Lauren Cotton

Hello and thank you for your interest in working with me. I am a doctorally prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (DNP, PMHNP-BC) with a background in psychiatric and women’s health across hospital, community, and private practice settings. I specialize in integrative mental health care, offering thoughtful medication management and supportive therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. My clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions, with a holistic, person-centered approach grounded in mindfulness, CBT, and trauma-informed care.

I work with clients in a collaborative and individualized way. I integrate medication management and supportive therapy when appropriate, always taking a measured and intentional approach.

Sessions are grounded in warmth, curiosity, and respect. I prioritize creating a space where you feel safe to be honest and explore what’s coming up without judgment. Over time, our work often deepens, supporting not only symptom relief, but greater self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful, lasting change.

Our work begins with a comprehensive understanding of your history, current concerns, and goals. By the end, we’ll begin shaping a personalized plan together, so you leave feeling heard, informed, and clear on next steps.
