Alex Caroline Robboy

Couples navigating fractured intimacy, individuals caught in cycles they can’t break alone, and families straining under the weight of unspoken things — these are the people Alex Caroline Robboy has built her practice around. As founder and CEO of The Center for Growth Inc. in Philadelphia, she works with a wide range of clients: adults carrying abuse histories, people managing addiction, those struggling with sexual function and relationship dynamics, and individuals facing anxiety, depression, and the particular exhaustion of professional burnout. When compulsive patterns migrate into new territory — hours lost to gaming, gambling that moves seamlessly from casino floors to apps, scrolling that functions like any other addictive loop — she approaches these the same way she approaches the older ones: as behavior with meaning, not moral failure.

Robboy holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania, along with advanced certificates in human sexuality education, marriage counseling, and sex therapy. She is a board-certified sexologist through the American Board of Sexology and a certified sex therapist through AASECT, and she holds certification as an Imago therapist. Her work has appeared in academic journals, national publications, and broadcast media. She offers both in-person and online sessions.
