I am Lauren Brown, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a Nurse Practitioner at Mental Health Practitioners offering compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care across the lifespan. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and women's mental health, with particular expertise supporting high-achieving women and girls, children, adolescents, and families. I also provide autism-related emotional support and parent coaching. Weaving neuroscience, lifestyle, and practical coping strategies together, I partner with my patients in long-term, relationship-centered care so they feel genuinely seen, supported, and empowered in healing.
My clinical focus spans child and adolescent mental health, ADHD, anxiety, and trauma, with particular attention to women's mental health and high-achieving women and girls. Blending clinical expertise with compassion, I help you feel truly seen, supported, and empowered as you heal. Together, we work toward lasting growth, and you are never ever alone.
If you're here, chances are you're facing something hard—worry for someone you love, struggles of your own, or the weight of carrying it all alone. You don't have to shoulder that burden by yourself. I'm here to hear your story and support your way forward. You deserve to feel heard, valued, and truly cared for. I'll be here whenever you're ready to begin.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, my focus is medication management, integrated with supportive therapy and psychoeducation. We'll start with a comprehensive evaluation to determine if medication is right for you. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, and neuroscience to help you understand your brain and build sustainable tools for managing symptoms.
