Journey


Lauren Wolf, DSW, LCSW is a Doctor of Social Work and a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience in community agencies, medical, and physical medicine rehabilitation settings. She has served individuals and families across the lifespan. Dr. Wolf began her career in social services working as a prevention educator for a sexual assault center. As Dr. Wolf entered her Master of Social Work program in 2007, she was drawn to health care issues and working with older adults and thus chose to specialize in these areas. An internship in a hospital during her master’s program solidified her interests in supporting people with disabilities and older adults. Dr. Wolf has conversely worked at times with women, children, and youth facing issues related to health and trauma.

In 2013, Dr. Wolf had an opportunity to engage in a transformative international professional social work exchange. This life-changing experience led her to engage more deeply in citizen diplomacy and champion international social work education. These collective experiences have supported Dr. Wolf’s lifelong learner journey as she serves individuals and families through a holistic and global lens.

In recent years, Dr. Wolf has served in various positions at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, an acute rehabilitation hospital and affiliated rehabilitation clinics. Her recent work has included serving individuals and families who have faced serious illness, injuries, disabilities, and trauma. The gun violence survivors and families she met further inspired her pursuit of a doctorate. She began her deepest learning journey during the pandemic in 2020 while also continuing to serve the individuals and families that showed deep resilience and fortitude during these challenging times. Dr. Wolf graduated from Millersville University of Pennsylvania in 2024 with a Doctor of Social Work. Her research focused on social workers’ knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and practices related to community gun violence.

Dr. Wolf is also an accomplished pianist and double majored in human services and music in her undergraduate studies. She spends her free time engaged in activities that help her build resilience and protect her peace. She enjoys entertaining as a pianist, spending time outdoors, enjoying live music, yoga, pilates, and running outdoors. Taking time for mindfulness practices helps her rest, recharge, prepare for the challenges that come in life, and helps her stay ever joyful. Dr. Wolf believes serving others is her true calling. It is an honor and privilege to serve others, and it provides deep meaning and purpose.

Dr. Linda possesses extensive teaching experience across the curriculum, where she seamlessly blends theory with practical application. She also provides professional consultations for dissertation and thesis success across doctoral, master’s, and bachelor’s programs, empowering individuals to excel academically and overcome test anxiety.
