As a former colleague and someone who attended a meditation group he led, I was continuously impressed with how Jonah (Taylor) approaches every interaction with thoughtfulness, compassion and a seemingly endless amount of wisdom. He has a strong yet gentle presence and an innate ability to create safe spaces for growth and exploration. His warmth, attentiveness and authenticity have made him an incredible support to his community, and anyone would be extremely fortunate to have him as a therapist.

I had the opportunity to work with Jonah Taylor when he interned at my agency and was incredibly impressed with his work! Through warmth, empathy, and a good sense of humor, Jonah was able to connect with many clients and families. His insight and calming presence towards clients, relationships, and the therapeutic process are just a few items that make Jonah a wonderful therapist.

Olivia Miller will bring solid skills and integrity to the Center for Growth. She is honest, grounded, committed and knowledgeable in her field. Olivia is a person that can be counted upon for listening, and working on her self to the improvement of her clients. She is non-judgemental and has a spiritual drive as well.

Melanie Greenberg is an outstanding clinician with unbelievable instinct and outstanding care for her clients.

Amanda has been instrumental in helping me process the co-dependency issues in my marriage. In fact, I am now able to broaden my lens and recognize my role as a co-dependent in my relationships with family, friends and colleagues. The work does not stop there though. Through her gentle presence, I am relating better to myself. It was a U-turn inwards.

I recently went to the center for growths website to schedule an appointment for grief counseling.When I went on the website, I saw they had self-help articles, so I decided to indulge myself. I found exactly what I was looking for and decided to schedule an appointment as well as going beyond and looking at the other articles they have. There is a ton of information different people can help themselves with. Its amazing!I scheduled the appointment and when I got there I was still happy about who I had chosen to do business with. My money is definitely going where the mouth is.I read a ton of reviews about how these people are so great and that the intake process is smooth and simple, I even read a few things about some of the therapists and how amazing they are too. I really did not expect it ALL to be true. Except it is, every single good thing said about this practice is true. The intake is extremely fast, the therapists are extremely well trained and know what they are doing, the wait for an appointment is painless. Everything about the center for growth is exactly what I was looking for to get help. I was not rushed, and the process was smooth and simple. It went at my pace, and I did not feel uncomfortable. They were extremely hospitable and accepting.

Its hard sometimes to find a therapist to best match your needs, but here I feel I am going to get the best out of what Im paying for. The stuff on their website about support groups and the book recommendations have already really helped. And its all laid out in a clean format so everything is easy to find. And everyone who works there is nice! Its like I could be best friends with some of them. I would recommend The Center for Growth hands down to anyone who asked.

Never before have I had a better experience.I had the pleasure of speaking on the phone with some people first for some basic information, and then I was given a chance to make an appointment. My husband and I decided to go with Jamie, and she is wonderful! Compassionate, lenient, knowledgeable and the list goes on and on. Couples counseling with Jamie will continue as long as we can manage it!Not to mention the added benefits of the ease of making our appointments, and how easy the paperwork is to fill out. I am in love with this business!

Although I have not been to the Center for Growth, I have had extensive experience with one of the therapists, Tonya McDaniel. She is a brilliant, compassionate and attentive professional who excels at her job. I would know because I had the pleasure of being one of her employees for 3.5 years. I watched her care for and motivate her team and her clients everyday. Anyone would be lucky to have her on their side. I am better for knowing her, being mentored by her and watching her support others on their life journey.

This place is absolutely fantastic. It is such a welcoming environment and they were quick to assist me. The therapists here are truly interested in their patients and put an immense amount of effort into the work they do. I found this place a little over a year ago and it has been my place to go ever since. I suffer from anxiety and they have helped me find ways to cope and liver a happier life.

I havent had experience at the Center itself, but I had the privilege of studying with Jennifer Foust as we both pursued advanced degrees in Counseling together and have followed her career since. While she has always been knowledgeable, Jennifer was and remains fiercely committed to honing and improving her craft to best serve her clients. More than that, however, she has tremendous instincts and is able to relay them in ways that are both compassionate and easily understood and absorbed. Her best attribute, however, is her ability to connect with someone and make them feel comfortable almost immediately; thats a great strength to have. I couldnt recommend her more highly.

Tonya McDaniel is hands down one of the best presenters Ive seen. She obviously knows what she is talking about and has such a fun style that you are engaged the entire time. I have referred a lot of twin parents to her because she really understands how multiples can impact your marriage including your sex life. You cant go wrong with Tonya!

Alex Caroline Robboy is a world-class therapist. She has advanced expertise in sex therapy & couples counseling, among several other specialties. Her style is engaging, warm & authentic. If I did not have family ties in California, I would have loved to be a part of Center for Growth and learn from one of the best in the field of counseling & therapy. The city of Philadelphia is fortunate to have her!!!

I highly recommend The Center for Growth/Therapys Samantha Eisenberg. Ive known Samantha for many years, and I truly believe one of her greatest strengths is her amazing ability to empathize. She is an incredibly compassionate person, as well as very attentive to the needs and emotions of others. I believe she is an excellent choice for a therapist for anyone.

I am currently a post-masters fellow at The Center for Growth. I am so grateful to be a part of an organization that puts the needs of their clients and staff first. I was welcomed with open arms from the supportive fellow interns, colleagues, and especially my supervisors, who take time out of their busy schedules on a regular basis to attend to the needs of others. There have been quite a few instances where I have seen my superiors reach out to the needs of my clients to make sure they are given the best care possible, a courtesy I know they give to all of our clients here. I cant thank them enough for their kindness, and the constant reminder of why I came into this field, which was to help others. Highly recommending my amazing colleagues and this organization would be an understatement!

My partner and I have been seeing Dr. Jennifer Foust for over two years now, during which she has demonstrated to be an incredible counselor and consummate professional. We value the caring and compassionate safe space she creates for us to share our feelings, without the fear of being judged or criticized. With her help, we have maintained a mutually respectful, loving and happy relationship. We strongly recommend Dr. Foust to anyone seeking help or advice with their life issues. Wishing health and happiness to all!! :)

Do you like your personal information being blasted on a business’ Facebook page? Do you like hippa violations?How about public shaming?If you like those things, boy have you found the right therapist! If they can’t handle something as simple as social media, you certainly cannot trust them to handle sensitive data let alone your mental health. Seek help elsewhere immediately.

I made an appointment because I saw the good reviews. Was told to be there 15 minutes prior to fill out paperwork. I was even texted a link to confirm appointment as well as directions and instructions. Get there, ring the bell and had a seat in the waiting area as instructed. Waited for a little over 30 minutes without so much as a greeting from anyone or given any paperwork to fill out. Twenty minutes after my appointment was supposed to start, I left since there was no receptionist or anyone to get any type of information from. Very unprofessional and I would not recommend this place.
