Therapy is a sanctuary, and you deserve a safe place to tell your story. I am a Clinical Psychologist with 20 years of experience treating adults with a variety of mental health needs.

Clients I treat may have frequent anxiety, worry, phobias or panic attacks. They may avoid leaving homes and/or be especially nervous in social situations. I also treat adults with depression, loneliness, self-esteem issues, grief and trauma histories. I treat adult children of abusive/toxic parents, older adults coping with age-related stressors and caregivers of older adults. I also treat adults with personality disorders such as Borderline Personality Disorder.

You don’t have to keep repeating the same painful patterns. As a licensed trauma and addiction therapist, I help individuals uncover the emotional wounds and subconscious beliefs that drive anxiety, depression, and self-defeating behaviors. Healing begins when we understand—not judge—why we do what we do.

I specialize in trauma recovery, addiction treatment, and emotional regulation, helping clients build healthier relationships with themselves and others. Whether you’re navigating PTSD, anxiety, codependency, or recovery from substance use, my goal is to help you move from survival mode into authentic healing and growth.

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 promote the healthy development of children, adolescents, adults and families.
