Contact Me
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel like a big decision. A brief consultation allows us to connect, talk about what you’re looking for, and explore whether working together feels like the right fit.
What to Expect from Your Complimentary 20-Minute Consultation
Your first call is simply an opportunity to connect. It allows you to ask questions, share a little about what you’re going through, and learn more about how therapy might support you.
There is no pressure to commit to anything. The goal is to help you feel informed, comfortable, and confident as you consider your next step.
What to Expect During the Call
During the Consultation, You Will:
Speak directly with licensed psychologist Dr. Mandelbaum
Share what has been bringing you to therapy in a supportive, judgment-free conversation
Learn how the therapy process works and how it may support your goals
Discuss practical details such as scheduling and payment options
Decide whether scheduling a full therapy session feels like the right next step
This conversation is designed to help you understand how therapy works and whether this approach fits what you are looking for.
What This Conversation Is (and Is Not)
This consultation is not a clinical therapy session. Instead, it is an introductory conversation that helps us determine whether working together would be helpful for you.
Many people find that this first conversation makes the process of beginning therapy feel much more comfortable and approachable.
Invitation to Reach Out
I look forward to connecting with you and learning more about what you are hoping to work on.
Therapy can provide practical tools, insight, and support as you navigate challenges and move toward a more balanced and meaningful life.
