About Tatrina
Tatrina Bailey-Josephs is a Licensed Professional Counselor, who specializes in helping children, adults, and families find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, complete, whole, and safe. Tatrina has 14 years of experience in the mental health field, working as a counselor, coach, and administrator in trauma-informed care for individuals experiencing trauma, behavioral, and emotional issues.
Tatrina completed her Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Criminal Justice at Walden University and her Master of Arts (MA) in Counseling at Prairie View A&M University. She realizes how important it is to identify all aspects of an individual’s life that impact their wellbeing, including their physical health, support systems (family, friends, etc.), work or school environment, and faith/spirituality. Tatrina is concerned with the impact of loss and trauma and improving interventions to support trauma recovery for better emotional, physical, and relationship health.
Tatrina’s goal as a counselor is to provide a safe environment where you can explore your primary interests, develop goals, and determine strengths and assets as you move toward your aspirations. She believes in working in partnership to utilize your strengths to help you sort out your challenges and achieve your goals. Tatrina knows that no single approach is the right one for every individual, and so she uses a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Gestalt therapy, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and psychodrama to individuals aged 13 and up. Tatrina’s hope is to help individuals who have the motivation to improve and the courage to seek growth through vulnerability and hard work.

"My great passion is bringing healing to people who have been through a traumatic/stressful experience. "
