My name is Lauren Brown and I am a board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and the owner of GentlePsych. GentlePsych is an online telepsychiatry practice which allows for the convenience of having an appointment from wherever you are the most comfortable. GentlePsych was founded on the principles of compassion, academic knowledge, clinical experience, and creating a sense of belonging. GentlePsych strives to make the world of psychiatry a little less scary and more user friendly for everyone.

I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health concerns as well as concentrating on overall wellness. I have additional training and expertise in pediatric psychiatry. I am currently accepting new child, adolescent, and adult patients. I treat patients from 7 years old and up in Oregon.

Some people carry anxiety very quietly.

They succeed.
They stay organized.
They rarely let things fall apart.

But behind the scenes there can be racing thoughts, pressure, and the constant feeling of needing to do more.

High-functioning anxiety is real.
And you don’t have to manage it alone.

At GentlePsych, we’re here to help you find space to breathe again. 💚

Some people are so used to being the strong one
that they forget they’re allowed to feel tired.

If you’re the one everyone leans on…
when was the last time you had space to lean?

You don’t have to wait until you’re overwhelmed to ask for support.
Sometimes healing starts with simply being heard.

If this resonates, we’re here. 🤍

🌟 Therapist Spotlight: Meet Olivia! 🌟

We’re so excited to introduce one of the newest shining stars on the GentlePsych team — Olivia St. Clair, LSW! 💛

Raised right here in Columbus, Ohio, Olivia brings a big heart and deep dedication to supporting clients through life’s ups and downs. She earned her master’s from The Ohio State University and began her clinical journey supporting patients and families in hospice care during the pandemic — talk about compassion in action!

Olivia has since broadened her experience across medical and hospital environments, including ICU settings, where she helped people navigate some of the most complex emotional and medical experiences with care and grace.

🧠 What she loves working with:
✨ Adolescents (12+), adults, couples, and families
✨ Grief, anxiety, depression, and trauma
✨ Life transitions & identity exploration (including LGBTQIA+ and gender-related concerns)
✨ Strengthening relationships and communication 💬

Her therapeutic style? Warm, collaborative, authentic, and real. Olivia creates a space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and supported — kind of like talking with a wise friend who also happens to be an expert listener. 💞

This Thanksgiving week, we’re focusing on gratitude, the gentle kind.

Not the “be grateful no matter what” pressure, but the soft recognition of how far you’ve come.

Here are a few things to give thanks for today:
✨ Your capacity to heal, even when progress feels slow
✨ The resilience you didn’t realize you had
✨ The rest your mind and body needed (and deserved)

Healing isn’t linear, but every step counts.
We’re thankful for you, for showing up, trying again, and taking care of yourself in the ways you can.

💛 What’s one thing you’re grateful for this week?

As the days get shorter and temperatures drop, many people begin to notice shifts in their mood and energy, sometimes more than they expect.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that follows the seasons, most commonly appearing in late fall and winter.

Symptoms can include:
• Low mood
• Fatigue or sluggishness
• Oversleeping or insomnia
• Loss of interest in usual activities

These changes are real, and they often have biological causes such as reduced sunlight, shifts in melatonin, and changes in serotonin levels.

If you or someone you love is struggling with the winter months, know that help is available.
💛 You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Reach out to GentlePsych for compassionate, evidence-based support.

Are mood swings, irritability, or heavy periods starting to feel overwhelming? If you’re in your 30s or 40s and experiencing symptoms that feel like PMS ×10, it might be more than stress.

Hormone imbalance is common in perimenopause, but it doesn’t have to control your life.

At GentlePsych, we provide personalized Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to help restore balance so you can feel more like yourself again. 🌿

Because women deserve compassionate, tailored care at every stage of life. 💙
