Welcome to my practice

Welcome to my practice. Whether you're navigating a difficult season of life or simply feeling stuck, I'm glad you're here. This is a place where you can speak openly, without judgment, and work toward the changes that matter most to you.

Originally from Winnipeg, I spent many years practicing in Houston, Texas, and I recently returned home to establish a practice here.

I take a warm, collaborative approach to therapy, drawing on cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), trauma-informed and existential approaches, and other evidence-based methods to help clients understand themselves more clearly and make lasting changes.

Over my career I have worked with people presenting with a wide variety of difficult issues and mental health concerns. My areas of special interest include therapeutic work around loss and grief, depression, suicide prevention, issues associated with traumatic experiences and life transitions.

How I can help

Grief & Loss

A safe space to process bereavement and the many forms of loss that are part of a full life. I have a special interest in grief work after traumatic deaths, including after suicide or homicide.

Depression & Mood

Individual therapy for low mood, loss of motivation, persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness and other aspects of a depressive episode.

Coping with Trauma and PTSD

Learning to process, manage, and heal from the emotional, physical, and psychological impacts of adverse life experiences. These may include childhood traumas (e.g., physical abuse, sexual abuse, abandonment, death of a sibling or parent, etc.) and adverse experiences during adult life (sexual trauma, serious accidents, physical assault).

Anxiety & Stress

Therapeutic work to manage generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety, and the everyday pressures that can feel unmanageable.

Life Transitions

Navigating major changes - career shifts, relocation, relationship changes, retirement - with clarity and confidence.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer a free initial consultation?

Yes — I offer a brief phone consultation at no charge so we can get a sense of whether working together would be a good fit.

How do I schedule my free initial phone consultation or my first appointment?

You can call my office at 431-688-9692 or email me at: drstevenbailley@gmail.com.

Do you offer virtual sessions as well as in-person sessions?

Yes. In fact, the majority of my clients work with me through telehelath. Telehealth is a very practical and effective way to experience therapy, and I offer virtual sessions (video or phone) to those who would prefer to meet this way. For those who prefer to meet in-person, that option is also available.

What are your fees and do you direct bill insurance?

The fee for a 50-minute individual therapy session is $240.00 and is payable at the time of service. I do not direct bill. However, ask your insurer about your coverage, and I can provide you with a receipt for reimbursement at your request. Many extended health plans cover registered psychologists. The fee for group therapy is $140 for a 90-minute session.

What types of payment can I use?

Payments can be made by e-tranfer or credit card.

How long is a typical session?

Therapy sessions are 50 minutes. We can discuss whether a different format might suit your needs. Group support sessions are 90 minutes.

How many sessions will I need?

That varies from person to person and depends on what you're working on. Some people find a handful of sessions helpful; others prefer longer-term support. We'll check in regularly and adjust as needed.

The first step is simply reaching out. I'm happy to answer questions about my practice or discuss whether working together might be a good fit.
