Aerin Bailey, Resident in Counseling

Hi, my name is Aerin Bailey, and I am a Resident in Counseling who graduated from VCU with a specialization in Couples and Family Counseling. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life challenges, with a focus on improving self-talk, and strengthening interpersonal relationships. I work with clients ages five and above, and while I welcome individuals of all backgrounds, I especially enjoy working with teens and adults as they grow through life transitions and relationship dynamics. My approach to therapy is client-centered, primarily drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy, while also incorporating elements of systems theory to foster a space where individuals feel heard, valued, and supported. I really appreciate the courage it takes to engage in therapy and strive to build meaningful, authentic connections with my clients. Outside of therapy, I love staying active, going on long walks, and trying coffee from local cafés throughout Richmond.
