Acadian Health Center: Your Partner in Mental Health
Lauren Alston-Close, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC
Lauren is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, having completed her Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) at Walden University. With 13 years of diverse nursing experience, she brings a well-rounded perspective to mental health care. She is committed to continuous learning and growth as a practitioner and is currently engaged in a fellowship with Psychiatry Redefined, focusing on functional psychiatry to explore and address the root causes of psychiatric symptoms.
Her approach to care acknowledges the interconnectedness of body and mind. While medications can be transformative, she also believes in exploring and addressing the biochemical and lifestyle factors that play a critical role in mental health. Her goal is to meet each client where they are, providing the tools and support needed to cultivate mental wellness and enhance their overall quality of life.
Outside of work, Lauren is likely practicing or teaching yoga, or enjoying time outside with her family.
