That's completely okay — and still incredibly valuable information. Many women seek an ADHD evaluation after years of feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or misunderstood. Sometimes ADHD is the missing piece, and sometimes we discover that another condition — such as anxiety, trauma, depression, or chronic stress — is playing a bigger role. As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, Lauren is trained to diagnose and treat a full range of mental health conditions. If ADHD isn't the right explanation, she will help identify what is happening and create a treatment plan that supports your wellbeing. Either way, you won't leave without clarity and a path forward.
If medication is appropriate and you're comfortable starting, we can initiate treatment during your evaluation. However, there's no pressure — we'll move at your pace.

As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, Lauren diagnoses and treats the full range of mental health conditions. During your evaluation and ongoing care, she looks at the complete picture — not just ADHD — so your treatment plan addresses everything affecting your wellbeing. Sometimes ADHD is the missing piece. Sometimes other factors need attention as well. Either way, the goal is the same: helping you feel better, function better, and regain control of your life.
