Salutations! My name is Bailey, and I am pursuing a Master of Science in Clinical Counseling at Northern Kentucky University. My counseling style is welcoming and empathetic, and it is important to me that you feel comfortable, supported, and empowered during our time together. It is my utmost intention to treat all my clients as unique individuals who are deserving of unconditional acceptance, regardless of their individual circumstances or struggles. It is my belief that meaning, while a slippery concept, is best explored through the lens of human connection. For me, it is an honor to accompany others on their healing journeys.

I am a psychotherapist who has been working with adults in the Cincinnati area for nearly 30 years. I have a passion for women's issues . In my practice I have found success working with individuals who struggle with symptoms of trauma, grief, anxiety and depression. This encompasses abuse, infertility, loss of a loved one, cancer and much more. When a mental health crisis occurs, my skills have proven to be helpful to families and clients as they navigate the new challenges with disorders such as bipolar.

Hello and welcome! My name is Amy Freede, and I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with over 11 years of clinical experience. In my practice, I draw from a range of therapy approaches depending on your specific circumstances and symptoms, such as Anxiety, Life Transitions, Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD), Pregnancy/Prenatal/Postpartum, and Women's Issues . While working with various individuals, I technically use a mix of Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical (DBT), Exposure Response Prevention, Interpersonal, Person-Centered, and Supportive therapies during treatment. I believe we are all trying our best.

Being a Mom is exciting and joyful– but it can also be exhausting, especially in today’s world. You’re being pulled in a million different directions and trying to meet what can feel like impossible demands. There are so many changes that happen through pregnancy, postpartum and beyond that you start to feel like you’ve lost yourself. You deserve support and a safe space to talk about what you’re struggling with, or that you may not love every minute of being a Mom. I’m here for you, even if you are not navigating Motherhood but are struggling and need support, I’d be honored to be able to walk with you through your journey.

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Dealing with relationship conflict that you just can't resolve, or wrestling with questions about the future of your relationship? Or are you simply overwhelmed by just how different your life is from the one you imagined before becoming a parent? Parenthood often brings old wounds to the surface, making it difficult to show up the way we want to for our children. I support parents in working through personal and parenting struggles using a positive, connected approach. Additionally, I have extensive experience supporting mental health professionals who are doing their own work.

Like so many of us, life has had some unexpected twists and turns. Whether you are grieving, sensing a growing distance with your spouse, having trouble taking care of your family, struggling to form meaningful relationships, recovering from a divorce or break up, unsure how to help your adult children, experiencing mood swings, struggling with work or school, relocating, struggling with pregnancy or learning that being a mom or dad is a lot harder than you imagined, I can help you feel less overwhelmed and more fulfilled. My goal is to help you feel better by providing direct, honest, respectful, and supportive feedback.

I am dedicated to working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress in their lives. As such, I will meet you where you are in your pursuit to live an emotionally well-balanced, mindful, and more peaceful life. I integrate a variety of evidence-based therapies to help you clear emotional roadblocks, so you can gain new perspectives and see yourself in a new light.

The process of healing, i.e., learning from your past, changing your patterns, and thinking differently, requires intentional and compassionate guidance. I believe it is necessary to utilize both the left (logical) and right (expressive) hemispheres of our brain in order grow closer to our most authentic selves. I work with clients who experience Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Trauma, Attachment/Relationship issues, School/College/Job-related stressors, and other life stressors in need of processing and organizing in order to improve daily functioning.

My passion for psychotherapy comes from a belief that all humans need to feel connected and supported, especially through times of transition. I believe in meeting clients where they are, recognizing the individual needs and establishing a supportive relationship that encourages positive growth and change while helping clients navigate challenges so that they might find more meaning and purpose in their life. I specialize primarily in working with those who are experiencing perinatal mental health concerns, trauma, anxiety, and adjustment to life phases.

I have experience with working with teenagers, young adults, and adults that may be suffering with identity concerns, substance abuse, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. Our learned experiences, culture, genetics, and nature directly impact our behaviors and responses. Working from a Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Approach, my mission is to collaborate with clients to promote healing, coping skills, emotional awareness, and more.

You are struggling to see yourself as worthy in your own life. Negative self-talk takes up the majority of your thoughts. People have hurt you in the past or have convinced you that you're not good enough in some way so you now experience self-doubt when it comes to any decisions that you need to make. You isolate yourself because it is safer to be alone (even though you hate being alone) than it is to have the possibility of getting hurt again. Most of your decisions are based around how to keep other people happy instead of making yourself happy. However, you are ready for a change.

Life comes at us fast and many of us wear various hats. Sometimes thoughts and feelings get stuck and conflicted inside us. In the demands of the day to day, we move on, but loose some of our clarity, passion and momentum. I'm here to join you in slowing down, acknowledging the truth, validating and processing your life. I will hold a space for you to heal, move forward, grow and thrive. The opportunity to hear parts of your story and join you in this season of your life is an honor & joy. Whether you are in need of healing or growth I welcome the chance to connect.

I offer a collaborative approach to find the best way to support you with your specific needs. Therapy should be a partnership that allows you an opportunity to contribute to the healing process. I have a laid back personality with a good sense of humor that helps others feel comfortable opening up. I believe that your counseling experience should be tailored to you and your specific needs. I work to facilitate open communication so that you feel comfortable collaborating on the best treatment for you.
