The Center for Growth / Therapy in Philadelphia

Anupama is one of the most thoughtful people I know. She is a keen listener who absorbs what she hears with care and calm. Her ability to stay in the present, listen intently and react with curiosity is unique. I have leaned on Anupama’s unbiased ear, continuous kindness and comforting counsel throughout my life. To know that she is offering these services to others in need truly moves me.

Dorothea Appling goes the "extra mile" to ensure everyone feels heard and supported, offering thoughtful guidance rooted in experience and compassion. She never gives up on people, always finding a way to get the job done, and consistently encourages others to do their best. Her dedication and caring nature make a meaningful impact.

Laura Weichert has been an invaluable support to me through multiple stages of my life. Her kind approach is uplifting, and she listens with full presence and genuine curiosity. She has a remarkable ability to ask questions that bring clarity and reveal the core of any situation I present to her. I am truly grateful for her perspective and the way she has helped me better understand myself.

I’m in the same Marriage and Family Therapy graduate program at Northwestern as Laura Weichert and wanted to share a professional perspective. She is insightful, well-spoken, and deeply attuned, with a strong ability to analyze cases and communicate in a way that feels clear and relatable. She’s incredibly easy to talk to and brings both intelligence and warmth into her work. She brings a very thoughtful, intentional approach to clinical work.

Laura Weichert is a thoughtful, attentive listener who creates a calm and grounded space. I felt understood, supported, and able to speak openly. I trust her presence and perspective.
