Lauren Wenzl, PA-C

Hi, my name is Lauren Wenzl, I am a certified Physician Assistant specializing in Psychiatric-Mental Health. I work with patients of all ages and a variety of mental health diagnoses. I believe in working in collaboration with my patients in order to reach optimal outcomes.  My hope is for my patients to overcome their obstacles and lead their best lives.

Before becoming a PA, I worked 30 years as an engineer. Over time helping people became my main focus.  While working as an engineer, I pursued medical credentials working in a variety of patient care settings and medical jobs. In 2016 I achieved a Masters Degree in Physician Assistance from Keiser University and now have 7 years practice experience.  I have come to understand that all of us need someone to listen to our concerns. Someone who listens without judging, offers empathy, compassion, and lends an ear to our struggles can make a significant impact in our mental health.  My goal is to provide that relief to my patients through talk, recommendations, medications, or therapeutic care guidance.

I grew up in Massachusetts where my belief in life-long fitness was nurtured.  I have specialized in psychiatry for the last 3 years helping  patients with Addiction/Substance Use Disorders, Bipolar, Depression, Anxiety Disorders, BPD, PTSD and more.  Working one-on-one with people is a joy, and the most rewarding work of my life.  I consider each individual unique; collaborating with the individual and their treatment team to come up with a treatment plan supported by evidence-based practice guidelines.  I stay flexible with treatment recommendations as ‘one shoe does not fit all’. I look forward to meeting you.
