Counseling Practice – Growth Therapy Center
Growth Therapy Center is a counseling practice located in the Twin Hickory area of Glen Allen, Virginia, at 5230-A Hickory Park Drive. The practice is operated by Anita Stoudmire, a Licensed Professional Counselor who also works professionally as a coach, writer, and public speaker.
The center focuses primarily on couples and relationship counseling. Service areas include couples counseling, blended family dynamics, codependency, coping skills, communication issues, divorce, infidelity, and marital and premarital counseling. Multiple therapeutic approaches are employed, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family/Marital Therapy, the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Imago therapy, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Each modality is applied based on the presenting needs of the individual client or couple, rather than a single fixed model for all cases.
Appointments are available in both in-person and telehealth formats. A client portal is provided for scheduling, communications, and online payments. Upon request, the practice supplies a Good Faith Estimate of anticipated service costs as required under applicable transparency guidelines.
Insurance plans accepted at Growth Therapy Center include Aetna, United Healthcare, Anthem, Cigna, Optum, and Oscar. Clients paying out of pocket can expect session fees ranging from $99 to $125 per session. Growth Therapy Center participates in the Open Path Collective, offering reduced rates of $60 to $80 per session for clients who qualify through that program and are seeking more affordable access to counseling services.
The practice’s stated focus is on equipping clients with practical skills for relationship improvement and personal growth, operating within established ethical guidelines and privacy protections. The incorporation of the Gottman Method and Imago therapy alongside CBT and ACT reflects a multimodal approach to couples work, drawing on relational frameworks as well as cognitive and mindfulness-based strategies. Stoudmire’s background as a licensed counselor and public speaker is reflected in the practice’s emphasis on skill-building alongside traditional therapeutic work. The availability of reduced rates through Open Path Collective allows the practice to serve clients who might not otherwise afford private-pay therapy in the Glen Allen area. Contact: 804.399.5323.
