Getting to know Laurie McGuire

Hi there, I'm Laurie! Do you wish providers would look at you through a whole person lens instead of discussing health and mental health separately? Do you want a provider for your child who is playful and skilled at engaging children? Are you an adult who likes a more personal, connected approach to therapy? Do you have a teen who has had difficulty connecting to other providers? Well look no further! I enjoy using storytelling, videos, and conversation to help clients of all ages improve self-esteem, self-worth and gain a better understanding of sense of self. A licensed clinical social worker and board-certified supervisor with over 25 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults, I spent much of that time working for the world-renowned Kennedy Krieger Institute, a Johns Hopkins affiliate, where I was also in leadership. I have post-graduate certificates in Treating Children & Adolescents, Leadership, Fitness Nutrition, Somatic Trauma Therapy, and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health providers. More personally, I love hiking, watching Marvel movies, lifting weights, and crowd surfing at concerts. I believe we should never stop playing like children!

What should a new client know about working with you?

My goal is to focus on building rapport and trust in the first few sessions. I do not ask about trauma or other difficult topics during the intake for various reasons, and I aim to follow your lead as much as possible throughout our sessions. I generally use a supportive, skill-building approach while also incorporating mind-body work.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

For the first 4-6 weeks, I prefer seeing clients weekly to establish a relationship and begin working on goals. We might do a combination of talk-based and body-based (somatic, mindfulness, polyvagal, etc.) therapy, but you ultimately decide what you prefer! I will follow your lead.
