Professional statement

Dr. Margaret Dorfman is a clinical psychologist and the founder of Raspberry Health, a practice where mental health meets brain health. She works with adults and older adults who may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or mentally foggy—and those who are navigating life transitions, health challenges, or simply want to feel more like themselves again.

Her approach is warm, thoughtful, and personalized. Dr. Dorfman blends talk therapy with practical strategies that support emotional and cognitive wellbeing. She draws from evidence-based therapies—like CBT, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based approaches—while also attending to lifestyle factors like sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress.

Dr. Dorfman completed her postdoctoral fellowship at Mount Sinai Hospital’s Department of Neurology, where she specialized in treating individuals with multiple sclerosis and co-occurring anxiety, depression, and cognitive changes. She brings this holistic lens to her work with patients managing chronic illness, burnout, or early memory concerns.

Raspberry Health offers both in-person sessions in New York City and virtual appointments for adults across New York State. If you’re feeling stuck, struggling, or simply looking for support that connects both mind and body, Dr. Dorfman provides care that’s compassionate, science-informed, and centered around you.

Message to clients

Before we begin, I want you to know that therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating. You don’t need to have everything figured out to reach out. Whether you're feeling anxious, down, overwhelmed, or simply not like yourself, we’ll work together to make sense of what’s going on and find a path forward that feels manageable and meaningful.

I take a warm, collaborative, and integrative approach to care. That means I’ll listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and support you not only emotionally, but also in understanding how factors like stress, sleep, and brain health may be playing a role. Our work will be tailored to who you are and what you need—no one-size-fits-all approach here.

My hope is that you’ll feel both supported and empowered in our work together. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Therapy can be a place where things begin to shift—in small ways at first, and then in more lasting ones. If you’re ready, I’m here.
