“COVID has changed the way we see the world, including the fear of physically being outside the home. Because of this, I have adapted the way I work with my patients to maximize their comfort through in-person, telehealth, and online treatment options.”

Relationship Issues

Dr. Gellman is adept at working with patients in exploring the ability to seek, protect, and participate in the complicated matrix of mother-daughter, father-daughter, mother-son, father-son, and husband-wife.

Eating Disorders

Dr. Gellman specializes in treating Eating Disorders and Body Image Distortion. She has spent a significant portion of the last 35 years studying why and how Eating Disorders and Body Image Distortions have become as prevalent as they have in our society. She treats clients of all ages, including adults and seniors.

High Conflict Divorce

When Dr. Gellman appraises how a child is affected by divorce, she evaluates the child’s academic performance, school attendance, symptoms of depression, anger, behavioral problems, and social skills as indicators.

Bipolar Disorder

Dr. Gellman works to influence the multiple and conflicting contexts a patient is dealing with in order to help regulate the affective experience as well as helping them to gain a sense of competence and power within themselves as well as their relationships to others.

Dr. Gellman’s book focuses on the characteristics and symptoms of self-doubt that all of us can recognize.

No one is immune to seizures of doubting his or her own ability and potential. Self-doubt can threaten interpersonal relationships, destroy marriages, hinder children’s developmental potential, suppress creative expression or even lead to alcoholism, eating disorders and drug abuse. The following is a 10-step plan to begin a process of understanding your own self-doubt and how to effectively put it in perspective:
