Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Erie, PA

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and clinically grounded environment for individuals and families navigating life’s most difficult challenges. Since earning my Master’s Degree in Social Work in 2004, I have spent over 15 years helping people move from places of uncertainty and pain toward clarity, resilience, and confidence.

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.

My personal philosophy is that the most important person is the one in front of you. You will have my complete attention to respect that bond. My work is collaborative: I’ll meet you where you are, but I won’t work harder than you. Growth requires your effort, and I’ll be there to help you stay grounded and focused on your goals.

Welcome to therapy! My name is Diomarys Nuñez, I am a bilingual, Dominican Licensed Professional Counselor. I obtained my Masters in Clinical Counseling in 2020. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings, in both rural and urban settings, with individuals from across the lifespan. I specialize in maternal/perinatal mental health, women's issues, and racial/cultural trauma, along with other mental health challenges.

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.

What is your approach to therapy?

I believe that therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative partnership tailored to your unique story. My style is warm, holistic, and integrative. Because I am trained in both Clinical Social Work and Christian Theology (Masters of Divinity), I view health through a wide lens—considering not just your thoughts and behaviors, but also your values, your community, and the physical way your body carries stress.

My goal is to help you move from a place of "just getting by" to a place where you feel grounded, resilient, and authentically yourself.

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.
