If you're carrying grief, trauma, anxiety, or the weight of trying to hold everything together, you don't have to keep doing it alone. A few years ago, I knew I had to fully embrace the work I was built for. Helping individuals, families, and whole communities navigate what feels impossible is what drives me, and that shows up in every session. I'm Gloria Bailey, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and licensed clinical addiction specialist (LCASa) with nearly a decade of experience in trauma, PTSD, grief, substance use, crisis intervention, and more. I bring a supportive, non-judgmental space where we move at your pace. When you're ready to take that next step, I'd be glad to walk alongside you.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate the overwhelming waves of anxiety, depression, everyday stress management, and the deep complexities of grief or loss. Together, we will also use a supportive, trauma-informed lens to safely process PTSD and find healthier paths through substance use and addiction. My ultimate goal is to walk alongside you with an open heart and compassionate perspective.
I show up as a genuine, non‐judgmental person first and a clinician second. My passion for this work comes from having someone who once offered me the space to talk, heal, and grow—and I believe everyone deserves that same space.
