Dr. Lauren Thomas

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • Kansas City, KS


If you’re feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, mood shifts, or ADHD symptoms and wondering whether medication could help, you’re not alone. I work with teens and adults navigating mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and stress-related challenges.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my mix of medical expertise and genuine compassion. With a background in both psychiatry and intensive medical care, I understand how closely the mind and body are connected. My goal is to make care accessible and consistent, which is why I offer flexible scheduling and telehealth appointments.

In our first sessions, we’ll review your history, clarify your symptoms, and determine whether medication is appropriate. If it is, we’ll build a treatment plan that feels realistic, evidence-based, and aligned with your goals and overall health.

Outside of work, I find balance through yoga, comedy, time with my dog, and enjoying sunny days — reminders that healing comes from both steady progress and moments of joy.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Kansas


Hello, and welcome, my name is Caroline I know that choosing to seek mental-health support takes strength, and I want you to know that you will not face this journey alone. If you've ever felt like seeking Psychiatric care means meeting a busy, rushed provider who treats you like a diagnosis, I get it. Our world has a way of speeding up healthcare to the point where it's impersonal. I started my own practice to change that. I have experience with all levels of care from severe hospitalizations to routine medication refills. I am particularly passionate about anxiety and in helping my clients who tell me their "brains just won't turn off"...learn how to slow down.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Overland Park, KS

Finding postpartum therapists in Overland Park starts with looking for support that fits your specific needs after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include depression, anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for training in perinatal mental health, postpartum depression counseling, or experience supporting new parents. The PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health care.

Overland Park has a range of local therapists, and virtual care can make the search wider when schedules, infant care, or physical recovery shape what works best. Some people prefer an in-person office nearby, while others find virtual appointments easier to fit around feeding, rest, childcare, or work. As you narrow your options, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you see how each person describes their style, specialties, and experience with postpartum depression therapy.

Therapy in Overland Park can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists, check estimated costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person options after confirming coverage for your specific plan on Headway. You can review therapist profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
