“Lauren was SO amazing. Patient & understanding. Very practical and understood my concerns. As a woman of color, I had several reservations before even booking this appointment but speaking to her and feeling heard by someone who truly values the work they do really meant a lot. Very grateful to have seen her for my care!”

Getting to know Lauren Kusi
*Please note, at this time we do not accept Medicaid or Medicare. *
I am board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner dedicated to providing holistic mental health care. I believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms, and I aim to form strong connections with my patients to create personalized treatment plans. I use evidence -based practices to address a wide range of psychiatric disorders. To stay grounded and informed, I enjoy reading, mindfulness and yoga.
What should a new client know about working with you?
*Please note, at this time we do not accept Medicaid or Medicare. *
I am dedicated to ensuring everyone has access to excellent mental healthcare. As the founder, my journey began over a decade ago as a psychiatric nurse. After five years of hands-on experience, I pursued further education at Case Western to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, a role I’ve now held for another five years. This decade of specialized experience has shaped my commitment to providing compassionate, evidence-based care. When you work with me, you're not just a patient; you're a partner. I believe in a collaborative approach, where we work together to find the best path forward for your mental well-being. From our first meeting, we'll focus on creating a safe and trusting environment where you can openly share your story, and together, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan that respects your needs and goals.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Onboarding:
After you book your first appointment, I will send intake forms to the email and phone number you have on file. These forms give me a better understanding of your health history and what you hope to achieve. I ask that you complete them before our session so we can focus our time together on your care.
Assessment and Planning:
Our first session is all about building a foundation of trust and understanding. We will discuss the reasons you scheduled the appointment and review any current medications you may be taking. While I do provide supportive therapy, I want to be upfront that I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner, not a therapist. If you are seeking intensive therapy, I may not be the right fit for you. However, I can refer you to a trusted therapist I work with, ensuring you get the comprehensive care you need. After this initial assessment, we'll discuss a potential diagnosis and create a personalized treatment plan together.
Ongoing Care:
Mental health is a journey, not a destination. Our regular follow-up appointments are essential for monitoring your progress, adjusting your treatment plan as needed, and addressing any new concerns that arise. This phase is highly collaborative; your feedback is crucial. We'll celebrate your successes, navigate any setbacks, and ensure your treatment continues to align with your evolving needs. My goal is to empower you with the tools and support you need to live a fulfilling life.

Since my other psychologist retired last year, I had been looking for another one & came across an ad on YouTube about this. After doing some searching, I found one & booked it right away. Just had our first session earlier this evening & she was very caring & helpful. I would highly recommend her if you are suffering from anxiety / depression. A definite 5 stars.

I had such a positive experience with Lauren. From the very beginning, she made me feel heard, supported, and truly cared for. She takes the time to listen without judgment and explains things in a way that’s easy to understand. Lauren’s compassion, patience, and expertise in mental health care have made such a difference in my journey.
She not only helped me through difficult moments but also gave me tools and guidance I can continue to use in my everyday life. I’ve felt more hopeful and empowered since working with her, and I’m so grateful for the safe space she creates for her patients.
If you’re looking for a provider who is kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your well-being, I highly recommend Lauren.

Lauren is, hands down, the best provider I've ever had. She's so relatable and down-to-earth, and she actually listens to what you say. Unlike other providers, she takes the time to get to know you as a person and treats you more like a friend or family member. Her recommendations were spot-on and actually worked for me. I can't recommend her enough!
