MORE TALK. FEWER PILLS.

At the Philadelphia Consultation Center we are still doing it the traditional way – private, long-term talking therapy at your own pace, with the same therapist, at times convenient to your schedule. For over 25 years, we’ve been practicing the original alternative therapy – the talking cure. Our Modern Analytic approach is a long-term investment that will help you achieve success in love, work and play.

PCC’s newly-renovated townhouse is located in the heart of Center City Philadelphia within walking distance of beautiful Rittenhouse Square, Walnut and Chestnut Street shopping, the Avenue of the Arts, the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts and world-renowned restaurants.

PROBLEMS AND POSSIBILITIES

 

At PCC we are sensitive to the complexities of life’s situations. We provide a safe environment where you may express your feelings and express difficult issues at your own pace. Whether you are seeking guidance with particular issues, or approaching counseling as a primary means to self-awareness and personal growth, PCC offers you the flexibility to approach therapy in as brief or extended a period of time as you desire. Our approach to treatment is non-intrusive and all client contact is strictly confidential.

OUR UNIQUE APPROACH

We believe that solving life’s problems is best approached by unhurried, in-depth discussion. Our common-sense and comfortable approach is like talking to a good friend, where you can speak freely without being judged or criticized. Our therapists are trained and experienced in helping you resolve current dilemmas and strengthen your ability to handle future difficulties and decisions. We find that this approach also has the effect of enriching and deepening self-knowledge and understanding.

We do not invite people in to become part of studies, tests, experimental programs or drug regimens. Many people come to us because they are seeking an approach that allows them to talk as fully and completely as they wish. We neither encourage nor discourage medications and self help groups. We believe there are many therapeutic activities and experiences in life which our approach enhances and complements. We believe that people progress in life, relationships and work and become stronger when they have the opportunity to talk openly, outside the confines of what is considered correct, appropriate or “therapeutic”.

We are located in the heart of Center City, Philadelphia, and offer flexible day, evening and weekend appointments. We accept a variety of  insurances, as well as out-of-pocket payment on a sliding fee scale.
