Dr. Mendelsohn is a Columbia University trained psychiatrist and neuroscientist licensed in New York and New Jersey. She works with adults in both medication management and psychotherapy, with a particular focus on mood and anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Her practice strives to take a warm, collaborative and non-judgmental stance to create individualized treatment plans for each patient, incorporating medication and/or psychotherapy as appropriate. Her treatment approach draws from multiple perspectives in psychiatry, including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness and neuroscience, with a therapeutic style that is direct, transparent and empathic.  

In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Mendelsohn recently completed a research fellow at Columbia’s Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute, and is now based in London leading translational research at Sania Therapeutics, a biotechnology company focused on developing precision therapeutics for the nervous system. She also has a longstanding interest in the arts and co-founded a non-profit organization, Creatives Care, aimed at helping artists in New York find affordable mental health care.
