Horace Bailey
I am Horace Bailey, III. MRC, LPC. I am a proud US ARMY Veteran and a 16-year clinician who believes in trustworthiness and accountability, with a little humor thrown in, because laughter and fun are good medicine. I have worked with all age ranges and all types of mental health diagnoses, including survivors of trauma, and completed additional training in the major areas of my therapeutic approach, including Trauma Focused Therapeutic training as well Cognitive Behavioral Therapy training. While I am primarily a solution and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapist, I feel that the driving change that can be implemented in any client's life starts with them. It is the therapist’s job to aid clients in realizing their own potential, but that starts with the therapist demonstrating openness, caring and trustworthiness, and those things help the client realize that their thoughts, feelings and behaviors are all linked and need to be used simultaneously to implement real change. I am a firm believer in working with clients to create measurable and quantifiable goals that are short term but build to long term goals and progress. This approach I have seen helps clients realize that they are doing the work, not the therapist, and that they can achieve small things that add up to long term results and progress, and they can chart their own progress over time, which, in my 16 years of doing therapy, I have seen; gives clients a sense of independence and empowerment.
