I help people carrying trauma, grief, or the weight of sexual abuse find steady ground again. For over two decades I've supported survivors of abuse and their families, walked alongside people through grief, bereavement, and the hardest parts of death and dying, and helped clients manage PTSD and personality disorders using a strengths-based approach. I trained at the University of Montana and Portland State University, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon. If you're ready to feel supported while you do this work, I'd love to talk with you.

After nearly two decades in healthcare operations, I expanded my work to mental and emotional well-being, drawing on personal and professional experience in inpatient and outpatient settings. I’m dedicated to helping you heal, feel, and recover.
I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Fisk University, a Master’s Degree in Healthcare Administration from The University of Kentucky, and a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Avila University. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP), a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Kansas, Alaska, Missiouri, and Oregon, and Career and Relationship Coach in the state of Indiana. I also have a certification in Child and Adolescent therapy. My scope of practice includes: Anxiety, Bullying/School Stressors, Career & Couples Coaching, Conflict Management, Depression, Domestic Violence, Eating Disorders, Grief/Loss, Identity Awareness, Spiritual Exploration, Suicide Prevention, Trauma, & Work/Life Balance.

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'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.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing teletherapy for teens and adults in Oregon and California. While I’ve supported a wide range of mental health concerns in my practice, I currently focus on chronic stress, anxiety, and burnout. I work with people who tend to have more sensitive nervous systems — often shaped by early childhood experiences, chronic relational stress, high emotional attunement, or years of self-override. It takes courage and effort to start therapy, so I’m glad you’re here.
