Getting to know Karen Ann Schmid

I am a 1990 graduate of the University of Maryland’s School of Social Work, where I earned my Master’s in Social Work with a concentration in clinical social work. I am also licensed as an LCSW-C. Since graduation, I have completed coursework with the Johns Hopkins Odyssey Program in the field of Aging and earned a Certificate in Public Health and Health Care Promotion from the Manukau Institute of Technology. I have extensive knowledge and experience working with clients seeking clinical support across the mental health and wellness spectrum. I am happy to help, and I’ve got your back!

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients can count on me being a receptive as well as an involved listener. I am reflective in my comments and I provide resources for clients to utilize outside of session time, to explore as part of their individualized treatment plan/process. Clients should expect to leave sessions feeling heard, understood, encouraged, and hopeful.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
