Meet Dr. Valentine
Dr. Jessee Valentine is a double board-certified psychiatrist who began his psychiatry residency at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and completed it at Yale University, where he also completed a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry.
The practice specializes in trauma, OCD, and anxiety, with additional focus areas in depression and in life transitions and personal identity. It provides integrated psychotherapy and medication management for adults and adolescents 14 and older. Patients are seen in person in King of Prussia and in Society Hill, Philadelphia, and by telehealth in Pennsylvania, New York, and Massachusetts.
Whether this is your first time seeking care or you’ve been in treatment before, you’re welcome here, and you don’t need to have everything figured out to begin.
Learn more about Dr. ValentineHow I Work
More time. Deeper understanding. More personalized treatment.
Symptoms aren't random. They often point to something deeper that deserves understanding.
Root Cause Focus
Alleviating symptoms matters. So does understanding what produced it, because that is what determines whether or not it comes back.
Your Pace, Your Terms
Treatment plans built together, with you involved in every decision. Our work together is collaborative in nature, and your input is important.

Sessions combine medication management and therapy. Many of my patients also have their own therapist, and I work closely with that therapist, coordinating directly so care stays aligned. My role is to support that relationship, not replace it.
Whole-Person Approach
Your body, beliefs, history, relationships, and the meaning you make of them all shape how you feel. Treatment integrates mind, body, and spirit.
What the Practice Treats
Specializing in
Trauma
Complex PTSD, developmental and relational trauma, PTSD after a single event, and adjustment disorders. Many of the people I see were hurt or neglected by someone they depended on, and learned to stay safe by putting everyone else first. As adults they find it hard to say no, they often realize they are angry only after the moment has passed, and they are not sure who they are or what they want for themselves.

More about traumaOCD
Obsessive-compulsive disorder in all its forms, including obsessions about harm, contamination, unwanted sexual thoughts, religion and morality (scrupulosity), relationships, symmetry or things feeling “just right,” and the fear of being a bad person. Compulsions can be visible, like checking, washing, confessing, or asking for reassurance, or mental, like silently neutralizing a thought or reviewing it over and over until it feels resolved. Many people also avoid whatever sets the thought off. Treatment combines exposure and response prevention (ERP) with medication management.

More about OCDAnxiety
Generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety, and phobias, along with the physical toll anxiety takes: racing heart, tension, stomach problems, and trouble sleeping. Many people I see have lived with anxiety for years and have quietly built their lives around it, avoiding places and situations, turning down opportunities, over-preparing, and seeking reassurance that only helps for a few minutes. From the outside they look like they are doing fine. Treatment combines medication management with therapy that helps you approach what you have been avoiding and understand what the anxiety has been protecting you from.

More about anxietyAdditional Areas of Focus
Depression
Low mood, lost motivation, emptiness, and the heaviness that will not lift, including depression that has not improved with earlier treatment. This includes depression that shows up alongside anxiety, trauma, or major life changes.

More about depressionLife Transitions & Personal Identity
Major changes in relationships, career, education, health, family, or where you live, as well as the quieter ones: a career that no longer feels right, questions about meaning or spirituality, reaching midlife and reevaluating what you want, or realizing you have been living by expectations that were never your own. You do not need a diagnosis to do this work. You need a point in your life where the old way of operating has stopped fitting.

What Often Brings People Here
People come here with depression, anxiety, burnout, trouble concentrating, and mood swings. Some have been treated for years. For some, this is the first time they have talked to anyone about it. Sometimes that is the whole picture. Sometimes it sits on top of something deeper that no one has named yet. Working out which one you are dealing with is part of a thorough evaluation.
