I'm Hagan Lawson, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and graduate of Purdue University. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy for individuals experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and other mental health challenges. My background in both physical and mental health care has shaped the way I practice, I believe understanding the whole person is essential to providing meaningful mental health care. Above all, I want my patients to feel comfortable being themselves and know they will be heard, respected, and involved in their care.
Hi. My name is Amy. I have been a nurse for 30 years and a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner for over a year and a half. I love listening to my clients and giving them the best care possible. I love cows! And I look forward to working with you. I am not a therapist. I can do an evaluation and prescribe medications IF needed. I do not like to prescribe medication if I do not have to.
I am a Mental Health Counselor, licensed in NY, MA, NJ, NH, RI, KS, UT, WI, IN, AR, and OR, with over 20 years experience in the counseling field. I have had experience assisting clients with a wide range of concerns, such as, parenting issues, family/personal relationships, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, and anger management.
I have over 38 years of experience helping children, adults, and families navigate complex emotional and relational challenges. I work from a family-systems and strength-based perspective, focusing on understanding patterns that contribute to ongoing stress and disconnection.
I am direct, thoughtful, and collaborative in my approach. I work with ADHD, anxiety, depression, school concerns, divorce, and family relationship challenges. When working with children, I believe caregiver involvement is essential for meaningful and lasting change.
Relationships are some of the hardest things we navigate — and grief is one of the heaviest things we carry. If you're in the middle of a family conflict that feels like it's pulling everyone apart, or you're sitting with a loss that's hard to put into words, you don't have to figure it out alone. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I work with individuals, couples, and families who are navigating the moments that shake the foundation — and I'm here to help you find solid ground again.
