Dr. Margaret Dorfman, PhD

Dr. Margaret Dorfman, PhD

Psychologist
157 E 86th St, New York, NY
You've built a successful career, but when it comes to the rest of your life, you can't shake the feeling that you're leaving something on the table. If you're used to approaching problems with focus and intention, you likely want therapy to feel equally purposeful. You want to understand what's contributing to the problem, have a clear sense of what you're working toward, and know whether you're making progress. Maybe you've tried therapy before, but talking about what happened each week hasn't changed what keeps getting in your way. Therapy should give you a clearer understanding of what's driving the problem, what you're working toward, and why.

Getting to know Dr. Margaret Dorfman

You've built a successful career, but when it comes to the rest of your life, you can't shake the feeling that you're leaving something on the table. If you're used to approaching problems with focus and intention, you likely want therapy to feel equally purposeful. You want to understand what's contributing to the problem, have a clear sense of what you're working toward, and know whether you're making progress. Maybe you've tried therapy before, but talking about what happened each week hasn't changed what keeps getting in your way. Therapy should give you a clearer understanding of what's driving the problem, what you're working toward, and why.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is active, collaborative, and neuroscience-informed. We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand what may be driving the problem, then identify priorities and build a treatment roadmap. The goal is not just insight, but change you can recognize and progress we can evaluate over time.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I’m a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist who completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Mount Sinai’s Department of Neurology. My background also includes published research on sleep and brain health and training in nutrition science through Stanford. This expertise informs how I understand the connection between psychological health, brain health, and daily functioning. Reach out to schedule a consultation.
