Getting to know Lauren Highsmith

Hi! My name is Lauren and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Baltimore, MD. I am currently pursuing my Doctor of Social Work (DSW) at Morgan State University. I have over four years of experience providing therapy, along with a professional background in crisis intervention services. My passion for this work grew through serving young people and seeing firsthand the difference it can make when someone feels heard, supported, and understood. I specialize in working with teens and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, relationships, identity, family dynamics, and life transitions. My approach is supportive, relatable, and practical, incorporating DBT skills, Motivational Interviewing, supportive therapy, and trauma-informed care based on each client's needs. My goal is to help you recognize your strengths, better understand yourself, and develop tools that support meaningful growth and lasting change.

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.
