Dr. Lauren Schneider

Welcome! I’m honored you’re considering care. I’m a doctorally prepared Nurse Practitioner with dual board certification in Adult-Gerontology Acute Care and Primary Mental Health. As a former first responder, I bring firsthand understanding of the unique stressors faced by those in high-intensity roles. I take a trauma-informed, person-centered approach to care. I specialize in working with individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes, including first responders and members of the LGBTQ+ community. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to take steps toward healing.

I believe in collaborative care, meaning we’ll work together to identify your goals and tailor treatment to your unique needs. I strive to create a space where you feel empowered to explore healing at your own pace. Whether you're managing anxiety, depression, PTSD, or life transitions, I bring empathy, clinical insight, and a deep respect for your lived experience to every session.

My style is grounded, compassionate, and direct. I value transparency and trust, and I strive to make our work together both meaningful and manageable. If you're looking for a provider who will meet you where you are and walk with you toward where you want to be, I’d be honored to be part of your journey.
