Bailey Hill

Hi, my name is

Licensed Professional Counselor - Associate

Supervised by Jennifer Dougherty, Ph.D, LPC-S, RPT-S

Let me introduce myself...

I’m so glad you’re here, and I look forward to meeting you! As a therapist, I welcome clients to bring their authentic selves into the therapy space, where I believe change happens through empathy, trust, and collaboration.

Originally from Houston, I moved to Dallas in 7th grade and have called it home ever since. My passion for helping others grew through a variety of life experiences, from mission trips to Zambia to teaching after graduating from the University of Texas. These experiences led me back to my calling—helping people heal and grow. I decided to return to school and earned my master’s in counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary, where I gained the knowledge and clinical skills needed to effectively support my clients. Each of these stepping stones—whether through teaching, service, or education—has played a vital role in shaping the therapist I am today.

On the weekends, you’ll likely find me enjoying a coffee walk outdoors or browsing at Home Goods! I find joy in simple pleasures like good weather and dinner at a new restaurant with my fiancé.

Now that we’re acquainted, feel free to scroll down to learn more about my personal clinical approach!

I offer a compassionate, person-centered approach that honors your unique experiences and inner wisdom. At the core of our work is a genuine, supportive relationship where you are seen, heard, and empowered. I integrate principles of polyvagal theory to help you better understand your nervous system and develop tools for building safety and regulation.

Together, we’ll create a space that fosters healing, growth, and self-discovery.
My approach is rooted in empathy, trust, and collaboration—together, we’ll explore your experiences, uncover your strengths, and work through the challenges that are holding you back.
I’m excited to work closely with you, especially when it comes to processing the deeper hurts that have shaped your life. Whether you're dealing with past trauma, difficult emotions, or challenging patterns, I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way, holding space for whatever comes up without judgment.
My goal is to empower you with the tools, insights, and support you need to find healing, clarity, and peace. I believe in your capacity for growth, and I’m honored to be a part of your journey.

Experience:

With a strong foundation in both education and mental health, I bring a wealth of experience to my work with children, teens, young adults, and families. My background as both a teacher and a therapist has given me a unique ability to understand the full scope of a child’s development—socially, emotionally, and academically—allowing me to provide truly comprehensive care.

During my time teaching in Austin’s diverse school settings, I gained firsthand experience in recognizing and addressing the challenges that children and adolescents face daily. I learned the importance of meeting kids where they are, collaborating with families, and ensuring that every child feels seen, supported, and understood. This perspective continues to shape my work as a therapist, enabling me to approach each client with a deep understanding of their environment and needs.

My advanced clinical training at Dallas Theological Seminary, combined with experience in private practice, has allowed me to refine my therapeutic skills under the mentorship of highly respected professionals in the field. I have specialized training in evidence-based techniques such as activity therapy for adolescents and somatic play therapy for younger children—both of which help children process emotions, build resilience, and develop the tools they need to thrive.

Above all, I am committed to creating a warm and trusting therapeutic environment where children and their families feel empowered. Whether working through anxiety, behavioral challenges, school-related stress, or emotional growth, I partner with parents to develop tailored strategies that foster long-term well-being. My goal is not only to help my client's navigate their current challenges, but to equip them with the skills and confidence to flourish in every stage of life.

"We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind is one of the most potent forces for change that I know."
