Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

Alex Caroline Robboy is the founder of The Center for Growth, Sex Therapy in Philadelphia. We are a group of sex positive therapists and psychiatrists who offer individual, couples, family therapy and medication management. We work clients struggling with anger, anxiety, compulsions, depression, grief, personality disorders, trauma, relationship issues, sexual function / dysfunction and alternative lifestyles.

We believe that each individual is unique and has the potential to achieve a fulfilling and rewarding life. There is no one best way of living; however, there are techniques and attitudes each of us can adopt to experience more pleasure and achieve an increased level of satisfaction. We define success not by how one completes a particular task, but rather by how one keeps going after a set-back. It is often only through failure that the real learning begins.

In the process of life mistakes are inevitable. We believe that people who are motivated can learn and grow from their mistakes. It is our belief that there is no right way to go through life – only your way.

Trained therapists at the Center for Growth, Inc., are available to work with clients at all stages of life on a wide range of issues to help them achieve greater fulfillment and derive more satisfaction from life.

I’m Abigail Weissman, Psy.D. (pronouns: she, her, hers), a Jewish, queer, and trans - identified clinical psychologist (PSY 27497) providing individual therapy virtually and in the Banker’s Hill and Rancho Bernardo communities of San Diego, California. You can also call me an empowering supporter and a self-love affirmer.

What I Do

I help teens and adults, including college students, of all genders (or no genders) who want to be their full queer, transgender, ADHD, religious, liberal, activist, polyamorous, and/or kink selves but hold themselves back because they are scared they will be unloved, unemployed, and rejected by their loved ones and communities.

I encourage clients to share their deepest wishes so that they can learn to be happy being themselves. I know from my own path to wellness and years of working with clients that it is possible to survive the fear of others’ judgment, hurt, and disappointment to live your true self.

Contact Me Today

I believe that loving yourself will change the world for the better!

That’s why I hope you contact me today for your free 15 minute screening. I can be reached at [email protected] or at 619-403-5578.

I see ages 14+, but specialize in relationships.

For years I dreamed of creating an organization that would help combat the negative messages that LGBTQ people receive about themselves. My center is designed to help us heal from those influences. For over 15 years I’ve devoted my career as a therapist to working primarily with LGBTQ people. My work as a couples counselor is influenced by Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT). I have completed an externship with Sue Johnson, the founder of EFT, and I continue to do advanced training with the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy. It is one of the most researched forms of couples counseling and has been proven to be one of the most effective. While I work with all kinds of people, the focus of my work, blogs and videos, and charitable giving is the LGBTQ community. Whether you’re struggling with self-worth, anxiety, depression, isolation, or intimacy issues, we’re here to help you live the life you want.

Insurance + Cost: Out of network. Ask your provider, “what is your reimbursement rate for out of network procedure code 90834?” If you are looking for couples counseling ask them, “what is your reimbursement rate for out of network procedure code 90847?”

I am happy to provide you with receipts that include all the detailed codes required by insurers. Psychotherapy is also typically covered by pre-tax Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) or Health Spending Accounts (HSAs).

I’m passionate about working with individuals and couples in the polyamorous/open-relationship community, and I’m a member of this community myself. My style has a strong mindfulness and somatic basis, and I often guide clients through meditations at the beginning of sessions. If you’re a couple, you can expect to experience exercises using eye contact and direct communication of in-the-moment experience to help you build intimacy. I utilize and teach Nonviolent Communication to help couples empathize with each other and communicate their own feelings more effectively. During this COVID-19 pandemic, I’m only doing video calls with clients, but I plan to see people in real life in my office when it is safe to do so. LGBTQ+ Friendly. Free Intro Phone Calls Offered.

As a psychologist, couples counselor and sex therapist, my specialty over the past 25+ years has been relationships. I’ve worked with many poly couples, thruples and moresomes and am comfortable doing so. Some of what we’ve worked with are: communication issues, dealing with conflict, negotiating boundaries, dealing with boundary violations, opening the relationship, closing the relationship, redefining the relationship, adding kink into the relationship, dealing with sexual issues and dealing with the general life issues that impact every type of relationship. While based in Los Angeles, I am also experienced in teleconferencing and Internet/Skype, especially for those “long-distance” relationship aspects.

I offer individual, partners/couples (including polyamorous partners), and family counseling, in addition to letter of support services for gender transition, for anyone age 13+. My primary focus areas are exploring & supporting identity development (racial identities, LGBTQ+ identities, etc), developing healthy relationships, improving communication, processing trauma, understanding family dynamics, & resolving conflicts. I am open to working with anyone who thinks they would be a good fit, but in general, I tend to be process-oriented, often focusing on how different dynamics impact clients’ experiences.

I most value building trusting relationships with my clients and strive to offer a nonjudgmental listening space. I believe that clients have the right, and the ability, to make the best decisions for themselves.

I work with individuals & couples (& the occasional triad). My specialty is brief, focused, problem-solving counseling. I have extensive experience working with non-monogamous relationships and alternative lifestyles & sexualities. Please check out my web site for more detailed info about me & my work, and call or email if you have any questions. - Does phone consultation

I help people who are in–or who are interested in–non-monogamous relationship structures form more satisfying relationships with the people they care about. As fulfilling as it can be to actively build the types of relationships you want in your life rather than using a cookie-cutter approach to dating or marriage, it can also be stressful–especially at the beginning–and full of seemingly contradictory experiences. It can feel terrifying–but also exhilarating–to move away from the scripts of our culture, our families of origin, our faith communities, and even our legal system, that ’true’ love can only exist between two people. Non-monogamy can create a sort of emotional whiplash as one day we feel that all of the best parts of ourselves are affirmed in a new relationship that really clicks, only to be swept away in an overwhelming wave of jealousy and fear when a partner has that same experience with someone else and suddenly alarm bells are going off that we’re about to lose everything and our partners don’t care for us anymore. Or, maybe, this wasn’t your idea. Maybe you’re feeling powerless as your partner unilaterally decided that they wanted an open relationship and is charging ahead with the whole thing, accusing you of not affirming their new-found polyamorous identity when you express your concern, hesitation, or you ask for time to process. Or, maybe you’ve recognized your own innate capacity to love more than one person… but you still find yourself feeling frustrated, sad, and more alone than you want to be. If any of this sounds like what you’re experiencing, I want to help.

Serving clients age 18+

Private pay only but can submit superbill if client wishes to seek reimbursement

I work with people ages 15 and older on a myriad of topics. I am especially interested in working with interracial relationships, first/second generation immigrants, queer folx, BIPOCs, men, and sex workers. Areas of specialities include mindfulness, BDSM, gender, ethical non-monogamy, social justice, anxiety, depression, sex therapy, neurodiversity, and trauma.

I provide therapy that is grounded in social justice, queer and feminist theories, and cultural humility. My approach to therapy uses a blend of narrative, attachment-based, and body-focused techniques. In working with intimate relationships, I additionally draw from Emotion Focused and Gottman Method therapies. To put it simply, this means I place you at the center of your own story. I incorporate mind-body connection, emotional experiences, and relationships of all kinds into the therapy space. I truly believe that you deserve to live your best life, and I am here to offer whatever help I may toward that end. I completed my M.S. in marriage and family therapy with a focus on sex therapy at the University of Wisconsin-Stout.

As a child of immigrant parents, I have lived my life in multiple cultures, giving me a unique perspective to the ways in which race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic class may impact someone’s experiences. Due to my own upbringing and education, I work to include these same aspects of life into the therapy room. I don’t presume to know exactly what my clients have been through, but I do know what it is like to navigate the world in a body that has judgments thrust upon it. I want to use that knowledge to validate my clients’ identities and offer support or, possibly, new understandings of the ways these experiences influence the rest of their lives. Though social justice and anti-racism work inform much of my practice, my values rest on centering and working with all forms of marginalization (race, gender, sexuality, class, ability, etc.).

I believe that a wellness model truly supports the whole person: the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual self in each of us. This informs my work with individuals, couples, and groups by making psychotherapy an exciting journey in which, together, we find how their unique abilities and strengths can be applied to challenging life situations, relationships, and the unfolding of new ways of being. My experience allows me to serve clients in crisis and those suffering from traumas, address a variety of symptoms such as anxiety and depression, work with unique populations such as sexually and gender-diverse people, and facilitate deep personal growth and identity development in others. I work cognitively, symbolically, and somatically, and maintain a practice rooted in interpersonal feminism and mindful compassion. Two decades of studying eco-psychology and world religions gives me an appreciation of diversity and the sacred while allowing me to join my clients as a companion on their unique personal journeys. My approach to relationships is based in emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT) and I am dedicated to serving the polyamorous and multiply partnered communities in San Francisco.
