Lauren Fournier -MSN-APRN- PMHNP-BC
Iam a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a deep-rooted commitment to providing holistic, compassionate care. With over a decade of experience as a registered nurse specializing in psychiatric care, I have developed a profound understanding of the complexities of mental health and barriers to care. I pursued my advanced degree in order to help expand access to psychiatric providers and have been working with patients throughout the lifespan within a psychiatric acute care setting as an attending provider.
​
I possess extensive expertise in working with adolescents and young adults grappling with co-occurring disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use. However, I provide comprehensive psychiatric care for adults with a range of disorders including depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, psychiatric women’s health concerns, and ADHD. By approaching each patient as a unique individual, I strive to create a supportive and empathetic environment where healing and growth can flourish.
I believe that medication is often a valuable component of a comprehensive wellness plan, but it is not the sole solution. I emphasize the importance of addressing the underlying causes of mental health challenges through a holistic approach that incorporates various therapeutic modalities and lifestyle factors.
​
I am dedicated to empowering patients to develop resilience, coping skills, and a strong sense of self. By fostering a collaborative partnership with patients, I work diligently to help them achieve their mental health goals and live fulfilling lives.
