About Us
SFThe Center for Growth, Inc., located in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is staffed by licensed professional Caucasian, African American and Chinese psychotherapists who specialize in the treatment of children, adolescents and adults who struggle with ADHD, Anger Management (
AMT), Anxiety (
A), Chronic Pain, Depression (
D), Eating Disorders (
ED), Gambling (
G), Grief (
GT), Pregnancy/ Postpartum Related Issues (
P), Sexual Function (SF) and Relationship Problems (
RP). We provide counseling and therapy to individuals, couples and families. We have therapists that specialize in play therapy (
PT), sex therapy and marriage counseling. We also conduct support groups, offer psycho-educational workshops, and serve as consultants in the greater Philadelphia area.
We utilize a broad range of established therapeutic and psycho-educational techniques to help our clients identify their goals and develop the skills they need to flourish. Our mission is to help clients better understand their behaviors so they can choose the best path for themselves. We do not dictate the direction the therapy will take nor the goals our clients aim to reach – that is for each client to decide. Once a client’s goals are defined, however, our job is to support, nurture, challenge and educate the client so that he or she can achieve those goals. Using the right combination of therapy techniques we have been able to help many people achieve greater joy, fulfillment and satisfaction in their lives. We believe that we can help you too.
Our Philosophy
We believe that each individual is unique and has the potential to achieve a fulfilling and rewarding life. There is no one best way of living; however, there are techniques and attitudes each of us can adopt to experience more pleasure and achieve an increased level of satisfaction. We define success not by how one completes a particular task, but rather by how one keeps going after a set-back. It is often only through failure that the real learning begins.
In the process of life mistakes are inevitable. We believe that people who are motivated can learn and grow from their mistakes. It is our belief that there is no right way to go through life – only your way.
Trained therapists at the Center for Growth, Inc., are available to work with clients at all stages of life on a wide range of issues to help them achieve greater fulfillment and derive more satisfaction from life.
