About Dr. Rubenstein

Professional Statement

I am a board certified psychiatrist and have been caring for women and men throughout my three decades of practice.  I practice general psychiatry and specialize in the areas of eating disorders, mood disorders and management of illness in pregnant and postpartum women. 

My treatment modalities include psychodynamic psychotherapy, supportive psychotherapy, and cognitive-behavioral techniques.  I provide pharmacologic treatment to my patients as well as to those of referring colleagues.  I frequently provide consultation to my medical colleagues regarding their patients’ psychiatric issues. Treatment is individualized with the recognition that each person is unique with issues and preferences worthy of respect.

I am a fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and a member of the Academy for Eating Disorders and the North American Society for Psychosocial Obstetrics and Gynecology.

I have lectured to the public on women's stress, eating disorders and postpartum depression.

Throughout my career, I have taught and supervised medical students and psychiatric residents.
