Professional Bio
Psych Summary, 2025/2026
Allen (Zak) Zaklad, PhD
I am a seasoned psychotherapist, licensed in PA since 1978. I have worked with a wide variety of clients, most recently with frail elders — 6 years with InnovAge PA Life, a PACE program designed to help elders age independently. Before that, for 15 years I worked with people living with AIDS.
My therapeutic style is Rogerian, to meet the client where they are, to listen empathically, and to help them find ways to enhance their lives, be it grief work, deep psychotherapy, or deep breathing to ease anxiety. Body movement is important, especially for seniors.
I am also headmaster of a Tai Chi school in Philadelphia (Mt Airy Tai Chi). I am a proponent of mind-body-spirit integration and I bring Tai Chi to my therapy clients, to enhance balance, flexibility, and peace of mind.
I am a Medicare-certified provider (accept only original Medicare) and work telehealth/audio only. I do not see clients face-to-face.
