Getting to know Laura Allen
Hi! I am a board-certified Psychiatric and Family Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years of experience in the medical field. My nursing experience spans several specialties. I found my true passion when I began treating substance use disorders and mental health in 2020. With a devotion to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care, I specialize in diagnosing, treating, and managing a wide range of psychiatric conditions including anxiety, depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, ADD/ADHD, OCD, and substance abuse.
I earned my BSN (1999) and MSN-Family Nurse Practitioner (2016) from Eastern Kentucky University. I completed my Post-MSN Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner from Western Kentucky University in 2024.
Committed to holistic and empathetic care, my goal is a collaborative approach, working closely with patients/families to tailor treatment plans that align with their unique needs and life circumstances. The patient-centered approach builds patient rapport and fosters recovery and resilience. An advocate for reducing stigma and increasing awareness about mental health issues, I am dedicated to helping you achieve mental health wellness.
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
