Testimonials
Words cannot express Dr. Rubenstein’s professionalism and knowledge within the realm of psychiatry, psychology and mental health. During the last ten years in my career as a mental health counselor, I have had the experience of becoming acquainted with many colleagues, including psychiatrists with the interest in helping progress the lives of our patients. None can compare to the competence and empathy that Dr. Rubenstein has been capable of displaying. He is deeply invested in learning the problems of each individual patient and works tirelessly to create solutions. He is not only is an amazing independent clinician, but he is also a stalwart advocate for the best interest of each patient.

Dr. Rubenstein is hands-down the BEST therapist I have ever seen. Without medication, he helped me emerge from a state of depression and confusion about my job, my relationships, and my place in the world. Moreover, he has helped me evaluate my own thinking and actions to strengthen my own sense of self and to live a meaningful life on my own terms. As far as his practice goes- he is very compassionate, incredibly thoughtful, thorough, and highly communicative. I am in regular contact with him via email between appointments for administrative issues as well as to generally share my thoughts and continue our in-person conversations. He is very quick to respond to outreach and always engages with me. As an added bonus, Dr. Rubenstein also has a mini blog complete with videos on a wide range of topics, which have proven to be a helpful third perspective to engage with. I recommend him to ALL of my friends, both those with an acute need for a psychiatrist as well as those looking to reroute their lives on a more meaningful path than the one they feel they are on.
