Amanda Bailey, TX LCSW 60865

I am a clinical Social Worker licensed in Texas with over 6 years of experience working in clinical practice and almost 20 years of experience working in the mental health field. I work with clients who experience a wide range of symptoms and concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, grief, stress, ADHD, and other developmental issues. I specialize in working with couples and adults experiencing problems with infidelity, emotional regulation, family dysfunction, communication, life transitions, and trauma.

My approach to therapy is highly individualized. There will never be another person like you on this planet, and no movie or story or diagnosis could ever capture the experiences you have had in your life. I am fascinated by human experience, and I would love to know yours so I can help you move forward in the most meaningful and productive way possible. I work from a strengths-based perspective, and I utilize humanistic and person-centered techniques in therapy to ensure we are addressing your specific experiences. I will follow your lead when we talk about your goals and progress in therapy, and I will always be honest with you.

Let’s face it… life is hard, and sometimes we simply do not have the answers to our problems. Despite what anyone else may tell you, the truth is that it takes a lot of courage to admit when you need help. Making the decision to seek therapy is the first step to being mindful of your capacity for change, and I applaud you. As a therapist, it is my job to provide you with an atmosphere where you feel safe to be completely honest, genuine, and vulnerable about who you are and what you want and need without fear of judgment or disapproval. Trust is vital. I sincerely believe that in any context, when a person is willing to risk sharing deeply personal information with another, that person deserves to know that information is sacred and confidential.

I look forward to working with you!
