  • "Working with Dr. Buchman was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our relationship! When we first started couples therapy, we were newly engaged, navigating communication challenges and struggling to set boundaries with family. Dr. Buchman was incredibly insightful—she didn’t just address surface-level issues, but helped us uncover the deeper patterns shaping our relationship. Couples therapy with Dr. Buchman truly transformed our relationship. She guided us toward meaningful breakthroughs with warmth, empathy, and evidence-based strategies. We are now happily married with a baby, and we still find ourselves using the skills we learned in our sessions with her."

  • "I had the privilege of working with Dr. Buchman over the course of almost three years. Over that time, she was an incredible help to me both through my day-to-day struggles and during some of the most challenging moments of my life. She is an incredible listener who communicates heartfelt empathy whether meeting in person or virtually. Her approach blended the flexible, open-ended nature of supportive therapy with the practical tools of her DBT training. When navigating new challenges, I still find myself frequently returning to the tools we worked on and the insights I gained from working with her. Therapy with Dr. Buchman changed me for the better."

  • "Dr. Buchman is a rare find - someone who is respectful, thoughtful, and expertly insightful. One of the hallmarks of a good provider is to allow the evolution of a personal journey, no matter why you first come to them. And that was exactly my experience. Though I walked in the door worried about anxiety, I left with important insights about my attention... She is a psychologist with the intangible gift to make one feel heard, yet at the same time inspire growth and change. Her expertise always yielded evidence-based concrete strategies to problems I raised, and I always left our sessions with something new to try. I discovered therapy was fundamentally about…my willingness to seek and implement change. But I could not have done it without an expert guide — one who made me feel heard, helped me heal, and gave me the tools to grow into my best self."
