Connect with Lauren Strongwater
I have 10+years of experience as a nurse practitioner, in inpatient and outpatient settings, with expertise managing a broad range of acute and longstanding conditions. I have a strong background in motivational interviewing, harm reduction, and Internal Family Systems practice. I partner with each client to work toward their goals using a biopsychosocial, evidence-based approach. While medication may be an integral tool, I employ a whole person approach toward achieving health and steadiness grounded in my client’s values and strengths.
In addition to my outpatient work, I am a provider on an acute psychiatric unit at John Muir Health seeing patients struggling with depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, as well as perinatal mood disorders. I have special expertise working with adolescents and young adults, the LGTBQI community, and clients struggling with substance use.
I welcome the opportunity to discuss your needs and build a plan together towards your goals. I will spend 15 minutes by telephone with you prior to our first formal session to see if we are a good fit.
