I am accepting new patients of all ages, from children to adults, both for cash pay and insurance with same-day availability.

Hi, I'm Lauren Brown — a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 5 years of experience providing compassionate, individualized care across the lifespan. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Vanderbilt University and have worked in diverse settings including Nationwide Children's Hospital, federally qualified health centers, and private practice. I'm licensed in Oregon.
My practice focuses on helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate challenges like ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I have a special interest in supporting high-achieving women and girls managing ADHD, burnout, perfectionism, and emotional overwhelm — often while juggling demanding careers, family responsibilities, or academic pressures. I also work closely with individuals on the autism spectrum and their families, offering neurodivergent-affirming care that honors how your brain works.
I believe medication management work best when they're collaborative, not prescriptive. My approach blends evidence-based psychiatric treatment with practical lifestyle strategies, psychoeducation, and a genuine commitment to understanding your unique story. Whether you're a parent seeking support for your child, a professional struggling with burnout, or someone who's felt misunderstood by the healthcare system, my goal is to help you feel seen, validated, and empowered.
I specialize in long-term, relationship-centered care — meaning I'm here not just to manage symptoms, but to walk alongside you through growth, setbacks, and healing. I integrate neuroscience, trauma-informed principles, and real-world coping tools into treatment, and I offer parent coaching and family support when helpful.
Outside of clinical work, I'm passionate about creating a practice environment that feels safe, judgment-free, and human. I know how hard it can be to ask for help, and I'm honored you're considering taking that step.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Portland
Finding the right psychiatrist in Portland starts with knowing what kind of care you want to access. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Therapists provide talk therapy and are another valid starting point, depending on your needs. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care approach before booking.
Portland has many psychiatry options across areas like the Pearl District, Hawthorne, Sellwood, and nearby neighborhoods, which can make it harder to narrow your search. Consider whether you prefer an in-person office, virtual appointments, or a mix of both. Psychiatric care often includes shorter, less frequent appointments than therapy, especially for medication management. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading profiles can help you compare appointment availability, communication style, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Portland can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and take your insurance. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before you book, then review bios and schedule directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
