Krystin Bailey is an LCSWA at Birch Therapy working under the direct supervision of Laura Goulian (LCSW). Krystin received both her Undergraduate and Master’s Degree in Social Work from North Carolina State University. While in college Krystin provided psychotherapeutic services to clients of all ages while building trauma-informed clinical skills through the TRY-BHWET program. Krystin works with children, teens, college students, adults and parents and strives to create a safe, warm environment that affirms neurodiversity, encourages expression, and meets clients wherever they are on their journey.  

My work is rooted in the importance of a safe and reliable therapeutic relationship that meets clients where they are. I believe that therapy works best when clients of all ages feel heard, trusted, and valued as individuals, which is why any modality I utilize is grounded in a person-centered approach. In sessions, I take an integrative and client-centered approach pulling from attachment work, IFS, and play therapy to help children feel safe, understood, and free to express themselves in ways that feel natural to them.

With clients of all ages, I draw from modalities like ACT, DBT, and TF-CBT to build coping skills, process the past, find security in the present, and to forge safe pathways forward. My goal is to balance exploration and relation with structure, always meeting each child, teen, and parent where they are.
