LAURIE CHAIKIND MCNULTY, LCSW-C

Laurie Chaikind McNulty is an individual, child, couples, and family therapist and a board-certified clinical supervisor in Maryland. With over a decade of experience supporting clients through life’s expected and unexpected challenges, she believes that therapy should fit the client’s needs, and not the other way around. As such, Laurie uses an integrative approach to create a genuine and collaborative environment. Her areas of expertise include anxiety, stress related to high achieving/high performing individuals, women’s concerns, pre/postpartum mental health and conception/fertility stressors, OCD, attachment/family of origin needs, parenting consultations, young adult life transitions, perfectionism, emotion regulation, and improving self-worth while reducing overwhelming shame. Laurie also has extensive experience in supporting those with executive functioning needs as well as neurodifferences. Additionally, Laurie has a particular interest in working with biomedical researchers and STEM professionals as they navigate the challenges of working in the world of science and technology. She also works extensively using Imago therapy to support couples in building communication skills to feel understood and connected in and out of sessions.

Laurie lives in Brookeville, Maryland with her husband, son, and two rowdy dogs. If we’re on Zoom together, you will probably hear them barking in the background, keeping the house safe from squirrels and deer! Beyond playing with the pups, Laurie likes to travel, drive around on the weekends to find new bakeries, be with friends, and relax by watching her favorite shows on repeat.
