✨ A Sneak Peek at What’s Next at Viking Psychiatry & Wellness ✨

Today, we’re excited to share a first look at our updated Viking Psychiatry & Wellness logo, a visual reflection of how our approach to care continues to evolve.

But this change is about much more than appearance.

Mental health does not exist in isolation. Conditions like depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, burnout, and mood instability are shaped by the brain, nervous system, hormones, metabolism, sleep, and physical health working together or sometimes, working against each other.

Here’s what the next chapter of Viking Wellness includes:

🧠 Brain & Nervous System Function
We are expanding non-invasive neuromodulation options that influence the neural circuits involved in mood, anxiety, trauma, OCD, and related conditions including upcoming technologies that allow more diagnoses to be treated with fewer visits.

😴 Sleep, Energy, and Autonomic Balance
Sleep disruption, chronic fatigue, and nervous system dysregulation often sit beneath psychiatric symptoms. New therapies will support parasympathetic activation, muscle relaxation, and nervous system recovery, helping the brain heal more effectively.

🔥 Chronic Stress, Pain, and Somatic Symptoms
The body often carries stress long before the mind catches up. Muscle tension, pelvic floor dysfunction, pain syndromes, and somatic trauma responses can worsen anxiety and depression. We’re expanding care to address the physical impact of stress and trauma, not just the emotional symptoms.

⚖️ Hormonal, Metabolic, and Endocrine Health
Hormonal imbalance, metabolic strain, and endocrine disruption can drive mood symptoms, brain fog, irritability, and fatigue and are frequently overlooked in traditional psychiatry. Addressing these systems can significantly improve treatment response and long-term stability.

❤️ Sexual Health & Quality of Life
Sexual health is mental health. Stress, mood disorders, trauma, medications, and hormonal shifts all affect sexual function and confidence. We’re building services that support sexual wellness, pelvic health, and nervous system regulation, because quality of life matters.

⚡ Weight, Body Composition, and Brain Health
Weight changes are often intertwined with mood, metabolism, medications, and stress physiology. Supporting healthy body composition and muscle function can improve energy, self-image, insulin sensitivity, and overall mental well-being.

🧠⚡ Next-Generation TMS
We’re preparing to launch expanded TMS options that:
• Treat a broader range of conditions
• Require fewer total sessions
• Improve access to advanced, non-medication treatments

This is about precision, efficiency, and outcomes, not more appointments for the sake of more appointments.

Our mission is ambitious but clear:

➡️ To provide whole-person mental health care by integrating advanced psychiatric treatment with the biological systems that shape how the brain functions.

The new logo is just the beginning.

Stay tuned for more!

This holiday season, we’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to support The Center for Whitley County Youth by donating boxes of Blushbottoms books and bears.

The need in our communities is real, and organizations like this are doing life-changing work every single day, especially for children who deserve safety, belonging, and hope. Being able to play even a small role in that mission means more to us than we can put into words.

We’re honored to be involved, thankful for the incredible team serving these kids, and hopeful that these bears and stories bring comfort, smiles, and a reminder that every child is special just as they are.

Merry Christmas, and thank you for letting us be part of something so meaningful. ❤️🎄

We are so happy to support this nonprofit. Such an amazing team and mission.

✨ Welcome Lauren — It’s Her First Day! | Accepting Patients January 14th ✨

Today is a special day at Viking Psychiatry. We are thrilled to welcome Lauren LaRoe, PMHNP-BC, to the Viking family as she officially begins her first day with us!

Lauren joins a team that has been growing rapidly, fueled by a shared mission to expand access to life-changing mental-health treatments across Northeast Indiana. And today marks the beginning of her chapter in that mission.

Beginning January 14, 2026, Lauren will begin accepting new clients, bringing her decade of experience, compassion, and expertise to our offices in both Fort Wayne and Warsaw.

Why This Matters for Northeast Indiana

When Viking Psychiatry opened in 2021, we were a single-provider practice with a simple but powerful vision:
to bring cutting-edge, compassionate mental health care to communities that needed it most.

Thanks to the trust of thousands of patients and the transformative success stories we hear every day, Viking has grown into a strong, united team committed to doing even more.
We’ve added innovative treatments, expanded offices, extended treatment hours, and built a family of providers who are genuinely aligned in purpose.

Lauren represents that continued growth and strength. She brings:

Board certification across the lifespan

10+ years of community mental-health experience

Strong expertise in treatment-resistant depression and PTSD

A passion for advanced, modern psychiatric care

Experience teaching future NPs and supporting Indiana’s farming communities through Purdue Extension’s Farm Stress Advisory Council

Her dedication mirrors our dedication and we couldn’t be more excited.

Welcome to the team, Lauren. Today is the start of something special.

We can’t wait for our patients to meet you.
