Dr. Laura Clevenger, N.D.
One of my earliest memories dates back to when I was a child and a family member shared her experience with miscarriage. Even after all this time, I vividly recall the tears, pain, and shame on her face. This memory is one of the driving forces behind my desire to pursue a residency under the mentorship of Dr. Stefani Hayes and specialize in female health and fertility care. I am committed to creating a safe environment where ALL patients can openly navigate the challenges of feeling unwell. Normalizing patient experiences extends beyond the clinic and is fundamental in all aspects of my life as a daughter, sister, wife and friend.
Providing this kind of holistic care requires a balance of problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence. This confluence is where I thrive. With additional training in craniosacral therapy, abdominal therapy, and neural therapy, I value the healing power of physical touch and appreciate the importance of incorporating bodywork into patient care. I also love to analyze lab work and use lifestyle changes, nutrition, botanical medicine, UNDA biotherapeutic drainage, and targeted supplements when appropriate.

I completed my Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine at the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon after my own journey with chronic illness. I intimately know the difficulties of navigating the medical system and how overwhelming, lonely, and confusing it can be. I aim to make each patient feel held and safe as they navigate the care they need. Before medical school, I received my B.S. in Public Health at New York University and was a researcher at NYU Langone Medical Center.
Outside of the clinic I spend most of my time being active in nature, whether it be trail running, climbing, skiing, or cycling. After a fun day outside, I enjoy being curled up on the couch with a good book, my kittens, and my husband.
