Dr. Mandelbaum has helped me expand my capabilities in communication. I have now become a better listener and watcher than just an activist and doer. When I need to find peace in myself, I think of him telling me to open my palms and breathe. I do just that. It helps me be calm. He is etched in my brain. Dr. Mandelbaum has the uncanny ability to make me feel understood – like we travel on the same thought wave length. When issues came up with my parents, he helped give us structure so we can be together. He gave us healthy boundaries so we can live together. I have become more patient since working with Dr. Mandelbaum.
