Dr. Lauren Marasa

Interventional Psychiatrist

Founder and CEO

Dr. Lauren Marasa is a highly accomplished, double board-certified psychiatrist,

specializing in both interventional and forensic psychiatry. She initially studied biology and Spanish at the University of Alabama where she graduated from the Honors College, Magna Cum Laude. Dr. Marasa then attended the  University of South Carolina School of Medicine where she graduated at the top of her medical school class, Cum Laude. Initially, Dr. Marasa set out to become a neurosurgeon and matched into her first choice of residency in Neurological Surgery at the University of Kentucky Medical Center. However, after two years of neurosurgery training, Dr. Marasa found she craved more time and personal connection with her patients. She decided to change specialties and completed four years of training in general psychiatry, where she went on to serve as Chief Resident. Upon graduating from residency, she then completed a Fellowship in Forensic Psychiatry at the University of California, Davis.

When not in the clinic or in the hospital setting, you will find Dr. Marasa in the

courtroom serving as an expert witness and testifying in a variety of civil and criminal matters related to psychiatry and the law. Dr. Marasa believes the most qualified expert witnesses come from being the finest of psychiatrists. Although Dr. Marasa has presented her work in the fields of interventional and forensic psychiatry at both National and International conferences, Dr. Marasa believes, “No one cares what you know, until they know that you care” and places her patients’ care above all.

Dr. Marasa is open to new patient consultations for those interested in psychiatric interventions including TMS, Spravato, and ECT and specializes in treatment resistant depression and other refractory psychiatric disorders. Dr. Marasa enjoys creating and

implementing personalized treatment plans for each patient as she believes it is

imperative to appropriately tailor the treatment plan for each unique individual.
