Dr. Matthew Goldenberg founded Mental Health and Wellness Associates to help increase access to high quality mental healthcare in California.

The goal at Mental Health and Wellness Associates is to fully empower patients to reach their goals and to thrive. If you have PPO insurance, we are happy to provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement for “out of network” benefits. We have chosen not to be in-network with any insurance plans because this allows you and your doctors and therapists to determine the most ideal care, intensity, duration and frequency for you, without any interference outside forces. You can learn more about insurance here.
