FAQs
Getting started
Do I need to know what my diagnosis is before I book?
No. "Something feels off," "I'm not functioning like myself" and "what I'm doing isn't working anymore" are all valid reasons to seek an evaluation. Figuring out what's happening is the purpose of your first visit.
Does seeing a psychiatric provider mean I'll be on medication?
Not automatically. Treatment begins with assessment. Medication may be part of your plan when it's appropriate, and we'll talk through the reasoning, the options and your preferences together.
Which provider should I see?
Dr. Lauren Hansen sees adolescents and adults. She focuses on pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause and menopause (including hormone therapy), bipolar and other mood disorders, and ADHD diagnosed later in life.
Mary Lauren Mitzelfeld sees children, adolescents and adults for anxiety, depression, ADHD and mood disorders, and is our provider for children and teens.

About psychiatric nurse practitioners
What is a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner?
A psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) is an advanced practice registered nurse trained to diagnose and treat mental health conditions across the lifespan, including prescribing medication.
How is a PMHNP different from a psychiatrist, psychologist or therapist?
They differ in training and scope. Psychiatric nurse practitioners and psychiatrists can diagnose and prescribe medication. Psychologists provide therapy and psychological testing but don't prescribe. Therapists and counselors, including social workers, provide talk therapy and don't prescribe.
What's the difference between therapy and medication management?
Therapy focuses on talk-based treatment and coping skills. Medication management focuses on diagnosis and on evaluating, prescribing and adjusting medication. Many people benefit from both, and we're glad to coordinate with your therapist.
How is a PMHNP different from my primary care provider?
A primary care provider coordinates your overall health care and may refer to specialists. A PMHNP brings advanced, specialized training in mental health diagnosis and treatment.
Urgent needs
What if I'm in crisis?
