ABOUT ME
.jpg)
Welcome to Mommies In Mind. I am Sara Langley, a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in children and adolescents with brain based medical conditions.
I am founder and co-owner of ChildKind Integrative Psychiatry, a Los Angeles based Integrative Psychiatry practice providing medication management for children with mental health concerns.
I specialize in both traditional medicine as well as CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) and work with children and their mothers to co-create a treatment plans that are responsive to the changing needs of the children, respectful of family values and compassionate to how incredibly challenging brain based medical conditions can be.
My goal is to reach as many mothers as possible providing know how, insight and no nonsense advice regarding their children's brain based medical conditions. It's my honor to be your guide!
Educational Background
I am a graduate of the Columbia University School of Nursing, class of 2014. I gained my Post Master’s certificate in Psychiatric Mental health Nursing from UCSF and completed a Fellowship with UCI in Primary Care Psychiatry.
Approach to Maternal Empowerment
As a Mom and Nurse Practitioner, I found navigating the healthcare system with my toddler frustrating and overwhelming.
Researching his condition on my own sent me down never ending rabbit holes, and still my questions were never truly answered by the conflicting evidence I found.
The goal of this site is to give mothers the space and time to learn about diagnoses and treatment options for their children.
As it stands, the heath care system does not fully support mothers in their quest for empowerment and advocacy.
Fifteen minute appointments do not set the stage for active learning or productive discussions with healthcare providers.
You are sent up the creek without a paddle, so let me show you how to build your motor.
