Maia Buschmann

Dr. Maia Buschmann has deep experience treating anxiety disorders, mood disorders, OCD, trauma, and insomnia in adults, and conducting comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations for ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and learning disabilities. Her diverse experience, including work in hospital inpatient and outpatient psychiatric units, family medicine, college counseling centers, and private practice, has given her a broad perspective.

Dr. Buschmann’s training includes notable institutions such as Mount Sinai Hospital's Adult Psychiatric Outpatient Clinic and Robert Wood Johnson Family Medicine where she benefited from rich, multidisciplinary treatment experiences. While earning her doctorate, her dissertation focused on implementing evidence-based CBT for insomnia within primary care settings. Beyond her doctorate, she earned a Master of Science from Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, which broadened her understanding of how social, environmental, and other factors can influence mental health.

Her approach is evidence-based and collaborative, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), tailored to each client's goals and identity rather than a single fixed protocol.

Clients describe her as curious, warm, and genuinely engaged, someone who asks the questions that get past the surface. She believes effective therapy starts with a real relationship and a plan you help build, not one handed to you, and she measures success by whether clients leave with insight and skills they can actually use.
