I’m a board certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with an additional board certification in adult-geriatric primary care. While working in primary care, I found that there was a vast need for mental health services in our community. I realized that I could help fill that need, so I went back to school to study psychiatry. I founded Long Trail Psychiatry in 2019, and I’m honored to be able to serve our community by providing holistic mental health care and education across the lifespan. At Long Trail Psychiatry, we integrate traditional psychiatric methodologies with holistic and natural approaches to optimize mental health.

Today, she’s the proud mom of two boys (and two dogs), and a lover of adventure. She’s worked in many different areas of nursing and has loved them all. Her family and friends are wildly important to her. She feels most at peace in the forest and the mountains. She loves a good laugh and well-played sarcasm. She is dedicated, as evidenced by her ability to “finish” Netflix while also obtaining her second degree (her family’s words). She is also a certified yoga instructor and a certified Ayurvedic Health Coach and incorporates holistic treatments in her practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/1611243297131-KZ4XH5WKVI8OYP00GD1B/IMG_5807.jpg About Lauren - Professional Memberships American Academy of Nurse Practitioners American Nurses Association American Nurses Association- Vermont American Psychiatric Nurses Association Vermont Nurse Practitioner Association https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/1611183286925-21R536B6DZEC72VGM1I6/Abroad+XXIII+657.jpg About Lauren - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/4942d8d0-447c-4490-812b-51b4ab1f82eb/IMG_4690.jpeg About Lauren https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/d571acad-24ca-450e-9fb9-4753e544d677/IMG_6652.JPG About Lauren - Volunteer Work Vermont Medical Reserve Corps Middlebury Open Door Clinic Community Educator for Vermont Alzheimer’s Association Young Adventurer’s Club Leader for Green Mountain Club Vermont Ambassador for Hikerbabes Community Personal Achievements Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do Thru-hike of Vermont’s Long Trail (272 miles) Toured Ralphie’s house from ‘A Christmas Story’ https://longtrailpsychiatry.com/about-carolyn daily 0.75 2025-01-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/19e65cbf-2e8f-4e17-ba58-83c20f015af9/FullSizeR.jpg About Carolyn Carolyn moved from Florida to Vermont in 2010 and has finally found a place they can call home. They live in Northfield with their partner, two children, three cats, and their dog. Carolyn enjoys nothing more than reading a good book with their cat snuggled up on their lap and a hot cup of coffee or tea to sip on. They also enjoy spending time outside, walking in the woods or trails around their home or finding a new place to explore. Connecting with family and friends is a priority for Carolyn, as they recognize that the community spirit is essential to a sense of connectedness and fulfillment. Carolyn believes in a holistic model of health that encompasses the mind, body, and soul and knows that beauty and meaning can be found in every aspect of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/11e7dd65-8a26-4bd3-993c-9e7ad1100f5e/Carolyn+1.jpeg About Carolyn - Professional Memberships American Association of Nurse Practitioners American Psychiatric Nurses Association https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/02a4d399-d22e-467e-9b89-edfc4ac99619/Carolyn+3.jpeg About Carolyn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/def4f05c-db45-4522-8e2d-31dcadc4f505/IMG_9124.jpg About Carolyn - Personal Achievements Dropped out of school in 9th grade, completed their GED at age 21, and now has a Master’s degree Worked three jobs as a single mom to get through nursing school Has been sober for 10 years Rode Space Mountain 14 times in a row without getting sick! https://longtrailpsychiatry.com/esketamine daily 0.75 2024-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/0c925fe6-e72a-4e59-8791-0f45e8319a52/spravato_logo_r_c3r_rgb.jpg https://longtrailpsychiatry.com/kap daily 0.75 2026-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/1713293574019-78IWNBTN3H9W3B7SWXUH/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/1713293678002-50EXY1YHUHQLQFBU5SY7/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/1713293723390-N5EO7RQV4UQWFO6W55A7/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/1773258078330-JYABH9PXEO2PVSKQEMKA/unsplash-image-cqZpNjvSyyo.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/1773258008687-2CSEPIVOGRP1FSEW4UKZ/unsplash-image-lWWGfc03DN8.jpg https://longtrailpsychiatry.com/about-our-practice daily 0.75 2024-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/e3a1c2ad-4974-4101-91c5-63ade1522b03/lotus.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/e3a1c2ad-4974-4101-91c5-63ade1522b03/lotus.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/e3a1c2ad-4974-4101-91c5-63ade1522b03/lotus.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/ecab6a33-36ba-45df-93ae-bf028f219661/Screenshot+2024-09-11+191045.png https://longtrailpsychiatry.com/about-courtney daily 0.75 2024-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/3c0db1e3-9570-47bf-b528-ffd7eca68d66/IMG_3254.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/e7963b66-78c8-4d77-a1d7-e62ce159edef/IMG_3300+%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/3007a79a-53fe-4b6e-bd1b-a498d48469e7/IMG_9416.jpg https://longtrailpsychiatry.com/about-lindsey daily 0.75 2025-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/2347a4ce-c003-4d8d-8976-3f86ee94a7b5/IMG_1858.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/6cd03d86-b0b9-47b0-ae82-b5e642fa567a/IMG_5197.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/5013a3c2-fe39-47ad-8f48-1c452287f48e/IMG_0038.jpeg https://longtrailpsychiatry.com/about-dustin daily 0.75 2025-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/a9fe9cb7-519c-4233-b4a6-7259720f62f6/IMG_7868.jpeg About Dustin I am originally from Wisconsin, though I grew up without the usual education in deer hunting or American football. During my undergraduate career at the UW-Madison, I traveled to England for a year to finish my psychology degree. After which time I was bitten by a travel bug that led me to teach in South and Central America where I taught English to children and decided on a career in medicine. I moved back to the US, studied Buddhism and began my journey to medicine at the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, OR. I studied there for two years before deciding that I wanted to gain the knowledge and credentials of an MD physician. I moved to the island nation of Dominica and attended Ross University, where I split my first two years between Dominica and Grand Bahama. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/11d30e4f-2fb3-4d82-9809-18f4c7571638/IMG_8260.jpeg About Dustin Along the path of years 3 and 4 in med school, I completed clerkships all over the United States, including a year in Danbury, CT, where I came to know UVM through its medical students. I also did clerkships at the Mayo Clinic for child psychiatry and with Patch Adams on his farm in West Virginia. I finished my educational journey in Vermont where I found love and made a family. Then moved back to my home state of Wisconsin for my first job as an attending psychiatrist and first real taste of working high volume care as a conventional board certified psychiatrist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb870a5c20ad074c5dabdf1/8b94e5dd-2824-4ac9-8ed4-7ca6c730f54b/IMG_8791.jpeg About Dustin I then made the leap to study psychedelics in mental health. I completed training in using ketamine therapy and started the MAPS MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy training program in Colorado. Although FDA approvals for psychedelics have been lagging, it remains a professional interest of mine and I am hopeful that the future of mental health care can be better informed by the research which continues to be done. Since 2020 I have worked in private practice and as a contractor doing telemedicine across the country. I collaborate with independent practices owned by physician assistants. I have recently transitioned to working remotely as an inpatient psychiatrist at the Brattleboro Retreat. I bring all of this education into the room with me when I meet with clients and try to discover the best way to help them move forward from their starting point. I do my best to meet people where they are coming from and promote positive change.
