Dr. Lauren Sparks

In a world that too often depersonalizes healthcare, Dr. Sparks is committed to keeping the human and humane in healthcare. She is committed to individualized, relationship-based care despite the wider shift toward an impersonal, system-driven approach. You are unique. Your care should also be. Dr. Sparks is a doctorally prepared psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner as well as a therapist. She has a wide toolkit and based on patient preference she may prescribe medications, supplements, and/or lifestyle interventions. Sessions may include brief therapeutic support as well.

Dr. Sparks prefers getting at the root causes of mental health challenges versus bandaid approaches. She collaboratively works with her patients aiming to elevate their preferences and hard-won wisdom.

During an intake, we will review your most pressing current concerns as well as your wider health history. Together we will begin to build a plan that works for you in real life. You will be seen and heard. You are not just another number in an overwhelmed system. Dr. Sparks is honored to walk this healing path with you.
