Hello, its pleasure to meet you. Sometimes we need someone to talk to or with about things that may bother us. Often times, we think we can resolve problems on our own but over time, we realize we need a professional to help us. I am the perfect stranger, we can meet in a safe environment and our conversations will remain confidential.

I am a licensed professional counselor and I have worked in this field for over 20 years. I received my Masters at Howard University in Washington, DC. , in counseling and have also received additional training at Catholic University. I am a nationally certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors.

I use several therapies to help my clients depending on what their needs are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Person-Centered therapy and Eclectic Therapy.

Ashley White

Therapist

Virtual • Pikesville, MD


With over seven years of experience as a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions, depression, anxiety, and grief while guiding them toward emotional balance, purpose, and healing. My holistic approach integrates the mind, body, and spirit—helping clients strengthen their overall well-being through healthy routines, daily grounding practices, and mindset transformation.

In my work, I help clients build stronger relationships in friendships, family, and marriage through forgiveness-based therapy, improved communication, and self-awareness. I believe that healing within relationships begins with grace—for oneself and others—and that intentional connection is a vital part of personal growth.

Through individual therapy and group therapeutic retreats, I create spaces where people can reflect, release, and rebuild. My goal is to help each client develop coping tools, nurturing habits, and a renewed sense of peace that supports their transformation both personally and relationally.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Baltimore

Finding postpartum therapists in Baltimore starts with looking for someone whose training matches the kind of support you want. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some therapists also support people during pregnancy, after loss, or through changes in family roles. As you compare options, look for therapists who list perinatal mental health, postpartum depression therapy, postpartum depression counseling, or a PMH-C credential in their profile, which can signal specialized training in perinatal care.

Baltimore has a broad mental health care community, and the number of options can make it harder to narrow your search. Location may matter if you prefer in-person sessions near neighborhoods like Federal Hill, Hampden, or Mount Vernon, or close to work, transit, or home. Virtual care can also make therapy more practical for new parents managing infant care, physical recovery, and changing schedules. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for availability, therapy approach, session style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation, so you can choose someone who fits your needs and schedule.

Therapy in Baltimore can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists in Baltimore who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. Headway accepts a wide range of insurance plans nationally, and you can enter your plan details to confirm coverage for your area — making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your insurance, and is ready to see new patients.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
