Lori Lang

Lic. Advanced Practice Reg. Nurse APRN

Lori is a nurse practitioner providing medication management for clients at Positive Directions. She believes strongly in practicing kindness every day as well as making patients better and not worse with medical interventions.

Prior to joining Positive Directions, she had many years of experience treating patients with blood cancers. During this time, she became increasingly comfortable managing not only the physical, but mental health and emotional concerns of this chronically- ill population. This experience of patients

facing life and death under her care led to a fascination with the psychiatric component of medicine.

In 2022, she made the decision to transition into caring for patients with co-occurring disorders in a residential substance use facility. She very much enjoys working with this patient population.

In her spare time, she enjoys reading and gardening.
