Lauren Ross is an experienced and board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who holds a Bachelors and Masters in Science of Nursing, graduating magna cum laude from The University of Alabama.

Lauren’s philosophy in her approach to patient care: treat the whole person, mind, body, spirit, while considering other environmental or social factors when evaluating and treating a patient. She believes that the judicious use of psychopharmacology (using psychiatric medications to treat mental disorders), in combination with individual psychotherapy, behavioral management strategies and parent/caregiver education can bring about positive changes in the lives of those suffering from depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder or other mood disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or other disruptive behavior disorders and other common mental conditions/life issues.

Lauren is married and resides in Guntersville, Alabama with her husband, Zach and their daughter, Maisie and son, Miles. Her favorite thing to do is spend time with her family. She also enjoys traveling, cooking (and eating!), music/concerts and all things Disney! She’s also an avid sports fan- especially for The University of Alabama!
