Lori Allen is a licensed psychotherapist and certified perinatal mental health specialist who helps women and parents navigate the emotional rollercoaster of motherhood and parenting. She specializes in working with:

  • Parents of anxious children

  • Moms struggling with anxiety and "mom rage"

  • Women dealing with pelvic organ prolapse and other body-based changes after birth

  • Mothers facing challenges in pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause

Lori is passionate about helping women move from overwhelm and self-doubt to confidence and clarity. Whether you're parenting an anxious child, navigating big feelings of your own, or healing from the physical and emotional impacts of birth, Lori is here to help you find your footing and feel like yourself again.

With a master’s in Psychology and Art Therapy, advanced training in crisis response, and real-life experience as a mom of three, Lori brings compassion, expertise, and a deep understanding of the mental load mothers carry.

In her free time, you can find her volunteering at her kids school, making art (she loves weaving and pottery) or traveling with her family.
