to their people places and things that are the common relapse triggers of addiction. Dr. Frank also has the ideal practice for individuals seeking to avoid inpatient treatment who are motivated to seek abstinence or determine if they can control or manage their drug use socially. I have referred both types of clients and continue to hear about their successes. Dr Frank asks clients to call him «Jeremy» which attests to his relaxed and non pretentious style. He is open about being in recovery himself which I find to be an approachable trait but at the same time he has never assumed to know more about people just because he has a PhD or because he is sober himself. I think he really does know a tremendous amount about addiction and doesn’t address it from only one angle like the medical, the 12-​step the cognitive behavioral etc. which is too often what you find other addiction professionals doing; believing that they know the one way to solve someone’s problems. If I were seeking help for a family member or loved one I would refer to him without reservation.

Jeremy Frank brings years of experience in addiction recovery to the table. He is very approachable and is on top of my list for referrals.

I have worked with Dr. Frank for about 3 years. As Coordinator for Student Conduct at Temple University and former addictions counselor, I often worked with students who were struggling with substance abuse, dependence, and addiction. Dr. Frank served as my primary referral for these students, and often students would let me know how much they enjoyed working with Dr. Frank. His style is one that allows clients to truly feel comfortable and open with him. Additionally, he shows great passion for his work and is a pleasure to work with.

Dr. Frank’s unique training as a psychologist and certified addictions counselor combined with his experience of coordinating drug and alcohol programming for Temple University has established him an outstanding expert in the Philadelphia region as a clinician and educator in the addictions field.
His generosity with his time and knowledge makes him a pleasure to work with as a colleague. His warmth, flexibility, sense of humor, and ability to engage his clients where they are in their process of change make him an exceptional therapist.
