Therapists in Minnesota

I am committed to working with clients to help them feel energetic, satisfied with their achievements, secure in relationships, and positive about the future. At times you may feel overwhelmed and discouraged, grieving losses and past mistakes. If you deal with anxiety, depression, stress - you may feel vulnerable instead of resilient, focused on past trauma experiences/regrets, on fears for the future. I provide guidance and support as you explore and change habits of thought and behaviors to improve relationships, to access natural resilience, to achieve a greater sense of personal security and self-confidence.

I am a clinical psychologist providing psychotherapy for a wide range of problems, including mood disorders, trauma, relationship problems, and more. I also have subspecialties in working with parenting, eating disorders, and phobias. Please go to my website at drhollybailey.com for more information or give me a call. I am oftentimes in session, so please leave a message with my receptionist, providing a couple of convenient times when I can return your call. I'll be sure to do so promptly!

It is my honor to walk alongside individuals, couples, and families working to improve their relationships and communication. I create and hold space for my clients to process events in their lives, gain perspective, insight, and compassion for themselves while they deepen their most important relationships. Perspective is a powerful tool and one of the gifts of therapy. I utilize an eclectic blend of theoretical approaches depending on client's needs and desired outcomes. Co-parenting, divorcing/divorced couples & families, grief, trauma, identity work, and ketamine integration are areas of current clinical interest.

If you're anything like my past clients, you come to this website with a mix of hope and fear. I have worked with people in many different circumstances. Struggles with relationships, family dynamics, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addiction, and trauma. Helping people navigate a path to feeling and functioning better is my aim.

I believe in building relationships in therapy that free people to find balance in their own lives. As a therapist, I focus on you. I want to understand your thoughts and feelings. I don’t judge; I listen. I don’t pressure; I provide a safe place. We all have important things to hold onto. We all go through times we need to let go. Sometimes it is easy to feel lost. Let me help you find your way.

I have immediate availability for evening appointments. Stress, burnout and anxiety sucks and when you’re feeling stuck, it can be difficult to see there is a way out. There is a path forward and I can help you find it! I have skills and passion for helping working folks, young adults, women and people who are part of the LGBTIA+ community. I will bring my opinions, humor, and relaxed approach to all our sessions. Oh, and at least one cat on my desk. :)

I look forward to engaging in an open dialogue with you, offering perspective, and providing support as you take steps toward positive life change. I have extensive experience treating clients suffering from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, and relationship difficulties, and refine my therapeutic approach to each individual's needs. This means helping clients develop coping skills and change behaviors, connecting with teenagers, providing parent guidance, facilitating communication among families, and guiding processing to find resolution and relieve suffering.

As you know, the therapeutic alliance or relationship you have with your therapist, is one of the most important components of successful treatment outcomes, regardless of the specific form of therapy that is employed. In other words, you need to look for a “good fit” for your specific needs, values and challenges that are before you. With that in mind, I have the following for your review. Past experiences: United States Navy, retired Minnesota State Trooper, ordained minister and adjunct faculty member at 3 different colleges. Don’t worry, I don’t give out tickets, nor make arrests, nor push my religious beliefs upon anyone.

I incorporate trauma informed care into my work. I believe healing is possible and I am here to walk the path with my clients to a place of growth and positive change.

If you’re ready to improve your life, then I am the one to lead you there. Having years of experience as both a client and a clinician, I am very familiar with the process of change and I am well equipped to make it happen. I've helped guide people through issues of simple depression all the way to complex PTSD. I have extensive experience dealing with criminality, all forms of abuse, addiction, and most mental disorders. My blend of psychodynamic education and life experience have suited me well in this field.
