I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and certified personal trainer. I specialize in helping women who feel disconnected from themselves after years of emotional pain, trauma, or body shame. Many of my clients come to me seeking freedom from overthinking, people-pleasing, and patterns of self-abandonment. Together, we explore the wounds beneath these patterns so they can rediscover confidence, emotional safety, and connection with their true selves.

I hold a master’s in social work from Wayne State University. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with holistic practices that honor the mind-body connection. Through eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, somatic awareness, mindfulness, movement, and breathwork, I help clients process emotions, build self-trust, and support nervous system regulation.

You deserve to feel grounded, whole, and at peace within yourself. Healing isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you’ve always been beneath the pain. If you’re ready to begin your journey toward reconnection and growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 4 years of experience providing individual and group counseling in community mental health, both inpatient and outpatient. I've supported clients with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem, and relationship issues. I create a safe and supportive space where clients can explore challenges, reconnect with themselves, and begin moving toward clarity, healing, and meaningful change.

I earned my Master's in Social Work from Stephen F. Austin State University. I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and cognitive processing therapy for trauma to help clients identify and shift patterns that may be keeping them stuck.

My clients are met with warmth, respect, and non-judgment. I take a strength-based, solution-focused approach, walking alongside clients as they navigate difficult times. Whether struggling to feel like themselves, managing overwhelming emotions, or seeking guidance, clients find support and the possibility of healing.

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.
