Brittany Albright MD, MPH is a Harvard trained, board certified adult psychiatrist with a long standing interest in the complexities of the human mind and behavior. She began her training in biology and sociology as an undergraduate at one of the top academic undergraduate schools in the country, Emory University. Dr. Albright's passion for psychiatry further developed as a medical student at the University of New Mexico, where she obtained her medical degree and a master’s degree in public health. She was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society representing the top 25% of her medical school class.

Dr. Albright completed psychiatric training at the number one adult psychiatry residency in the country, Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital/McLean Hospital. While in training, her interest in combined psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacologic treatments deepened. Her patients taught her the value of individualized assessment and need for specified treatment based on the uniqueness of the individual’s psychology. As a result, Dr. Albright sought advanced training and supervision in a variety of psychotherapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, Mentalization Based Psychotherapy, Good Psychiatric Management for Borderline Personality Disorder, and Motivational Interviewing. Moreover, Dr. Albright served as Chief Resident of Addiction Psychiatry at MGH/McLean whereby she pursued training in combined medication and psychotherapy treatment of individuals with substance use disorders. After residency, she completed fellowship training specializing in addiction psychiatry at the Medical University of South Carolina.

Dr. Albright completed her Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation certification in May 2022 and earned her psychedelic assisted psychotherapy certification in October 2023. She is committed to staying updated on scientific research and offering the latest, most effective treatments to her patients.

Dr. Albright has had a very active research career, presenting 20 different research projects at national scientific meetings and publishing 16 manuscripts in national medical journals.

Dr. Albright is also a national speaker and healthcare consultant, giving talks around the country to teach clinicians about new treatment options in psychiatry. She also mentors graduate therapy interns and healthcare graduate students in her role as a Medical University of South Carolina Affiliate Assistant Professor.

Dr. Albright’s goal is to provide high quality, collaborative patient-centered care, supporting and advocating for her patients, offering a variety of evidence-based treatment options, and only using medications when necessary. This inspired her to establish Sweetgrass Psychiatry in 2018 because she felt that her patients deserved only the best treatment. She treats a wide range of patients from diverse backgrounds and ages 14+. She believes in treating psychiatric disorders using a multi modal approach based on the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual model.
