Hi, I'm Lauren Brown, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over five 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.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating 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 works best when it's 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 has 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 that grows with you. 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.

Above all, I want my practice to feel 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. Whenever you're ready, I'd be glad to meet you and learn your story.
