Laura Gryniewich-Franklin, MD, LCSW-C

Laura Gryniewich-Franklin is a licensed clinician with two decades of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, parenting challenges, career concerns, and major life changes. She combines training and hands-on work across outpatient therapeutic services, in-home family support, education settings, and medical social work to provide care that draws on a wide range of real-world experience.

She holds MD and LCSW-C credentials - MD indicates a medical doctor and LCSW-C indicates a licensed clinical social worker - and is licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Over nearly 20 years she has worked with clients facing depression, anxiety, family and relationship conflict, grief and loss, parenting difficulties, trauma, abuse and neglect, and crisis situations.

Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered techniques, applied with attention to each personâs unique situation. Equally important to her training is the quality of presence she brings to sessions: open-minded, non-judgmental, and fully attentive. Laura approaches each therapeutic relationship as a partnership, offering steady support while collaborating on goals and practical strategies. Whether clients seek focused work on a specific issue or a compassionate space to process difficult emotions, she aims to provide thoughtful, respectful care and practical steps forward.
