Dr. Matthew Mandelbaum is a Licensed Psychologist specializing in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) in NY, CT, and FL. Dr. Mandelbaum’s work focuses on giving clients the tools and skills they need to cope and succeed. He has expertise in anxiety, depression, building self-esteem, personality disorders, and helping individuals who are not meeting career/professional goals. He also enjoys working extensively with emerging adults as they develop their identity and grow personally, socially, and professionally. He understands the excitement and challenges that accompanies living in New York City, and looks forward to helping his clients explore their ambitions and reach their goals.

Message to clients

I work at the intersection of psychology, education and development to help professionals in business, healthcare, the arts & education, university students, and emerging adults. I have helped clients make transitions to mindfully develop skill sets that reclaim their authenticity, reduce pain, suffering and self-injurious behavior, overcome trauma, cope with physical illness, strengthen effectiveness across all domains of their lives, and build lives of worth.
I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, as a first cohort member of the 2-year Linehan Institute Behavioral Tech DBT-Team-Building Intensive for Independent Practitioners.

- Client • December 2019
"I’ve been working with Matthew for several months now. He’s been great at providing practical tools and resources I can use/practice daily, keeping me accountable to my goals, all while being a generally positive force through a particularly rough patch for me."
- Client • December 2019
"I have had a great experience working with Dr. Mandelbaum. When I started seeing him, I struggled with self-confidence and being productive. Often times, I found myself held back by my own thoughts and worries. Dr. Mandelbaum offered me an open listening ear, and practical skills I could use daily. Through the use of these mindfulness tools, I have dramatically improved my confidence levels and achieved many personal and professional goals. I have very happily worked with Dr. Mandelbaum for the last nine months, and I’m excited to see where I will be in another nine."
