Amanda Bailey

I have been a licensed social worker since 2015, and I have been a practicing psychotherapist since 2022. I particularly love working with couples. I have an immense passion for empowering and supporting those in need, and I am most guided by the ethical principle of respecting the worth and dignity of each person. I was involved in adoption social work for about 8 and a half years, and it was a pleasure to counsel birth parents and adoptive parents through trauma, grief, and loss.

Despite what anyone else may tell you, the truth is that it takes a lot of courage to admit when you need help. Regardless of what the problem is, you deserve to be heard, and therapy can be a gift that helps you to be heard. It can also serve as a comforting experience that no person could ever take away from you. Change is difficult... this is true. I can be your guide as you untangle the undesirable or unpleasant pieces of your life and replace them with hope, stability, and even more.

My approach to therapy is highly individualized. There will never be another person like you on this planet, and no movie or story or diagnosis could ever capture the experiences you have had in your life. I work from a strengths-based perspective, and I utilize humanistic and person-centered techniques to ensure we are addressing your specific issues. I will follow your lead when we talk about your goals and progress, and I will always be honest with you in giving my professional opinion.
