My name is Tamaya Bailey and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker residing in Texas. As a USAF Veteran, I am prepared to support clients managing trauma, active, or retired military personnel. My client focus is adults, mothers, parents, and couples. I like to consider myself a "mom advocate", advocating for mothers who wear multiple hats in their lives.
The first session is our "get to know each other session". I like to know what is bringing clients into therapy, and getting to know more about them. I also tell clients about myself as a clinician. By the end of our sessions, I want to clients to leave feeling comfortable with a sense of relief.
My greatest strength as a provider is having an empathetic, approach that creates an environment for my clients to feel comfortable showing up how they are.
I have 3 years experience with ACT, and I utilize ACT to assist clients with anxiety and depression to help my clients live a rich and meaningful life
I Utilize CBT to assist clients with anxiety and depression to assist with thinking errors that exacerbate anxiety
I like to utilize DBT skills to help clients with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and helping clients communicate better in their relationships
I utilize EMDR in session to assist clients with processing traumatic events
help clients strengthen the coping skills that they have used that have shown being effective in helping the clients problems solve or manage feelings of anxiety and depression
