Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Philadelphia, PA

If you're navigating the heartbreak of infertility, the overwhelm of new motherhood, or the quiet weight of trying to hold it all together while still feeling like yourself, you're in the right place. I work with women in the seasons of big change that come with this chapter of life: fertility journeys, pregnancy and postpartum, identity shifts, and the kind of stress that doesn't go away when the day ends. My background as a school counselor taught me how to sit with people in the messy parts of their stories and stay calm when emotions feel like too much. I'd be honored to do that work alongside you.

I’m Lauren Albright, MS, LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and experience working with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, relationship stress, and self-worth challenges. I am also the founder of Beauty From Ashes Counseling Services, where my mission is centered on helping individuals move from pain toward healing, growth, and restoration.

I have experience supporting adults facing complex mental health concerns, including neurodivergence, trauma, family conflict, and major life transitions. As someone who values authenticity and compassion, I strive to create a space where clients feel understood, supported, and hopeful about change.

I believe healing is possible, and you don’t have to carry everything alone.

Hey there! I’m a licensed clinical social worker with experience providing both group and individual therapy. My background includes work in addiction, mental health, and crisis intervention. I’ve had the privilege of supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and families as they navigate life’s challenges and build healthier connections.

You may be used to being the strong one—the person others rely on—but lately you might feel overwhelmed, anxious, or just not like yourself. You may be dealing with depression, relationship challenges, or a life transition that’s left you feeling stuck. If you’re tired of just getting through the day and want to feel more like yourself again, therapy can help. I work with adults across all life stages who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, and major life changes.

I am a passionate clinician who sees each client as a person with individual needs, wants, and goals. I have experience working with mood, adjustment and anxiety disorders, as well as co-occurring disorder and individuals struggling with interpersonal issues.

I’m deeply committed to providing nonjudgmental, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed care. I understand that mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I take the time to listen, learn, and adapt to what works best for you.

I don’t expect perfection — I expect real people, with real experiences, showing up as they are. I bring not only clinical expertise but also lived understanding of how layered and complex healing can be. You’ll never have to shrink or code-switch in my care — your story, identity, and truth are all welcome here.
