As a Core Faculty and prior Academic Coordinator with Walden University’s School of Counseling [SOC], Dr. Bailey enjoys working with both faculty and students as a part of the SOC Student Response Team in helping to promote student retention and progression with a focus on facilitating a Community of Care for all of our SoC online students.
In addition to her work with Walden University, Dr. Bailey maintains a small private practice focusing on the needs of college students navigating the transition to adulthood, social and emotional challenges of gifted individuals across the lifespan, affirmative counseling and advocacy for LGBTIQ+ clients, and supporting individuals coping with issues of anxiety, OCD, and depression. Her current research interests include relational-cultural and experiential pedagogy in counselor education, cognitive-developmental counseling interventions and educational strategies, the developmental counseling needs of gifted and 2e individuals, expanding community cultural humility, and effecting positive social change.
