Pamela Handelsman, PsyD

I practice evidence-based therapy, which integrates the best available research with patients’ individual preferences, cultural background, and strengths. I view therapy as a collaboration between equals-the patient who is an expert on themselves and myself who has expertise in therapy. Together we can identify a specific goal and work towards progress. Sometimes that means rediscovering old strengths and coping skills and learning how to apply them in new ways, and sometimes that means learning something totally new. Regardless of how it goes, I work transparently and in collaboration with the person in front of me to help them participate in activities that are important to them and cope with the challenges ahead.
