It’s hard to be a human, but we don’t have to do it alone. Holding an LPC license and a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling, Bailey is a relational therapist who leads with the idea of, ‘if it’s important to you, it’s important’. Therapy is not a one size fits all approach, and Bailey tailors her work to meet you where you are, walk alongside you and build genuine, authentic, real, therapeutic relationships. Throughout her journey in the field, Bailey is grounded in her experience working in mental health case management, teaching at Indiana University, facilitating programs at the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life and incorporates her experience in the way she seeks to understand, explore, challenge and recognize areas of stress and also resilience that her clients navigate. Using a curated blend of EMDR, ACT, CBT, polyvagal and relational therapy, Bailey specializes in work with young adults, college students, young women, educators/teachers and aspiring therapists/helping professionals to process identity building, boundary setting, relationship dynamics, trauma, anxiety, depression and adjustment to life transitions. Many things can be true at the same time, and Bailey is ready to walk with you to hold life’s many feelings. Bailey believes that therapy is not a ‘one size fits all' approach. She recognizes that the individual is the expert in their own life, and therefore, her approach is to walk alongside each person to provide a validating, empathic and nonjudgmental space for care. With that, Bailey tailors each session to the individual’s goals while leaning into various modalities and training that may include: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Polyvagal Therapy, and/or Mindfulness and Person Centered therapy. Life and our experiences are all relative, and Bailey values the idea of, ‘if it's important to you, it's important’. Therefore, it is vital to hold space to work through life’s various coexisting moving parts in support of our overall wellness.

I work with folks looking to understand their own identity. Whether that be in relation to themself or others. Balancing life as an emerging adult while being a college student can be overwhelming. I specialize in working with folks who are queer, trans, gender expansive, and neurodivergent. I am trained in a trauma therapy called EMDR, which can help people who have experienced traumatic events to find healing. I support folks in finding skills for regulating their emotions, sitting in the discomfort of hard feelings, and being more present in their day to day life.

At New Growth, therapy is more than talk — it’s a return to your natural rhythm.

Let’s find the path forward together — one that feels steady, grounded, and uniquely yours.

Brene Brown says that shame can only exist in a vacuum – real healing comes from sharing, connecting, and being met with total acceptance towards whatever is causing you pain or holding you back. Whatever brings you to seek therapy, I’ll meet you there with warmth, compassion, laughter, and a promise to see the you who exists beyond the struggles and pain that have brought you to this point. My clients often come to work with me when they’re looking to learn how to navigate times of transition, find ways to cope, and bring joy and purpose back to their lives. My ultimate goal is to meet you right where you are and direct our therapeutic work towards exactly what your healing needs. You might see traces of Acceptance & Commitment therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed Care and good old empathy & connection within our sessions. Together, we’ll find a balance that lights you up – we’ll probably laugh, sometimes cry, maybe cuss a little bit (if that’s your thing) – but ultimately together, we’ll name what’s keeping you stuck, make meaning of the hard, and move forward towards the good.

I then attended the Medical College of Georgia where I obtained my medical degree. After that, I received my psychiatric training at the University of South Florida in Tampa Florida. I perform psychiatric evaluations and formulate treatment plans with input from my patients - no single approach is right for every individual.

Clients often tell me that I'm "real." I think they appreciate my irreverence, my sense of humor, and the fact that, while I'm kind/gentle, I never BS them. In other words, I come to the therapeutic relationship with curiosity, acceptance, and authenticity. Thus, clients are free to experiment with new ways of being, uncovering insights and answers along the way. Clients often tell me that I'm "real."

Lots of people, myself included at times, buy into the notion that beating ourselves up is somehow noble or productive. In our work together, I'll encourage you, rather, to approach your challenges with compassion and inquisitiveness, trusting that you have the resources you need to achieve your goals. If you're ready to explore, I'm eager to listen. Please don't hesitate to reach out!

College life can feel overwhelming—between academics, relationships, and the pressure to “have it all figured out,” it’s easy to feel stuck or anxious.

Feeling swamped with everything on your plate? Between academics, deadlines, relationships, home life, part-time work, studying, and making tough choices, the list feels endless. Sometimes that sense of overwhelm can push you to try harder, or it can make you want to stay in bed all day. Skipping classes, avoiding people, not wanting to bother anyone—these can be signs it’s time to ask for help. I’m here for you, even if you’re unsure, and I hope to offer some guidance and support.

You didn’t end up here because you’re weak, you ended up here because carrying everything alone most likely became too heavy. I work with teens (15+), adults, and couples to break out of patterns around self-esteem, trauma, substance use, and relationships. Therapy with me is warm and honest and I aim to create a space where you feel safe and supported yet challenged to confront what keeps you stuck. I became a therapist because I’ve been on the other side of struggle and I know how powerful it can be to feel truly understood. In particular, I relate well with teens who are struggling with self-esteem, school struggles, and stress related to their future. Please reach out today if you are looking for someone who truly “gets it”.

I approach each problem with curiosity. I seek to offer a warm, genuine, accepting and safe environment to allow my clients to express themselves honestly. I prefer to use a collaborative approach, integrating healing with daily living. I am a mother of two daughters aged 24 and 17. I started my journey toward seeking to serve others more than 30 years ago with an undergraduate degree in Social Work. I had a deep desire to address the challenges associated with cultural adjustment and mental health. To enhance my understanding of culture, I chose to pursue a Master's in Anthropology soon after completing my undergraduate degree. This launched my career into working with new arrival families in a variety of settings. After spending time raising my family, I completed my long term goal of obtaining a counseling degree in 2013. Since then, I have worked in many different settings and with clients from a variety of groups and stages of life, including community based care, inpatient, Intensive Outpatient, Partial Hospitalization, and crisis care and support in a medical setting. I have served both adolescents and adults. At this time in my career, I seek to continue to support adults of all ages and backgrounds.

Over the past eight years I have worked in the mental health field in a variety of capacities, including inpatient units, residential facilities, and day treatment settings. My experience and training with children, adults, and families in these settings has given me a practical knowledge and understanding when working alongside my clients to facilitate change. A significant part of my experience has been working with adults and children coping with past trauma to safely express their anger, manage their depression, and navigate difficult life events. I strive to meet my clients and their families in the circumstances that they are in and make a collaborative effort to overcome the challenges they face. Each client's history, perspective, and relationships are different which is why I believe each therapeutic approach should be unique to the client. In addition to outpatient therapy, I work part time with the social services department at Rogers Behavioral Health. Forming relationships with clients and being witness to their progress and resiliency is something that has been rewarding. Outside of work I enjoy playing ultimate Frisbee, hiking, reading, and swimming.
