Danese Saunders's Company Details
Since 1955, Joseph J. Peters Institute (JJPI) has been helping individuals and families heal by providing expert clinical care. We serve two different populations at separate locations in Center City Philadelphia--individuals who have experienced trauma and individuals who have exhibited problem sexual behaviors or relational/interpersonal violence. JJPI also works closely with partner organizations to offer treatment services in non-traditional settings, such as schools and primary care health centers.We are experienced in the prevention and treatment of sexual and interpersonal violence, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other behavioral health problems related to trauma exposure. We remain one of the few agencies in the country that offers a comprehensive approach to trauma by addressing the entire cycle of abuse. JJPI offers a number of evidence-based treatments, including Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), and Trauma Affect Regulation: Guide for Education and Therapy (TARGET).Recognizing that true healing comes when individuals find hope, our staff works to build that hope through the development of positive, honest, and respectful therapeutic relationships.
