Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), IL | Karen Bailey

I am relational in my therapeutic approach and use different methods to best meet the needs of each person. I stress the concept of hope and that we can learn new strategies to change and grow, no matter how stuck we may feel.
I focus on helping people discover their strengths and find resources to begin changing what isn’t working in order to improve relationships and feel better about life!
I specialize in working with people who have experienced trauma and those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, adjustment issues (such as graduation, relational problems, etc.), bipolar disorder and personality disorders.
