LCSW, 13 years of experience
My name is Jennifer Bailey, I am a licensed clinical social worker and registered drama therapist. I support my clients in their desire to identify and achieve goals that allow them to live a life that brings them pride and contentment. Now you may be thinking “What in the world is Registered Drama Therapist (RDT)”? An RDT is a clinician that uses components of theater and drama to assist in making therapeutic changes. What this means is you have a choice. You could come to session and talk through what’s been going on with you, the emotions you are feeling or the goals you want to accomplish. Or you could come to session and create some art, express yourself through written word, enact the scenario where you said that thing you should have said in that one conversation that is replaying in your head. You could role play saying that comment that you thought of after the fact. Traditional psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, is a brilliant way to gain understanding and accomplish your goals. However, there are times that maybe, talking it through just isn’t enough, maybe a movement, a sound, a song or picture helps you express and comprehend what’s going on inside you. Whatever you decide, in your session with me, you have a choice. I would be honored to help you, whether it be through helping you accomplish your goals, explore your thoughts and feelings or make positive and productive changes to your life. I hope to hear from you soon. If you would like to learn more about me, check out my website: https://baileyclinicalservices.com
In our first session we will spend time getting to know each other. I would like to know what brought you to therapy, your likes, dislikes and how I can be most helpful to you. From there, we will work together to create a plan for how to help you achieve the goals that you have for yourself.
I have over a decade of experience in being able to establish a safe and comforting space for my clients to be vulnerable. I've helped clients break down their goals into smaller steps to make them feel attainable. I embrace creativity, using it to help clients explore and understand their thoughts and feelings.
I enjoy working with individuals who enjoy a combination of traditional "talk therapy" along with experiential exercises. I am the kind of therapist who can help make sessions an engaging and exploratory experience through creative interventions.
As a registered drama therapist, I have used role plays, puppets, scene work and other experiential activities to help clients explore their thoughts, feelings and interpersonal relationships.
