Three Minute Therapy is a modern approach to overcoming emotional and behavioral disturbances. It focuses on the present and can teach you how to take an active role in your recovery by helping to identify the unrealistic beliefs at the core of your psychological problems. This gives you powerful tools that you can use to change your thinking and dramatically improve your life.

Dr. Edelstein lectures nationally and internationally, appears on radio and television, and is published in psychological journals. He currently blogs on the Psychology Today website and has a regular YouTube channel and podcast called “Three Minute Therapy.” He wrote the advice column, "Ask Dr.Mike,” which appeared in the Mensa San Francisco Intelligencer and In the Know.
