Lauren Hanson, Nurse Practitioner
Lauren Hanson, PMHNP, helps patients across Michigan find stability, clarity, and improved well-being through compassionate and clinically informed psychiatric medication management. She works with children, adolescents, teens, adults, and seniors, tailoring treatment plans that address symptoms, enhance functioning, and support each person’s goals. As a prescriber at LifeStance Health, she provides care for ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and trauma-related conditions, along with additional mental health needs that arise across the lifespan.
Lauren brings particular expertise to supporting individuals recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital. She understands the vulnerability, uncertainty, and emotional challenges that can accompany this transition and provides careful medication monitoring, safety-focused planning, and steady therapeutic support to help patients regain stability and confidence during this critical period.
Her practice includes meaningful experience working with diverse populations, including individuals with autism spectrum disorders, first responders, and LGBTQ+ patients. She also serves military members and veterans and offers additional support to patients with complex mental health presentations. Lauren draws on a warm, practical style that emphasizes patient empowerment and collaborative decision-making.
Outside of her clinical work, Lauren enjoys camping, curling, and spending quality time with her family—interests that help her stay grounded and energized as she supports patients on their healing journeys.
