Getting to know Lauren Greenwald

Hi there, I'm Lauren! My name is Lauren Johnson, and I am licensed as an LCSW-C in both Maryland and Virginia. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work. I believe that individuals have a great capacity for growth, change, and healing. Therapy plays an essential role in helping people achieve an expanded awareness of themselves and of themselves in relation to others. I take a compassionate, non-judgmental, strength-based approach as I support you in dealing with challenging life experiences. My approach I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing, The Seven Challenges, and Mediation. I specialize in working with people struggling with anxiety, trauma, substance use, depression, parenting issues, school issues, marital issues, and life cycle transitions. My focus I typically work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, trauma, substance use, and depression. My communication style I strive to create a therapeutic environment that allows people to feel as relaxed as possible, not judged, validated, and comfortable communicating about their issues and needs. I meet clients where they are and focus on empowering them to take control of their lives and make thoughtful decisions about the changes they would like to make. My journey to mental healthcare I have always had the desire to help people, so it seemed natural to pursue psychology and social work in college and graduate school. After many years in the field and doing many different things, I decided to focus on private practice work. I love being able to connect with people on their own journey and help them build skills to achieve their goals. My goals for you I take time with clients to explore what they would like to see different in their lives and how they will take steps to get there.
