Philadelphia Center for Emotionally Focussed Therapy Leader:

Jill Knerr, LCSW, LMFT

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.  I have been in private practice for 30 years!  

Private practice was a good fit for me as I was raising our  2 sons early in my career. As my children got older and I had more time to work in the field, I realized that much had changed. To retool  my skills I went to the Council for Relationships and received a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy.

While at the Council, I was introduced to Emotionally  Focused Therapy.  In 2015, I began my EFT training, and it has profoundly changed the impact I have with my couples. 

A few years after I began practicing Emotionally Focused Therapy I was asked to be a member of the Philadelphia Center For EFT ‘s Board of Directors. I am currently the president of PCEFT and am grateful for the opportunity to help other clinicians to grow in their EFT skills. 

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling with my husband, spending time with our adult sons, volunteering at church and enjoying the great outdoors.

If you are a therapist hoping to learn more about cutting edge therapy, or a potential client looking for highly effective therapy for yourself, your relationship, or your family, you’ve come to the right place!
