Dr. Andrew Mantelman

I became a psychologist because I believe everyone deserves the skills and support to create a life worth living. My path has combined a deep curiosity about how the mind works with a passion for helping people overcome challenges and thrive. I earned my Psy.D. in Psychology in 1997 and have advanced training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as well as other gold-standard, evidence-based methods.

Over the years, I’ve worked in numerous medical rehabilitation settings, private practice, and as an adjunct professor, giving me a wide-ranging perspective on both the physical and emotional aspects of recovery and growth. I have experience helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and difficulties with emotion regulation.

I specialize in building resilience, reinforcing positive coping skills, and integrating biological, psychological, and social approaches to address concerns from every angle. I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations, and I adapt my approach to meet the unique needs of each person. In our work together, you’ll find me supportive yet straightforward—a partner in your growth who believes in your ability to create meaningful change, one step at a time.

I believe therapy works best when it’s a partnership. I work alongside my clients to understand their goals, challenges, and strengths, creating a supportive and motivating space where change feels possible. Using evidence-based approaches—including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—I focus on teaching and reinforcing practical coping skills that help you navigate life’s challenges and build a more balanced, fulfilling life.

My work draws on an integrated understanding of the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence well-being. This means we can address both the immediate challenges you’re facing and the deeper patterns that keep them going. Whether we’re working on managing intense emotions, improving relationships, or increasing resilience, my goal is to equip you with tools you can carry into everyday life.

Together, we’ll build on your strengths, apply proven techniques, and create meaningful changes that improve your quality of life—one step at a time.

Therapy is a partnership. Clients can expect to be heard and receive a genuine and honest perspective. Typically clients will receive homework to help reinforce positive coping skills and move forward to their overall goals.
