Reviews of The Center for Growth / Therapy in Philadelphia (Psychologist)

lauren goldstein

Great facility with an amazing staff who are both warm and compassionate.

Jones Drones

How dare they post someones personal experience on their Facebook, JUDGING THEM for smoking marijuana in a STATE where it's medically legalized, in a CITY where it's decriminalized. I hope whomever runs their Facebook page loses their job immediately!

Isaiah Martin

Highly recommend this place!

tina spence griffin

Jennifer Foust, a former colleague, is a highly skilled therapist. She is friendly and professional while working towards individual's goals at their pace. I would recommend Jennifer to any one in the Philadelphia area.

Called for information and spike to Emily, she told me about the services they offer and who i could see. She was really helpful and i got tons of info from her

jebran khan

This place was great. Alex is an amazing person and so caring. She listens to what you need to say and helps you out so much. Making the appointment with her was a breeze. Definitely recommend this place.

Joseph Ferrell

TCFD is great. Alex was very understanding about all I had to say and the times I was available. It was really easy to make an appointment and the location is easy to get to. I would highly recommend.

Sam Juniper

I recently visited their website for information on how to make an appointment, and I wound up reading article after article. The website is so informative, I felt that I was getting help just by reading what they had to offer! Anxiety and Depression have so many helpful articles, and the one I chose just happened to help tremendously! I feel that a change is already happening, and I couldn't be happier!

Sheridan Allen

They turned away someone seeking treatment because they use substances, then openly mocked that person on their social media page. I am infuriated and disgusted that a treatment center would act this way. I am contacting CARF and HIPPA. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Rafael Diaz

They shared a friend and patient's facebook status on their page to shame him after he was denied therapy for smoking weed. It sounds ridiculous, but it's true and they deleted their facebook page over it and, to my knowledge, haven't reached out to him to apologize. And of course, he's still denied therapy. I'm aghast at how grossly unprofessional this group is and would recommend against ever going here.

Louanne Caspar

Therapy can be a confusing and overwhelming place for a person or couple seeking help and useful information when going through a difficult time, like postpartum depression, parenting, or grief. Luckily, the Philadelphia region has The Center for Growth, founded by Alex Robboy and staffed by a skilled team of experienced therapists, to help navigate the right approach for individuals and couples alike. They offer a comprehensive set of services to meet every client's needs. I highly recommend their services.

Sarah Walker

a friend was denied therapy because of marijuana use, and after he posted a status about it, his private information was publicly shared without his permission by this pathetic excuse of a mental health institution (HIPAA violation). Their FB has since been deleted. Seek help elsewhere

Christie Evens

Wonderful therapist.

Nikki Kyriakopoulos

This practice shamed a patient on social media when confidentiality is KEY for these types of practices and services. Despicable.

Janis Benstock

I called at 9pm on a Sunday night and someone answered my call and scheduled me in for the following day. Amazing service and a highly skilled therapist. I highly recommend.

Alex Stolte

Publicly shamed a friend over social media. Unacceptable.

Jeffrey Stolarz

I found these articles very informative - kudos to the The Center for Growth and their very helpful.

Every one of the therapists here has a warm heart. Alex is a wonderful therapist. Their facility is homey and welcoming; everyone should come here. Their website is informative, and making an appointment is a piece of cake. I would recommend this place 10/10 times.

Rachel Yee

When one makes themselves vulnerable enough to talk about the most intimate parts of their relationship they need someone there to respect them, care for them, and gently help with wisdom and compassion. After all these matters are at the core of our humanity, which is why it is so easy to recommend Dr. Jennifer Foust for anyone finding themselves unable to express this most basic human need for connection. I have consulted with Dr Foust on cases, and I find her to be not only knowledgeable and passionate about her work but really committed to helping clients transcend these difficulties and find their way back to themselves and each other. She is truly a gift to the work and highly recommended. Rachel Yee, LMHC

This place is amazing! I love going there! The staff are amazing and everyone there is so friendly and kind. I've never felt this welcomed any place. Usually I get super anxious before going to therapy but luckily this place doesn't make me feel that way!

Savannah Rush

Tonya is amazing. I was apprehensive at first seeking help but she really just did everything. before it felt like my life was spinning out of control and now i feel like I have more control. I didn't think I could do this great!

Daniel Van Blarcom

I was referred to this website and i was pleasantly surprised. The articles are well written and very helpful.

extremely unprofessional, HIPPA VIOLATION CITY

Gingerchic99 .

I have OCD and really bad depression and anxiety. I’ve recently been through a traumatic experience and the therapists here were very helpful. The depression and anxiety group is where I really got better. Hearing that I wasn’t alone in my struggles really made me feel more at ease, and talking in the group helped my anxiety. Very professional and helpful. Would absolutely recommend them!

Michael R

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!! :)

Mark Carnes

Alex has been the best, the intake was fast and simple and talking with her is just like talking to a friend. Feels like it comes naturally.

William Vazquez Jr.

Extremely unprofessional. Violated hipaa laws by publicly sharing a private facebook post by a friend who they denied help to because he uses marijuana.

Lindsay Bedford

I highly recommend The Center for Growth/Therapy's Samantha Eisenberg. I've 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.

It is completely unprofessional and despicable to share private Facebook posts from people who were denied service simply because they use marijuana. I'm hoping you get hit with a HIPPA violation, and your offices shut down.

Tiff Kent

No words to express just how unprofessional this establishment is.

Shane Newman

I Have Always Known Therapist Samantha Eisenberg as Someone Who Eminates Care, Compassion, Understanding, Open Mindededness, and Love of Life. These Amazing Qualities Translate Perfectly Into A Divine Healing Experience with Someone Who Genuinely Cares to Make a Positive Impact on Balancing The Body, Mind, and Spirit for Every Client She Comes In Contact With. Highly Recommended!!! A++++

Mark Walsh

THey just deleted their Facebook page because they shared a post from a client that had been turned away for smoking marajuana. They publicly shared information about a CLIENT OF THEIRS ON FACEBOOK PAGE. They’ll also turn you away from therapy for smoking marajuana. Do either lie to them or avoid at all costs.

Tristen Sontay

Great experience! Made me feel comfortable above all. Staff is great. Emily is very helpful.

Jacquelyn Lithgow

Definitely recommend the site for educative articles. They provide different categories to search for and is user-friendly. I highly recommend people to check it out!

Greg Lanza

I haven't 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; that's a great strength to have. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Sheila dinaburg-azoff

As a professional I appreciate the brief, informative articles offered on a wide variety of concerns.

Hannah Morris

A friend of mine was denied affordable help because of their use of marijuana and publicly mocked by this establishment on social media. This is a HIPAA violation and EXTREMELY unprofessional. Do not recommend.

Sara Brown

Tonya McDaniel is hands down one of the best presenters I've 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 can't go wrong with Tonya!

Dan M.

I highly recommend this facility. The staff is warm and supportive. The intake process is quick and knowledgeable.

Jackie Schwartz

I found the articles on eating disorders to be very informative and helpful. I also appreciated all the support groups offered.

Marjorie Berman

I highly recommend Samantha Eisenberg--as her teacher for many years, I have found her to be deeply caring and committed, a creative thinker, empathic, and generous of heart.

Lin Wein

A past colleague of mine has transferred to this organization, so I find myself often reading articles written on their website. I have found many topics very helpful in my own work as a school counselor, especially about progressive muscle relaxation. I plan to utilize this method in my own practice.

AJ Hoime

I recently went to the center for growth's 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. It's 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.

Sylvie Beauvais

As a licensed social worker seeking supervision to become a licensed clinical social worker, I've had the privilege and pleasure of working with Alex Caroline Robboy. She always encourages me, illuminates the question at hand, deepens the discussion, and supports my goals. She is a pleasure to work with. I trust her clinical judgment implicitly--I'm sure she hires warm, charismatic staff members to help all the center's clients.

Karen Ann

This place is the best. The staff is amazing and they really know how to make you feel welcome.

Athena Milligan

Alex and Center for Growth are the best! Super friendly, helpful staff and a clean and professional environment. I've been many times for sex therapy and it's been so helpful!

Steve Ripperger

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.

Kevin Yang

Great staff and services, I plan on going back as I plan for the future. Alex had a great attitude and was very patient.

J Boyd-Lee

In working with Tonya McDaniel, her keen sense of understanding personalities allowed her to connect with my core being. Additionally, Tonya's refreshing approach was inspiring and made me want to improve and build upon areas of myself where uncertainty once dominated. Forever grateful.

Richard Blackmore

Tried to make an example of my friend who was denied treatment on Facebook. HIPPA violation, very unprofessional.

Makenna Ervin

The phone sessions are awesome. Emily was great and Alex was even better. She was really easy to talk to and I couldn’t ask for a better experience

Yomaira Willis

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.

Annie Swoyer

I called this location after doing a broad Google search (didn't realize it was 45 minutes away from my home.) 30 seconds into my conversation, the woman explained that the commute with a 4- year- old would probably be too much. This didn't prevent her from speaking to me for the next 15 minutes. She took the time to explain the different types of therapy that are appropriate with a young child, what to expect, ect. She offered to take my name and phone number down and get back to me with suggestions of where I could go closer to my house. If she was this helpful to me (knowing that I wasn't going to come there as a client) I can only image the kind of service my child would get if we went there! I was nervous to call around with general questions but she made me feel right at ease. THANK YOU! PS. I think her name is :“Alex” Caroline Robboy, CAS, MSW, ACSW, LCSW- I asked her if she was a counselor/ therapist and she said she was the founder. So I looked it up on the website and I am pretty sure Alex is who I spoke with!

Joshua Richardson

The phone sessions are really helpful since I live so far away. They do a good job at creating a safe and welcoming environment for me.

Mackenzie Brie

Alex runs a great business! She treats her clients and staff with a smile on her face and is always very polite! Both of her offices are always very clean and presentable, and the service I am paying for always leaves me feeling light and like everything is going to be okay! 5 stars for The Center for Growth!

MONICA GOLD

I cannot recommend this center enough! Alex Robboy really personally helped me go through one of the hardest times of my life. I'm super grateful for her insight that I know could benefit someone else as well.

Shannon Tanguay

Dr. Jennifer Foust is one of the most compassionate and competent therapist I have ever met. She creates a warm and non-judgmental environment while genuinely caring for her clients.

Alex Caroline Robboy is friendly, helpful and very professional. I would highly recommend her as an extremely knowledgable therapist.

Tyler King

Great staff, good vibes. I like this place, I can be open and confident and that is something I've been looking for for quite a while.

Teresa Nguyen

Tonya McDaniel was my supervisor for over 3 years and my experiences with her continue to help me grow both professionally and personally. Her insight allowed me to really look inside myself and now I'm a better and more confident person because of it. She is kind, attentive and inspires hope. She is a true professional.

Alexis Nocito

Everyone is very helpful and friendly! I always have a great experience. I would highly recommend for first-timers!

Alan Jones

The Center for Growth is a professional therapy organization that I would highly recommend for anyone and everyone. Alex is very accommodating the the information on their website is awesome. I feel like I'm getting all the information without being surprised and that's something worth noticing.

Nathaniel Berumen

Friendly environment and staff. 10/10 would recomend.

Kimberly Grace

Sharing a person seeking mental health treatment’s personal post on their public page and chastising them for smoking weed is disgusting and most likely a HIPAA violation.

Ronni Kessler

Tonya McDaniel is former co-worker of mine and she is fantastic. She is compassionate, intelligent, and extremely insightful. Her guidance and encouragement have served me very well both personally and professionally. I cannot recommend her enough!

David Rios

Highly recommend this site for their informative articles on a variety of topics. Definitely work checking out.

Roselin Diaz

My husband and I read about many great things for couples on their website. There is tons of useful information and it's really easy to navigate. I highly recommend the articles and books because they helped so much!

Lori Moore

Wow, the website is very informative and the self-help tips are great.

Katherine Sosa

I highly recommend this website for useful tips for either employment, family therapy and/or sexual consulting. The articles provide new insight on various topics.

Jennifer Foust

I highly recommend The Center for Growth as the place to go in Philadelphia for psychotherapy. All of the therapists are knowledgeable, experienced in the therapy field and committed to helping you work to achieve your goals. They also have therapists that specialize in all areas of sexuality. You are very likely to find a therapist here that can help you with any issue that is troubling you.

Emily Ferrell

I enjoy walking into the building every time I go. The staff is warm and friendly, the article I have read on their website are insightful, and I never feel like I don't belong. I highly recommend The Center for Growth over any other place.

Mackenzie Gillen

The therapists at the Center for Growth seem wonderful. I just had a very short conversation over the phone trying to get answers to a few questions that I had, and they were very kind and responsive!

Sierra Hygrant

My classmate works here and she was able to tell me everything that I needed to know about the company. She was very informative and really helped me to understand what I needed to know .

Peter Gearhart

Excellent practice. Skilled therapists. Educational website.

Abira Altvater

The site has a number of interesting educational articles on a range of topics - everything from anxiety and depression to eating disorders and grief and mourning. The sites interface is also very user friendly. There's also a section on recommended books for certain topics. I highly recommend checking out the site, it was very helpful to me since I wanted to read up on certain topics.

Melanie Dinaburg

I am currently a post-master's 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 can't 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!

Eric Bessette

They were extremely unprofessional and posted the private information of a potential client on their Facebook. They the. Completely deleted their Facebook account as to get rid of any bad reviews detailing their lack of professionalism. Please avoid this location.

Abigail Charlottie

Alex runs a fantastic business, she makes an environment that I never want to forget. The therapy I'm in has helped me tremendously, and I would never go anywhere else. They make you want to stay loyal and reach your goals!

Logan Howe

Helped me greatly highly recommend

Bunny Clark

Dr. Jennifer Foust is an amazing sex & couples therapist. Her style is collaborative and it gives you the feeling that she is walking with you side by side and helping you achieve your goals. It is so easy to talk to her about difficult feelings and her warmth makes it safe to open up about personal issues.

Olivia Patell

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. Couple's 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!

Katrina Culley

All of the therapists here are professional and highly knowledgeable. I appreciate that each therapist has different strengths, and they try to match you appropriately. They are eager to give back to the community they work in. I would, without hesitation, recommend this practice for families, children, and couples.

Sharing a person seeking mental health treatment’s personal post on their public page and chastising them for smoking weed is disgusting and most likely a HIPAA violation.

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.

It's 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 I'm paying for. The stuff on their website about support groups and the book recommendations have already really helped. And it's all laid out in a clean format so everything is easy to find. And everyone who works there is nice! It's like I could be best friends with some of them. I would recommend The Center for Growth hands down to anyone who asked.

Do not recommend at all. Staff is not friendly and didn't help at all. Glad they are shutting down.
