“Laura is amazing, definitely ADHD friendly and accomodating! I recently did a cross-country move to Oregon and was anxious about having a lapse in medication since my previous provider is out of state. While searching for reputable providers I came across Laura and booked a same week appointment--I am SO glad I did. She showed compassion and interest in my background, provided some great advice for my new living situation, and made sure my care was continued in Oregon seamlessly, sending my prescription the same day. I highly recommend :) ”

Getting to know Laura Peterson

Hello! I’m Laura, a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over a decade of experience in mental health care. I earned my Master’s degree with honors from Rowan University, and my clinical background both inpatient and outpatient care. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals across the lifespan children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. My approach centers on providing compassionate, holistic, and collaborative care. I believe that each person’s mental health journey is unique, and I work closely with my clients to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to their specific goals. I have extensive experience treating conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and more. I believe that everyone has the potential to achieve mental wellness and live a fulfilling life, and I would be honored to support you on that journey. Whether you’re seeking relief from specific challenges or simply looking to improve your overall mental health, I am here to partner with you every step of the way.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and respected. My style is collaborative and compassionate. I believe treatment works best when we work together to understand your experiences, identify your goals, and find the strategies that fit you best. I use evidence-based treatments, including medication management and therapeutic techniques, tailored to each person’s unique needs. My approach is holistic, considering not only mental health symptoms but also lifestyle, stress, relationships, and overall wellness. My hope is to partner with you in building resilience, restoring balance, and helping you move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, my role is to work with you in understanding your concerns, exploring treatment options, and supporting your overall mental health. During our first session, I will take time to get to know you by asking questions about your symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, lifestyle, and current stressors. This helps me develop a thorough diagnostic understanding and create an individualized treatment plan. In follow-up sessions, we will continue to check in on how you are doing, review progress, and make any adjustments to medications or strategies if needed. Alongside this, our visits also include talk therapy. This means we’ll spend time exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, building coping skills, and finding practical ways to help you move toward your goals, not just focusing on medications. My approach is collaborative: I believe the best outcomes happen when we work together, and I will always encourage you to share openly about what’s working and what isn’t.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my two sessions with Laura. She identified multiple things that we needed to work more in depth, as well as got me started on a medication that I believe is helping. She listens very intently and brings up what she believes is import to focus on from those things. I feel like I am in a safe space in our appointments (even through the virtual meetings, which I was worried about) and that she's genuinely concerned about my wellbeing.

We spent the visit talking about my situation and my medicine. Laura is very thorough, easy to talk to and I felt very supported. I would definitely recommend her.
Laura was very kind and genuinely interested in getting to know me. I enjoyed our conversation and look forward to establishing a provider/patient relationship.
I was in a difficult situation with my prescriptions not being able to be filled by my previous doctor. I was feeling really stressed out about it, but Laura answered my call almost immediately and she was understanding of my circumstances and helped me solve my problem quickly with minimal hassle. She even called after my appointment to confirm that my prescriptions would be able to be picked up without issue.

My experience with Dr. Peterson was one of the best I've had with any provider. She was warm and professional. She was engaging and interacted with me in an authentic human manner in which she shared her humanity with my own. I didn't feel like another number or patient file to get through. She didn't just address my diagnosis, she addressed me as a living breathing being with sensitivity and a gentle awareness. She provided a safe space for me to feel secure in sharing with her intimate and sensitive details about my lived trauma and I didn't fear judgment from her because she quickly established she is a safe professional provider with a caring heart and soul that drives her education, expertise, qualifications, and experience in her field.

she was very polite, professional and courteous. I was able to discuss all my concerns and her questions made me feel like she truly cares about her patients. great experience with her overall and I'd highly recommend her to anyone
It was supposed to be a video appointment and when the time came their was no link sent besides one for maps that showed how to get to her office. But again it was set as a video call so I honestly am not sure what happened but it was an important visit to me and it fell through. Otherwise I dont know anything else about this doctor.

Working with Laura has been an absolutely excellent experience. From the very first conversation, she created a sense of trust, clarity, and calm that made the entire process feel effortless. Her professionalism is matched by real compassion, she listens deeply, understands my needs and provides thoughtful guidance that actually leads to results. It’s rare to find someone who combines expertise with genuine care, but Laura does exactly that. If you’re looking for support, direction, or a meaningful shift in your life, I highly encourage you to work with her. You’ll feel seen, supported, and truly empowered.
I have been looking for a Black provider for a while and I was very happy to find Ms Peterson. She really paid attention to my specific needs and made me feel very comfortable throughout the visit. She was able to provide great insight into my medications and I feel really comfortable with our plan.
Very thorough and answered all of my questions
