Dr. Cortman continues to maintain a successful private practice while pursuing projects that enable him to meet a larger need for psychological expertise in the community. These projects include frequent public speaking with the use of ‘edu-tainment’, as he prides himself on providing an ‘educational’ experience riddled with humor that keeps the audience involved and entertained.

Another project of his is the development of The Social Black Belt, a social/emotional learning program for schools and individuals of all ages.
Dr. Cortman is a published author of four books: ‘Your Mind: An Owner’s Manual for a Better Life: 10 Simple Truths That Will Set You Free,’ ‘Take Control of Your Anxiety,’ ‘Keep Pain in the Past: Getting Over Trauma, Grief and the Worst Thing That’s Ever Happened to You’ and ‘The Social Black Belt’.
