Meet Lauren
Lauren Brown, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC
I am originally from Alabama which is where my love of connection and belonging came from. I have always lived by the values of kindness, working together, and dreaming big.
I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who earned a Masters of Science in Nursing from Vanderbilt University, the #1 ranked PMHNP program in the country. I have worked in Behavioral Health since 2015 in various settings including Psychiatric Inpatient, Outpatient, Partial Hospitalization, and Intensive Outpatient with kids and adults.
I specialize in pediatric and adolescent psychiatry and treat patients 7 years old and up. I received additional training and experience for pediatric and adolescent psychiatry at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio prior to opening my private practice. While I have passion for children, I truly enjoy working with adults as well.
Variety is the spice of life!
​
I have special interests in treatment of ADHD, Adult ADHD, Trauma, Mood and Anxiety disorders, as well as educating patients on neuroscience in an easy to understand way.
​
My approach to psychiatry and mental health is to work with patients from a place of understanding, warmth, and knowledge to help you heal and grow.
