Bailey Batman, MHC Student

About Me

I love music! I was in choir through elementary, middle and high school and I play piano and guitar. It is one of my favorite outlets of self-expression and self-care! I also like to hike and camp with my siblings and spend time with my best friends drinking coffee! When I need to chill,  I enjoy a good game or movie night. When I’m spending time alone, I like to work on my sewing skills and read whatever novel fits the season!

AGES SEEN

I enjoy working with all ages but has a special love for young elementary aged kids because of their curiosity and resilience.

There is so much that I love about working with kids! As a therapist I am able to provide guidance and support during crucial developmental stages. This impact can shape future attitudes, behaviors and achievements! Kids and teens have a unique way of seeing the world – full of curiosity, creativity and imagination. I love celebrating their progress over time and encouraging growth and positive well-being!

PHILOSOPHY

I enjoy working with clients and families who are able to show up as their authentic, and most often messy, self. I value honesty and love to work with people that do the same. I also recognize that it can be hard to reach out for help and to admit when things aren’t working or going well. However, I see my role as one to support not only the child but the whole family system. As the primary support system for their children, a parent’s love, stability and comfort are essential to a child’s mental wellness. Collaborating with parents allows me to gain a comprehensive understanding of the child’s context and tailor interventions effectively.
