Bailey Wielhouwer, MSW, LSW

Clinical Therapist

Bailey creates a safe, empowering space where clients feel validated, respected, and understood. Working with children and adolescents has always been a passion of hers, and she approaches the unique challenges they face with empathy, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for each child’s individuality. Bailey is especially passionate about using play therapy to connect with children and teens in developmentally appropriate and meaningful ways.

​

Bailey’s educational background in victimology and her experience as a Youth Advocate supporting individuals experiencing homelessness have shaped her trauma-informed lens and deepened her understanding of the systemic and interpersonal impacts of trauma, violence, and victimization.

​

Bailey believes that therapy is never one-size-fits-all. Her approach is rooted in person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed care, with a focus on honoring each client’s unique experiences, identities, and goals. She strives to create a space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered as they move through their healing journey at their own pace.​

​

Outside of the therapy room, Bailey enjoys singing, listening to music, and traveling. She views music as a powerful form of expression and hopes to pursue training in music therapy in the future. She also loves weekend adventures and has a goal of visiting all 50 states.
