Maria Fabunan, MD

As a psychiatrist at NYU Langone, I am deeply committed to understanding the intricate dynamics of the human mind and its influence on behavior and reactions. My early medical career exposed me to the profound emotional impact of a traumatic event on a family, sparking my interest in psychiatry and underscoring the importance of mental health. This experience inspired me to dedicate my career to guiding patients through their emotional journeys.

My focus lies in the intersection of psychiatry and women’s health, particularly during pregnancy, postpartum, and throughout the reproductive years. My background as a medical technologist, along with my extensive residency training, has equipped me with the knowledge and expertise to effectively manage complex cases. I believe in a personalized approach to care, where I carefully tailor a unique blend of medications, therapy, and support to create an effective treatment plan for each individual.

I am dedicated to proactive engagement in healthcare, fostering strong relationships with my patients, and ensuring a positive experience. Recognizing the value of patient research and independent reviews, I am committed to providing comprehensive, seamless care in collaboration with my colleagues at NYU Langone.

My journey into medicine began during my tenure as a medical technologist, where I was intrigued by the complexities of the human body and the impact of various conditions on patients’ lives. This curiosity, along with a pivotal experience during my clinical rotation, led me to pursue a career in psychiatry. I am continually inspired by the resilience of my patients and the profound joy and satisfaction that comes from helping them navigate their mental health journeys.
