Bailey Armstead

My communication style

I am a very open and engaging clinician. I really enjoy an approach that helps the client to feel as if they are simply coming to speak with someone they feel safe to engage with each week. I work to ensure the environment is non-judgmental and empathetic with honesty and authenticity in my sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to psychology at a young age, I knew when I was a teen that I wanted to work in psychology and with others, but it wasn't until I began working as a counselor in my early 20's that shaped and paved the way to become a therapist.

My goals for you

Treatment goals are a dance between myself and the client. I want to work side by side with my clients to ensure their goals are realistic and approachable to complete each session and also outside of session. Treatment goals should be tailored to the client and should be achievable, meeting the client where they are at.

Our first session

My first session is always about establishing safety, getting to know my client's history and getting to know what they want to work on with their goals in therapy. I often engage in history taking to better understand my clients, their background, family dynamics and overall reasoning for coming to therapy.
