About Waves, A Psychological Corporation and its Name
Founder, Dr. Abigail “Abi” Weissman created Waves, A Psychological Corporation when she was looking for a way to lead a group practice that:
-supported and encouraged the strength, power, and richness of feelings
-invoked the importance of metaphor and similes in therapeutic work. Dr. Abigail Weissman is a big fan of imagery.
-utilized water, swimming, the ocean, as these are Dr. Abigail Weissman’s go to for witnessing power, and accessing sense of calm and balance. Dr. Abigail Weissman’s favorite places is on the beach or in the water and on days off, can often be found playing in the waves. She has really happy memories of practicing yoga on the beach and can’t wait to get back to the sand again.

-celebrated the beach. The beach is something that draws people to San Diego from all over the country, let alone the world. Our iconic beaches are fabulous reminders of the outdoor lifestyle that San Diegans enjoy.
She tried out all sorts of names until her wife approved this one, Waves. There are a few other businesses with similar names but none use the plural, Waves. In this site and in our offices, we hope to invoke the sense of calm power that the ocean can bring. We love the cool blue tones and work to provide a beachy modern feel without the sand.
