about

LAUREN WILLIAMS, M.D.

Hello, I’m Dr. Williams, a board-certified adult psychiatrist who believes in the power of integrative approaches to treat psychiatric disorders and enhance overall health. My approach is rooted in curiosity, methodical exploration, and an unwavering commitment to helping those around me.

My Journey

My journey towards integrative medicine began when I became disenchanted with a healthcare system that seemed to prioritize profiting from diseases rather than truly focusing on prevention and enhancing patients’ well-being.

This motivated me to explore alternative approaches and seek more comprehensive solutions for my patients.

Before embarking on my medical career, I worked as a calculus teacher in high-risk schools. This experience instilled a passion for education and fostering human potential. I then ventured into the technology sector, teaching myself to code and gaining valuable insights into the intersection of technology and healthcare. These exposures scaffolded how I conceptualized medical concepts and my flexibility towards innovation.

As a board-certified adult psychiatrist, I have received extensive training in modern and traditional remedies.

Additionally, I completed Public Psychiatry and REACH fellowship at Yale University, both of which focused on providing compassionate psychiatric care for marginalized groups. These experiences have deepened my understanding of the diverse needs and unique challenges faced by individuals from all walks of life.

In addition to my specialization in integrative psychiatry, my sub-interests include energy & anti-aging medicine as well as healing the subconscious through targeting trauma. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience treating trauma in veterans, increasing neuroplasticity with ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP). I am well-versed in other short term therapies like EMDR and ART. I’m genuinely fascinated by the factors that can hold us back from reaching our full potential.

I am genuinely passionate about helping individuals achieve mental wellness and thrive in their lives.

I keep a small patient roster in order to do so. By combining my comprehensive training, integrative approach, and commitment to preventive care, I strive to make a positive impact on the lives of those I serve.

Let’s embark on this journey together towards a brighter, healthier future.
