Dr. Robin Risler, a licensed psychologist, psychoanalyst and addictions counselor in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania offers a safe place to slow down, look inward and work on healing.
Rediscovering Meaning Through Therapy
Through her private practice in Center City Philly, just steps from Rittenhouse Square, Dr. Risler offers both in-person and virtual sessions. Dr. Risley believes that therapy isn’t just about managing symptoms but it’s about rediscovering who you are.
She helps people explore their thoughts and emotions, both the ones they recognize and the ones buried beneath the surface. Her sessions are a space where you can explore what’s on your mind and what’s hidden beneath the surface. By unpacking thoughts and patterns, she helps people reconnect with their sense of possibility and purpose.

She works to pinpoint triggers and develop healthier coping skills. Her services provide help for people with addiction to gambling, drugs, alcohol, technology, work, and other behavioral addictions.
Healing Begins with Connection
Her approach blends relational psychoanalysis with other evidence-based therapies like CBT and psychodynamic therapy. At its core, it’s all about connection because healing often begins when you feel understood and accepted. Whether you’re working through anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, addiction or depression, she will walk beside you with empathy and honesty and help you find strength in your story.

Treatments
If you have a mental health condition and an addiction, it is critical to address both conditions simultaneously. If you only address the mental health disorder, you'll likely continue to use drugs or alcohol, which can make your mental health issues even worse. On the other hand, if you only address the addiction, you won't have the tools to cope with your mental health disorder in a healthy way.
Clinical Services

Therapists tailor the sessions to help you develop healthier thought patterns and behaviors, which improve your self control and build a foundation for your long term sobriety.
Group therapy sessions in Pennsylvania offer you a safe space when you're struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.
