Evidence-based practices with creativity, curiosity, and genuine connection
Sara Samedi, your Baltimore-based therapist for children, adolescents, and families.
Meet Sara
I’m a licensed clinical social worker with advanced training and experience providing telehealth therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families. My work is grounded in a person-centered, trauma-informed approach that blends evidence-based practices with creativity, curiosity, and genuine connection.
I have worked in a variety of clinical settings with diverse populations, which has shaped a flexible and collaborative therapy style. I’m passionate about creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported as they navigate life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth.
Outside of therapy, I’m deeply inspired by the outdoors and the grounding power of nature. I enjoy staying active, such as running the New York City Marathon, and have lived in multiple countries, which has given me a deep appreciation for different cultures, perspectives, and ways of being.

I accept out-of-pocket (self-pay) and am in-network with Cigna and Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS).
For clients who are using out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill upon request, which you may submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement. Coverage and reimbursement rates vary by plan, so I recommend checking directly with your insurance company to understand your benefits.

My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and celebratory, and I welcome clients of all identities, backgrounds, and expressions. Above all, I believe in meeting each client where they are and partnering with them in a way that honors their strengths, values, and goals.
