Ascend’s Mission

Welcome! I’m Dr. Melyssa Mandelbaum, a licensed clinical psychologist driven by a deep passion for helping individuals and families overcome life’s challenges and thrive. With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) at the core of my approach, I work alongside you to create lasting, meaningful change. While I believe that skills and techniques are crucial, I highly value building a genuine, collaborative relationship where you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way. My commitment is to provide personalized, evidence-based care that meets your unique needs, so you can experience real transformation and begin to live the life you deserve. I’m here to help you discover your strength, and I pride myself on being approachable, relatable, and truly present in our work together.
