Tortoise Mental Health

“I've been a patient of Lauren Connelly for almost seven years. Her clinical insight and genuine compassion have had a profound impact on my mental health. I feel like she truly has changed my life. I would STRONGLY recommend her to anyone seeking a psychiatric provider. Lauren is highly knowledgeable when managing medications and genuinely listens to how I feel during each appointment. I've never felt rushed or dismissed.... she actively engages, asks meaningful questions, and provides well considered guidance.”

“As a therapist, I’m so grateful to have Lauren at Tortoise Mental Health to refer my clients to for psychiatry care. Every time I send someone her way, I hear the same thing- they feel truly listened to, never rushed, and so comfortable opening up. Lauren has a gift for helping people feel educated and empowered in their decisions instead of overwhelmed. It means so much to know my clients are in such good hands. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Lauren is AMAZING! I have rarely ever had a medical provider who listens to me and takes her time like Lauren does. She always asks, "what else?" even if we've already been talking for ages because she wants to be sure she is taking care of everything. She is very knowledgeable and has a variety of tricks up her sleeve, even when a lot of meds haven't worked in the past. I have followed Lauren to three different offices now, so you can tell she's a gem. I could not possibly recommend her more!”

“Lauren has been my provider for a few years now. I feel so lucky to have her on my side. She also listens to me, provides me with options and has helped me navigate many ups and downs in my life. I am forever grateful for all the help she’s been to me.”
