I primarily treat patients experiencing anxiety and depression, as well as conditions such as OCD, ADHD, and mood disorders. My approach is holistic, addressing the physiological, cognitive, and emotional aspects of mental health to support overall well-being.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from the University of Central Florida, I am committed to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care. I believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and soul—and meeting each individual where they are in their journey.
Seeking support is a sign of strength—something we all need at times. Simply putting words to what you’ve been carrying can feel like a weight lifted. With an objective, supportive partner, you can gain clarity about where you are and where you want to go. When you’re ready, you’re welcome to reach out or schedule an appointment.
I graduated from The Ohio State University with my DNP in 2020 focusing on efficient pathways to implement depression screening post-stroke to identify mental health needs. After working a couple years as a nurse practitioner within neurosurgery, I transitioned from Ohio to Florida and pursued my PMHNP certification from Florida State University. Over the past 5 years I have been treating psychiatric needs in LTC around Florida. I am currently working to expand into independent practice and work personally with individuals creating a therapeutic relationship and enhancing their mental health.
I have been an LCSW for over 15 years, and anxiety is where I do my deepest work..the racing thoughts, the physical tension, the constant "what if" that won't quiet down. I also work with clients navigating depression, major life changes, grief and divorce. But if anxiety is running the show in your life, that is exactly where I want to start.
I’m Lauren Butler, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker who is passionate about helping people feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally supported in their lives. My work is rooted in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can be honest about what they’re going through and feel truly heard.
I have experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, empowering, and practical—not intimidating. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, break unhelpful patterns, and build healthier ways of coping so they can move forward with more clarity and confidence.
My clients seek to understand and accept themselves and their life experiences. Together we will explore how your past is impacting your present, so you can ultimately move toward a better future.
I work with individuals, couples and families from an attachment and systems perspective, knowing we experience many wounds through relationships but through the right relationships we can also experience healing.
It is important in my work that I allow the client's cultural context inform my treatment.
I love the field of psychology and I am continually amazed at the resilience of the human spirit and our potential for growth. Lori works with adult and seniors.
