Make an Appointment or Referral Specialties Depression, Relational Difficulties, Anxiety, Bipolar, Grief and Loss Whether it be a significant life change, relational difficulties, feeling like we aren’t where we are “supposed to be” in life, or the loss of a loved one, there are many unexpected events that cause us to feel “stuck.” My job as a therapist is help you get “unstuck” by aiding you in better understanding the underlying factors contributing to these difficulties, and the changes you can make to better manage them. This includes exploration of the thoughts, emotions, and interpersonal relationships surrounding them. Part of the reason for my focus on relationships is that I am certified in Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), an approach that focuses on the role of interpersonal issues in psychological distress. The evidence for IPT supports its use for treating concerns related to anxiety and depression, and is of course, helpful in building or repairing relationships.

Make an Appointment or Referral Specialties Mood disorders, Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Sleep Problems, Grief, Divorce Recovery, Anger Management, PTSD, Social Anxiety, Impulse Control, Self Esteem If you are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions or self esteem issues and you are looking for a psychotherapist that accepts MEDICARE, you have come to the right place. In my 15 years of Clinical Psychology I have developed a powerful process called “subconscious reprogramming.” It is based on the principle that your symptoms are the result of subconscious self limiting beliefs. We work together to release your subconscious beliefs, like “I’m not good enough” or “I don’t have what it takes” so that you are to enjoy a life of well being, optimal health, and increased confidence. I have adapted a unique and integrative approach to therapy. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, I believe your ideal therapy is as unique as you are. I offer a safe and connected place to be able to unpack your issues with a trained, warm, compassionate therapist. Team Page Continue Dr. Darena Bailey, PhD Continue
