Lauren Lonergan

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to adolescents and adults. I am licensed in North Carolina and have advanced graduate training in psychiatric-mental health nursing. My approach is collaborative and patient-centered, focused on creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and respected. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and life transitions. My goal is to provide individualized care that combines medication management, supportive therapy, and practical coping strategies to promote long-term stability and well-being.

My approach to care is collaborative, patient-centered, and evidence-based. I work with clients to create a safe and supportive space where they feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment. I integrate medication management with psychoeducation and practical coping strategies, using shared decision-making to guide care. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and stress-related concerns. My focus is on helping clients build long-term stability, resilience, and improved overall well-being.

In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free environment where we take time to understand their concerns and goals. I will gather a comprehensive history, including current symptoms, past treatment, medical background, and any relevant life stressors. Together, we will begin identifying priorities and developing an initial, individualized treatment plan. My goal is to ensure clients leave the first visit feeling heard, understood, and clear about next steps. The focus is on building trust and establishing a strong foundation for ongoing care.
