About Bloom Psychiatry
As a women’s health nurse practitioner, Dr. Lauren became increasingly aware of the number of women who were self-identifying as having depression and/or anxiety during well-woman exams. Many had never been diagnosed or even addressed the issues with a primary care provider before. For some, their well-woman exam was the only heath care appointment they took part in all year. A large percentage were self-medicating and forming negative coping mechanisms which further intensified the situation and perpetuated the cycle. As awareness increased surrounding sexual trauma, it became more common for women to come forward about their experiences and symptoms. These ladies were in desperate need of counseling and care in order to start forming healthy relationships, but the normal OB/GYN office was not set-up in a way to facilitate the kinds of relationships or appointments necessary for dealing with trauma and mental health issues. This created a passion in women’s mental health.
At Bloom Psychiatry we offer an integrated approach to treating mental health conditions. We strive to design a truly holistic, evidence-based and personalized treatment plan for our patients. We aim to create genuine partnerships that help ensure each patient feels informed and relaxed about all decisions regarding their mental health care.
