About Lauren Hanson (She/Her)

Lauren Hanson, PMHNP, helps patients across Michigan find stability, clarity, and improved well-being through compassionate and clinically informed psychiatric medication management. She works with children, adolescents, teens, adults, and seniors, tailoring treatment plans that address symptoms, enhance functioning, and support each person’s goals. As a prescriber at LifeStance Health, she provides care for ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and trauma-related conditions, along with additional mental health needs that arise across the lifespan.

Lauren brings particular expertise to supporting individuals recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital. She understands the vulnerability, uncertainty, and emotional challenges that can accompany this transition and provides careful medication monitoring, safety-focused planning, and steady therapeutic support to help patients regain stability and confidence during this critical period.

Her practice includes meaningful experience working with diverse populations, including individuals with autism spectrum disorders, first responders, and LGBTQ+ patients. She also serves military members and veterans and offers additional support to patients with complex mental health presentations. Lauren draws on a warm, practical style that emphasizes patient empowerment and collaborative decision-making.

Outside of her clinical work, Lauren enjoys camping, curling, and spending quality time with her family—interests that help her stay grounded and energized as she supports patients on their healing journeys.

See what our patients are saying about Lauren Hanson

I've been working with the LifeStance Psych & therapy teams for around 6mos, and while the therapist wasn't the right choice for me, the psych has been incredibly helpful. Working within the LifeStance network is also very convenience. I would have given 5 stars, but the online patient portal is dated and not user-friendly. I'm unable to update my personal information without calling in, and it's difficult to find the time.
