I am a Richmond-based licensed professional counselor with more than 20-years of experience working with individuals and families in community mental health settings and the military. As a proud military retiree, I have a passion for military members and understand their unique culture and stressors. I have worked extensively with individuals with developmental disabilities and physical disabilities. I am passionate about helping people work through challenging life issues that have been impacted by trauma, marginalization, and lack of autonomy. I have experience with depression, PTSD, anxiety, attachment issues, chronic stress, and ADHD. I have been trained extensively in Somatic Experiencing (SE), which is a trauma modality that supports the gentle release of bound trauma in the nervous system. Through body-based interventions, I can support and release nervous system patterning to assist in resolving symptoms of trauma. SE is effective for the treatment of chronic stress and pain, anxiety, hypervigilance, depression, ADHD, early attachment problems, and body awareness. I am also skilled with using bottom-up regulation strategies using expressive arts and play to assist with issues that are more prone to be relieved through right brain processes, versus traditional cognitive models of therapy. I have a sincere belief that therapy is a guide to be used to help the individual reach the answers to their own healing and I gain satisfaction in partnering in the journey toward that healing and self-discovery.

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 addition, I assist individuals with relational issues. Relationships are a huge part of our lives, so learning how to effectively communicate and set boundaries can help take our relationships to the next level. Throughout our sessions, I take a person-centered and holistic approach to mental health. We will incorporate mindfulness in addition to coping skills that best work for you! I understand starting therapy can be scary. I’ll meet you where you are emotionally with compassion and utilize evidence-based techniques to help you reach your goals!

First off, congratulations on taking the steps to get here. Welcome! Navigating life can be hard at times, and our problems can seem overwhelming when we are facing them alone. We can be mired down in negative thoughts, feelings and behaviors, or caught in a repetitive unhealthy coping loop. These can make it difficult to manage our daily lives and relationships. Anxiety, depression, past trauma, addiction and inadequate sleep can further impede our ability to find balance and a sense of peace. My goal, as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), with over 8 years of experience, is to provide you with a place to be heard and validated. This is your place to work through your problems and find solutions or perhaps meet a goal that has seemed out of reach for some time. I look forward to meeting you and helping you move forward.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S). I am licensed in Texas and Virginia. I provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with no judgment. For example, I help adults struggling with career stress, relational challenges, and challenges with productivity (i.e., starting and completing tasks). I also work collaboratively with clients to identify underlying issues, set goals, and develop personalized treatment plans. I guide clients through the process to help build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and foster personal growth.

Whatever challenge you face, you can overcome. This belief is core to my work, learned from a successful career in national and international development. Starting in 2017, I moved into individual and family counseling work to have a more direct impact on changing lives. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I use a combination of thought and actions based skills to help my clients identify, understand, and make change in their lives. A great deal of my work focuses on tapping into the "Authentic Self" - who I am underneath and who I want to become - which naturally lends well to work with adolescents and adults facing periods of upset and change in their lives.

Some of my areas of expertise include helping clients with faith-based issues, relationship conflict, family tension, motivation, self esteem, life transitions & depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started!

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Virginia rather than a city like Richmond?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Virginia from Norfolk to Roanoke! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Virginia.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Depression?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Depression, is filtering therapists in Virginia that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
