I started seeing Dr. Matthew Mandelbaum when I was struggling to get through a day without feeling a sense of overwhelming desperation and anxiety that made basic functioning extremely difficult. As a queer woman I was honestly nervous about having a male therapist, but he has made me feel comfortable and understood in all of our sessions while still holding me accountable. Dr. Mandelbaum has taught me skills and given me tools that have allowed me to entirely change myself and my life. He is compassionate, intelligent, and dedicated to his work.
