Dr. Mandelbaum is the best therapist I have ever had. He has helped me to deal with trauma and bipolar disorder, enabling me to become a high functioning happy healthy adult.

Since we started working together in 2019, I had major difficulties and had to transfer graduate schools, was very unsure about my career path, and was harming myself through unfulfilling casual dating situations. At the lowest points, especially during COVID19, I became extremely depressed, gained weight, & spent all my time in bed.

Through deep analysis, DBT skills training, working on what a healthy daily routine should look like, finding ways to quit smoking and cut back on alcohol, and learning how to be kind to myself, I slowly began to heal.

Dr. Mandelbaum is very empathetic, flexible, well read, and a great teacher – he integrates worksheets, poetry, music, art, and meditation techniques to help the patient in a 360 degree holistic way. I have a backpack of tools now to use to balance my moods, cope with difficult situations, and turn the mind.

Although I am not exactly where I want to be now, I have regained my confidence, self esteem, and pride. I am on track to complete graduate school, my career is more than back on track, which includes me building 2 social entrepreneurial ventures, I have learned to stand up for myself and say “no,” I have a stronger relationship with family and friends, and I do not feel alone even though I am single.
