Expand Your Self Wellness is a psychotherapy practice in Baltimore, Maryland, offering integrative and ketamine-assisted therapy for individuals seeking deeper healing, expanded awareness, and meaningful change. Clinically grounded and soulfully guided, our work supports people who are ready to move beyond patterns of contraction, disconnection, and emotional overwhelm and into a more connected, embodied, and purposeful way of living.
We support individuals who feel ready for deeper healing and a new way of relating to themselves. Many arrive feeling stuck, burned out, or disconnected from their inner life. Some have been in therapy for years yet sense there is more to understand, more to feel, and more to reclaim. They want a therapeutic experience that honors the wisdom of the body, nervous system, and expanded states of awareness.
We also work with clients who feel called to ketamine-assisted therapy or psychedelic integration as part of their healing. These individuals are seeking a safe, ethical, trauma-informed environment where expanded experiences can be held with skill and compassion. They value integrity, presence, and an approach that blends clinical care with embodied practice.
Our work is rooted in The PATH Approach™, a trauma-informed and embodied process that supports deep and sustainable transformation. The PATH Approach blends Internal Family Systems, EMDR, somatic therapies, mindfulness, and expanded awareness practices to help clients connect with their bodies and integrate insights into lived experience.
Lauren Going, LCSW-C, is a licensed therapist, author, and leader in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, psychedelic education, and expanded states of awareness for healing. Based in Baltimore Maryland, she brings more than two decades of experience in both clinical practice and consciousness-based work to help clients reconnect with themselves, deepen emotional steadiness, and create meaningful transformation.
Lauren is known for her grounded presence, her ability to create emotionally attuned and trauma-sensitive spaces, and her commitment to ethical and embodied therapeutic care. She integrates Internal Family Systems, EMDR, somatic therapies, and expanded awareness practices to help clients move beyond contraction and reconnect with their inner wisdom.
Her work is guided by the belief that the body holds profound intelligence and that healing happens when clients feel safe, seen, and supported.

As a teacher and facilitator, Lauren and her team offer trainings, retreats, and mentorship for practitioners wanting to deepen their capacity to hold transformative, psychedelic-informed, and trauma-sensitive work. She is currently developing her first book, weaving together science, awareness, and embodied healing.
