Dr. Lauren Thomas

If you’re feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, mood shifts, or ADHD symptoms and wondering whether medication could help, you’re not alone. I work with teens and adults navigating mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and stress-related challenges.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my mix of medical expertise and genuine compassion. With a background in both psychiatry and intensive medical care, I understand how closely the mind and body are connected. My goal is to make care accessible and consistent, which is why I offer flexible scheduling and telehealth appointments.

In our first sessions, we’ll review your history, clarify your symptoms, and determine whether medication is appropriate. If it is, we’ll build a treatment plan that feels realistic, evidence-based, and aligned with your goals and overall health.

Outside of work, I find balance through yoga, comedy, time with my dog, and enjoying sunny days — reminders that healing comes from both steady progress and moments of joy.

Please note: I do NOT provide therapy.

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, which means I specialize in psychiatric evaluation and medication management. I focus on diagnosing conditions, developing thoughtful medication plans, and optimizing treatment over time. While I do not provide therapy, I value a collaborative approach and often coordinate with therapists and other providers to support comprehensive care.

Starting care is a brave step, and you don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. If you’re feeling stuck or uncertain, that’s okay. I’ll meet you with curiosity, compassion, and clinical skill as we work together toward clarity, healing, and the truth that you can feel better.
