Training & Experience
Maya’s specialization in trauma stems from her extensive clinical experiences and trainings at the Manhattan Harbor VA, the Police Athletic League, and Kula for Karma, where she supported adolescents and adults coping with complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and addiction recovery. She understands the profound impact of trauma and excels in guiding clients through these challenges, fostering enhanced self-awareness, and aiding clients toward reducing unwanted symptoms and avoidant behaviors.
Additionally, Maya is trained in Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-E), a leading evidence-informed treatment for eating disorders. This approach equips patients with strategies to break self-reinforcing cycles, manage symptoms and adjust maladaptive thought patterns tied to their eating disorder.
With a Master’s degree in Social Work from New York University (NYU) and extensive training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), psychodynamic therapy, person-centered therapy, harm reduction, and mindfulness-based approaches, Maya is able to customize treatments to align with her patient’s unique needs.
