About Sex Therapy in Philadelphia
The Center for Growth Inc., also known as Sex Therapy in Philadelphia, is staffed by a group of licensed professional therapists (social workers, marriage and family therapists, and psychologists) with specialized training in sex therapy, play therapy, marriage counseling and family therapy.
We use established therapeutic and psychoeducational techniques to help you identify your goals and develop the skills you need to grow into your very best self. We help you understand your behaviors so you can choose the path best for you. We do not dictate the direction the therapy will take, or the goals you aim to reach – that is for you to decide. Once your goals are defined, however, our job is to support, nurture, challenge, and educate you so that you 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.
