Meet Dr. Margaret Dorfman
Dr. Maggie Lorenzetti Dorfman is a clinical psychologist specializing in neuropsychology and health psychology, and the founder of Raspberry Health—a practice where mental health meets brain health. She is licensed in New York State and board-eligible in clinical neuropsychology.
Dr. Dorfman earned her PhD in Clinical Psychology from Nova Southeastern University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at The Mount Sinai Hospital’s Department of Neurology. She also holds a certificate in Nutrition Science from Stanford University and advanced training in CBT-I, the first-line treatment for many sleep disorders. Her dual specialization allows her to treat mental and brain health in a synergistic, outcomes-driven way. She works closely with patients to address modifiable risk factors like depression, anxiety, sleep, diet, and exercise, with a focus on personalized, compassionate care. Dr. Dorfman has particular expertise in neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory conditions, including Alzheimer’s, other dementias, mild cognitive impairment, and multiple sclerosis.
In addition to her clinical work, she brings a strong research background, with a master’s in Experimental Psychology and published research in psychoneuroimmunology—examining the links between sleep, cortisol, inflammation, and health behaviors. This science-informed approach is central to her work supporting long-term cognitive and emotional well-being.
If you’re seeking thoughtful, evidence-based support for your mental or brain health, Dr. Dorfman welcomes you to reach out and explore how care at Raspberry Health can help.
Areas of Practice
Individual Psychotherapy
Dr. Dorfman takes a holistic approach to the connection between mental and brain health, using dynamic, interpersonal, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to address anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, medical illness, and life transitions.
Recognizing how psychological distress can disrupt sleep, nutrition, and exercise—creating a cycle of worsening symptoms—Dr. Dorfman works with you to break that cycle. She believes caring for the mind and body must go hand-in-hand and is committed to helping you feel understood, supported, and empowered in achieving a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Brain Health Support
Dr. Dorfman specializes in supporting adults and older adults focused on brain health, including those with neurological or neuroinflammatory conditions, or a family history of Alzheimer’s who want to reduce their risk. Care begins with a comprehensive assessment and ongoing tracking of key health measures.
Her interventions target sleep, diet, exercise, and other factors linked to neuroinflammation. According to the 2024 Lancet Commission, up to 45% of dementia cases may be preventable—together, you’ll work to address modifiable risks and support your cognitive well-being.
