Hi, I’m Bailee Soares, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M University–San Antonio and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from California State University, Fresno. I’ve worked with adults from diverse backgrounds—including veterans, active-duty military personnel, and first responders—in residential, inpatient, and outpatient settings.
I work with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, substance use, and major life transitions. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to where you are in your journey. I offer a welcoming, judgment-free space to explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. Using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and ACT, we’ll build coping skills, strengthen emotional regulation, and work toward resilience, self-awareness, and lasting change.
In our first session, we’ll get to know one another, talk about what brings you to counseling and what you hope to gain, and set realistic goals that reflect your needs, strengths, and priorities. I know opening up can feel intimidating, so we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, understood, and more confident about your next steps toward personal growth and emotional well-being.
