Maia Fohrman

Maia Fohrman, LCSW, CSAT, has been practicing for 13 years in the field of mental health. Maia started my career in Burlington, VT, where she was a founding member of the UVM Collegiate Recovery Community in 2011. She gained experience working with adults in the first rural Housing First program, simultaneously interfacing with the county women's jail as a peer support for incarcerated women struggling with substance use and mental health disorders. Subsequently, she returned home to Chicago to complete her MSW degree, and focused on teen mental health. Maia moved to Los Angeles in 2016 and continued her work with adult mental health and substance use disorders. Over time, her interests evolved towards matters of intimacy, and she now specializes in sex and love addiction broadly, with more specific interests in chemsex and offending behavior. Maia has held positions as varied as clinical director in a luxury inpatient program, case management with unhoused people suffering from serious mental illness, individual and family therapist, and now facilitates groups on the topic of sex and love while also maintaining a private practice in Echo Park and Beverly Hills, CA. Outside of work, Maia enjoys film, drawing portraits and sketching Zines, as well as spending time with dear friends, her partner, and her kitten.
