GentlePsych

Psychiatry with Heart
GentlePsych is a psychiatry practice for patients in Ohio, Oregon, & Montana Welcome and Thank You for visiting GentlePsych.

My name is Lauren Brown and I am a board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and the owner of GentlePsych. GentlePsych is an online telepsychiatry practice which allows for the convenience of having an appointment from wherever you are the most comfortable. GentlePsych was founded on the principles of compassion, academic knowledge, clinical experience, and creating a sense of belonging. GentlePsych strives to make the world of psychiatry a little less scary and more user friendly for everyone.

I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health concerns as well as concentrating on overall wellness. I have additional training and expertise in pediatric psychiatry. I am currently accepting new child, adolescent, and adult patients. I treat patients from 7 years old and up in Oregon.

This Thanksgiving week, we’re focusing on gratitude, the gentle kind.

Not the “be grateful no matter what” pressure, but the soft recognition of how far you’ve come.

Here are a few things to give thanks for today:
✨ Your capacity to heal, even when progress feels slow
✨ The resilience you didn’t realize you had
✨ The rest your mind and body needed (and deserved)

Healing isn’t linear, but every step counts.
We’re thankful for you, for showing up, trying again, and taking care of yourself in the ways you can.

💛 What’s one thing you’re grateful for this week?

As the days get shorter and temperatures drop, many people begin to notice shifts in their mood and energy, sometimes more than they expect.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that follows the seasons, most commonly appearing in late fall and winter.

Symptoms can include:
• Low mood
• Fatigue or sluggishness
• Oversleeping or insomnia
• Loss of interest in usual activities

These changes are real, and they often have biological causes such as reduced sunlight, shifts in melatonin, and changes in serotonin levels.

If you or someone you love is struggling with the winter months, know that help is available.
💛 You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Reach out to GentlePsych for compassionate, evidence-based support.

Are mood swings, irritability, or heavy periods starting to feel overwhelming? If you’re in your 30s or 40s and experiencing symptoms that feel like PMS ×10, it might be more than stress.

Hormone imbalance is common in perimenopause, but it doesn’t have to control your life.

At GentlePsych, we provide personalized Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to help restore balance so you can feel more like yourself again. 🌿

Because women deserve compassionate, tailored care at every stage of life. 💙

Feeling anxious, down, or struggling to sleep? 😴

Sometimes it’s not “just stress.” Low progesterone and other hormone shifts can increase anxiety, disrupt sleep, and trigger mood swings.

At GentlePsych, we look at the whole picture. ✨

By combining traditional psychiatry (therapy + medication management) with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) when needed, we help your mind and body work together, not against each other. 🌿
