Prior to beginning her doctoral training, Dr. Brofman worked as a case manager for children with special needs at SKIP of NY, Inc., and then as a clinical research coordinator at Columbia University Medical Center, where she coordinated clinical research studies on mood disorders and stress during pregnancy.

Dr. Brofman's doctoral research focused on the role of the psychologist in reproductive medicine. Her clinical training included clinical work and teaching at Rutgers University's Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center (ABA model), and clinical work (psychological assessment, testing, and treatment) at Rutgers University’s Center for Psychological Services, Lutheran Medical Center’s Sunset Terrace Family Health Center (now NYU Langone), New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical College, Jacobi Medical Center, and St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center (now Mt. Sinai St. Luke’s and Mt. Sinai Roosevelt Hospitals).

Dr. Brofman opened her practice in 2014 in Greenwich Village, NYC, and has since then provided psychotherapy for adults in the areas of general psychology and reproductive mental health. She also worked as an outpatient staff psychologist at NYC Health + Hospitals (2014-2016), and then at the Seleni Institute (2016-2020). As a staff psychologist in both settings, she provided diagnostic evaluation, individual psychotherapy and group support, supervised trainees, and gave professional talks. At the Seleni Institute, she also developed and taught in-person and online-based trainings for healthcare professionals and contributed articles to the website. Dr. Brofman has enjoyed working extensively alongside physicians and other interdisciplinary providers throughout her career, and continues to do so regularly in order to provide comprehensive care to patients.

TEACHING & COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Dr. Brofman joined the faculty of Teachers College, Columbia University in 2016 and served as an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Counseling and Clinical Psychology from 2016-2018. In 2016 and 2017, she created an original curriculum, launched, and taught the first two semesters of Perinatal Mental Health: Clinical and Counseling Perspectives, a master's level course within the new curriculum in Reproductive and Maternal Well-Being at Teachers College. This exciting and cutting-edge certificate program, pioneered by TC’s Sexuality, Women and Gender Project, is one of the only master’s level programs nationwide offering instruction in this specialty area. In 2018, Dr. Brofman worked collaboratively with the team at Teachers College towards the course joining TC’s permanent curriculum. The Perinatal Mental Health course offers a fresh lens on the increasingly complex experiences of reproductive life transitions in the 21st century, including both clinically relevant and normative adjustment experiences. The certificate program welcomes non-matriculated students, including post-graduate professionals, as well as Columbia students. For more information, or to apply, click here.

Dr. Brofman is a member of a number of local, state, and national professional organizations. She has been an active member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine's Mental Health Professional Group (MHPG) since 2011. In 2015, she was elected to the MHPG's Continuing Education (CE) Committee, which coordinated ASRM’s continuing education credits and opportunities for psychologists nationwide. Dr. Brofman served as Chair of the CE Committee in 2018-2019. The CE committee was also involved in ASRM's efforts to spearhead the first (2016) online Mental Health Professional Certificate Course on the psychosocial aspects of infertility and assisted reproductive technologies. Dr. Brofman also served as a peer reviewer for the online course. She currently serves as an MHPG mentor.
