Abby Rosen PhD

I am a licensed psychologist and Co-founder and former Director of InnerSource, A Center for Psychotherapy and Healing in Annapolis, MD, which I directed for over thirty years. As a psychologist and author, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of people feel empowered as they learn to understand and love themselves more fully, communicate more effectively with others, and connect to their inner source of wisdom.

In my private practice, I have worked with individuals, couples and groups to navigate a journey of Lasting Transformation. For those I do not have the opportunity to work with individually, my book and audio book, LASTING Transformation: A Guide to Navigating Life's Journey is a self-guided process based on my years of practice to help transform the behavioral patterns that create obstacles in the relationships and the lives of my followers.

Throughout my life, I have woven the threads of psychology and spirituality into a rich tapestry of personal and professional experience. After receiving my doctorate in Transpersonal Psychology (the integration of psychology and spirituality) from The California Institute of Integral Studies in 1981, I spent 10 years studying with a meditation master, and traveled to India to study meditation and Eastern psychology for a year. I returned to India to co- coordinate the International Transpersonal Psychology Conference in Mumbai, India in 1982.

Since then, I have led numerous workshops including Communication for Transformation; Voice Dialogue—the Psychology of Selves; the Joys and Jolts of Relationships; Our Intuitive Wisdom; Meditation and Kabbalah; and the Power of the Mind. Both Kabbalah and meditation deeply inform my work with clients, and my life.

I have worked as director of the Marriage Family Counseling Clinic, and The Satori Program in San Diego, written a newspaper column called Dear Dr. Abby, and hosted a cable-TV show called “All about Women and the People in Their Lives”. I have worked with individuals, couples and groups for over 40 years.

My mission in life, my practice, my book, my community is one and the same – to inspire you on your journey to transformation, wholeness, and connection with self, Source and significant others.
