I am a Lacanian Psychoanalyst and licensed clinical psychologist, dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families through life's challenges.

My practice serves clients of all ages, from infants to adults, and addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. I also specialize in helping clients navigate marital distress, parenting difficulties, and the psychological effects of illness and physical pain.

With experience as a Tech founder, I bring a unique perspective to therapy, understanding the demands of professional and entrepreneurial life.

Choosing a psychologist can be a complex decision, and I aim to provide clarity and guidance about therapy, psychoanalysis, and brief analysis. My expertise includes assessment, treatment planning, trauma recovery, and managing secondary stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue.

I offer psychoanalysis and psychotherapy tailored to each client's needs, as well as consultations for professionals in education, healthcare, and business. My approach emphasizes collaboration, creating a safe space for clients to explore their challenges and achieve meaningful growth.

Together, we work toward building resilience, fostering insight, and finding a path to a more fulfilling life.

Dr Hirshfeld is a very good therapist and a true professional.
When I was in crisis Dr Hishfeld has proved that she can handle solid what I was dealing with (and that was a lot) and has training and wide experience that helped me fully recover.
