Individual Psychotherapy, Couples Therapy, Family Therapy, & Art Therapy, Group Therapy:
When you enter the lobby of "The Philadelphian" a high rise, the doorman will direct you to Suite 1A2. When you reach the call box, just call "The Center for Growth / Therapy in Philadelphia" and one of our therapists will buzz you in through two glass doors. Keep walking straight back down a long hallway. You will see our front door on the left. Our door will say "The Center for Growth / Therapy in Philadelphia" Please use the top handle to let yourself in. If you are a new client, please be sure to have filled out all the paperwork online. The paperwork should have been sent to you before your arrival to The Art Museum / Fairmount Therapy Office. Your therapist will not be able to properly greet you until your scheduled appointment time. Just have a seat and they will be out shortly to properly greet you. If your therapist does not come out exactly on time, it means they might be running 5 minutes late. You can call 215 - 922 - 56683 x 500 and be connected to their cell phone.
Unfortunately, the Art Museum / Fairmount Therapy Office is not wheel chair accessible. With that being said, we are able to offer your virtual counseling services to you in the privacy of your own home.
There are many metered parking spots in front of our building
There are several public transportation stops within walking distance. The Center for Growth / Therapy in Philadelphia is accessible via the SEPTA #7, #32, #33, #38, and #48 bus routes.
The major benefit of seeking inperson therapy at The Art Museum / Fairmount Therapy office location is the location. The Art Museum / Fairmount Therapy office is located in a beautiful area of Center City. Before or after the Counseling or Therapy appointment you can go biking, rollerblading or running along Schuylkill River trails. You can go to the Art Museum, Eastern State Penitentiary, Barnes, Rodin Museum or Mutter Museum. You can go to a cafe or restaurant. You can go grocery shopping at Whole Foods or many other activities. Having some extra dedicated time to yourself to process what you are about to discuss / or just discussed can help you integrate new ideas. Thoughtful reflection is key. Leaving your own house can be an important step. The travel time is just as important as the actual hour in therapy. Of course, for really busy people, having a weekly dedicated hour to yourself or time with your partner can give you / each of you the space and time to reflect on your week and be more intentional about your decisions. Therapy helps us slow down and make more intentional decisions about how we want to be in the moment, and what direction we want to go in the future.
