Alex Bailey

Alex Bailey

Therapist

Virtual • Pasadena, CA


I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats

I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.

Victoria Bousheri

Therapist

Virtual • California


Clients should know that I am a safe space and an open-minded person. The experiences I have gone through have introduced me to various spaces, people, and situations. I have been heartened many times to hear that I am a place where people can come to talk things through.

My personal values revolve around creating a life that balances modern realities with natural requirements. I like to respect my body’s natural pace and find ways to align that with the daily demands I choose to take on. This includes spending time in nature, enjoying time with my dog, making time for friends, and ensuring there is time to do nothing. I am passionate about sustainability, and respecting the land, its creatures, and fellow humans.

I’m someone who truly listens and strives to meet each person exactly where they are. My style is adaptive, reflective, and flexible. I bring authenticity, compassion, and a good sense of humor into my work because I believe that laughter and honesty can be just as healing as insight. I was inspired to become a therapist by my own desire for the kind of support I would have wanted, and I aim to offer that same understanding and care to my clients. People often describe me as warm, genuine, and empowering. I am someone who helps them feel deeply heard and supported while encouraging growth in meaningful ways.
