I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. I have over 7 years of post graduate experience working with individuals and couples.

I am Rebecca Bailey, LICSW, I'm here to empower you to live your best life, to support you every step of your journey. I specialize in helping adults improve their self-esteem, cope with challenges, recover from grief, loss, anxiety, depression, relationship traumas and other traumas.

With my Masters in Social Work from the University of WA and over 40 years of experience in Washington's health and mental health settings, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice.

After receiving my Master's of Social work degree from Eastern Washington University, I worked in behavioral healthcare settings to help children, teens, and adults work through a variety of difficulties. As a licensed independent clinical social worker, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate the challenges that life throws their way. I’m passionate about working with teens/young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions.

I have over 10 years of experience as a social worker assisting those with chronic mental health struggles. I specialize in anxiety, OCD & phobias, mood disorders and general work with adults experiencing challenging life stressors, change or loss. No matter what life stage you are in, therapy can help you cope and learn to thrive.

We all have experiences in life that might leave us feeling broken or disconnected with ourselves, others, in relationships, and the world around us. I believe that healing and wholeness can belong to all of us. If you are looking for someone to support you on your journey toward wellness and restoration, allow me to accompany you on the road that can often feel isolating when taken alone. The therapeutic relationship is paramount to me!

I believe in our capacity to adapt, grow, love, grieve, overcome & thrive. Stressful events, trauma, loss, illness & change can overwhelm our ability to cope. We become stuck. We protect ourselves to avoid ever feeling that pain again. Solutions that once worked become part of the problem. When the wound is triggered, we experience pain & distorted ways of thinking. In therapy, we journey together to uncover & remove blocks to healing, transforming pain & loss into meaning, awareness & choice.

I approach my work with warmth, energy, and an open mind, creating a therapeutic space where clients can feel safe, supported, and understood. With over 15 years of nursing experience, I combine clinical expertise with genuine compassion to guide individuals through challenges such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD. My mission is to foster trust, collaboration, and meaningful progress for every client who walks through my door.
