Britt Bailey
Hello, I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or life transitions. Clients typically come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck in repeating patterns, or disconnected from themselves.
With a diverse clinical background and years of experience, I offer a comprehensive and in-depth perspective on personal development and psychological flexibility. I bring both insight and practical tools to our work together.
I provide a structured, collaborative approach rooted in evidence-based care, combining psychodynamic insight with practical, values-driven tools. The goal is to identify the root causes of what you're facing while building emotional regulation, awareness, and expression skills, helping you respond more effectively to escalated emotions and improve your relationships with yourself and others.
First session
Our initial session will serve as a comprehensive intake, allowing us to build rapport and gather the necessary information to align my clinical approach with your specific needs and goals.
Strengths
During sessions we will work together to address both current issues and their origins, for lasting change. I use a unique blend of psychodynamic methods alongside practical ACT tools, focusing on building concrete skills for emotional regulation, self-exploration, sense of self, and self-trust, rather than discussion alone.
Ideal clients
I work best with adults who are seeking to move beyond surface level symptom management and toward a deeper understanding of themselves. My ideal clients are often navigating life transitions, self-doubt, or patterns of emotional dysregulation. They are typically motivated by a desire for greater self awareness and ready to engage in the collaborative work of bridging past insights with present change. Whether you are looking to strengthen your sense of Self or improve the quality of your interpersonal relationships, I offer a space for profound and purposeful growth.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you stop fighting against your difficult thoughts and feelings. Instead of trying to 'fix' or eliminate anxiety and stress, we work together to build 'psychological flexibility.' My goal is to help you clarify what truly matters to you and take meaningful steps toward a rich, fulfilling life, even in the presence of challenges.
Psychodynamic
During our work together, we will address your immediate, present day concerns while exploring the deeper roots of your struggles through a Psychodynamic approach This means looking beyond surface level symptoms to examine early life experiences and recurring relationship patterns, uncovering how your past may be subconsciously influencing your current life to allow for long-term healing and a more authentic sense of self. To support this journey, I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you develop psychological flexibility and stop the struggle with difficult emotion. By combining deep insight with actionable strategies, we will work toward a life of greater vitality, purpose, and clarity
Humanistic
I believe that you are the expert on your life, and my role is to provide a non judgmental, empathetic space where you can process. My approach is grounded in a Humanistic philosophy, prioritizing our therapeutic relationship and your inherent capacity for growth and self-actualization. While we will utilize a Psychodynamic approach to understand how your past influences your present and apply practical tools from ACT and CBT to navigate current challenges, the foundation of our work is rooted in the 'here and now.' I view you as a whole person rather than a set of symptoms, and together we will work to uncover your strengths, honor your unique experiences, and foster the self-compassion necessary for lasting change.
