Getting to know Laura Smith

Hi, I'm Laura - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience working with adults in case management and housing-focused roles. I graduated from Rutgers School of Social Work in 2016 and have spent my career showing up for people navigating some of life's hardest moments. My approach is strength-based, supportive, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation - not a lecture - and I'm not afraid to bring some humor into the room when it fits. I build rapport quickly and create a space where clients feel genuinely comfortable from the start. Outside of the therapy room I'm passionate about supporting helping professionals through their own licensure and development journeys. When I'm not working I'm probably running, playing with my cats, hanging out with my family, and finding caffeine to help me function.

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.
