Lauren Douglas’s love for improving the mental health of children began in high school as a volunteer at Texas Children’s Hospital. It was there that she discovered her passion for mental health, while listening to the stories of children with serious medical conditions and her innate desire to brighten their day. 

Lauren’s primary speciality is Child Psychiatry with a secondary specialization in Adult Psychiatry. She received her Medical Degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch where she did her Adult Psychiatry Residency and her Child Psychiatry Fellowship. 

She is Double Board Certified in Adult and Child Psychiatry. She utilizes Medication Management, Supportive Therapy, and Family Therapy in her practice. 

Lauren has learned that they key to successful mental health outcomes starts with listening. Her approach to psychiatric care is to allow families the space to narrate their story, in order to obtain an accurate timeline of events to arrive at the correct diagnosis. Only then can she provide appropriate treatment options for her patients. 

Lauren Douglas strive to use her clinical skills to accurately pinpoint areas that can be improved with the most effective therapy and/or medication regimen. Her desire is for every patient to leave an appointment empowered and hopeful for an improved outcome by the next appointment. Lauren loves to make her patients laugh.
