Jennifer Buchwald is a clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience in private practice working with adolescents, college students, and adults experiencing issues related to anxiety and depression. Dr. Buchwald is an expert in the treatment of depression, panic attacks, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), worry, social anxiety, separation anxiety, specific phobias and fears (including emetophobia), health anxiety, insomnia, post-partem depression and anxiety, and issues related to grief and loss. She also helps people improve their relationships by teaching effective communication, social skills, and strategies for connecting with others and maintaining relationships.

Dr. Buchwald specializes in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based treatment that helps people understand how their thinking affects their feelings and behaviors. Her patients learn to modify their unhelpful thoughts so that their perceptions of themselves and situations in their lives are more accurate and conducive to making the changes they are seeking. Dr. Buchwald also teaches coping skills and strategies to treat specific symptoms.

Dr. Buchwald’s approach is warm, caring, and collaborative so that people feel comfortable opening up about the difficulties they are experiencing. When patients first start therapy, she conducts a detailed interview of the current issue, accompanying symptoms, and relevant history. Therapy goals will be set together and Dr. Buchwald will then outline an initial treatment plan.

Dr. Buchwald received her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Yeshiva University and her Bachelor of Arts from Tufts University. Prior to entering private practice, she was the program director of Adolescent Inpatient Services at Westchester Medical Center. She completed her training at highly regarded psychology programs, such as Long Island Jewish Medical Center, St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital, and Four Winds Hospital. Dr. Buchwald offers therapy online via an easy-to-use telehealth program.
