Ben Spielberg, M.S., Ph.D. Candidate

Ben Spielberg M.S. is the Founding Neuroscientist and Chief Executive Officer of Bespoke Treatment, a company that provides online mental health programs that are built around science, mindfulness, and individualized care. For the past decade, Ben has built a career devoted to mental health treatment modalities based on promising innovations in brain-based technology and research. During his graduate school studies at Columbia University, where he received his Master of Science degree in Neuroscience and Education, Ben developed a specialty in clinical neuromodulation and neuroimaging. During this time, he used brain scans to predict off-label uses for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation therapy (TMS), neurofeedback, and ketamine. In 2018, Ben decided to establish his own mental health center built around personalized combinations of evidence-based treatments. He wanted to assist individuals who had tried the usual methods like medication and therapy, but were not experiencing improvement. Through his neuroscience research, he discovered a number of different ways to individualize these innovative treatments after finding that no one was utilizing these techniques in the way he envisioned. He built an exceptional clinical team and launched his center in July 2019.
