Dr. Quintin Bailey is a post-doctoral fellow working under the supervision of Dr. Krista Jordan. Dr. Bailey specializes in working with those who have been diagnosed with a personality disorder, dissociative disorder, or those struggling with chronic relationship stress or identity development.
Dr. Bailey uses a psychodynamic approach to treatment which means 3 main things. First, Dr. Bailey believes in the unconscious and that we all have thoughts, feelings, wishes, and desires we might not be fully aware of that exert pressure on the ways we move through the world. Second, Dr. Bailey uses a developmental perspective to understand how ways of moving through the world or relating to others may have developed as an adaptive survival response to our primary caregivers and early life experiences. Suffering often indicates these strategies are not longer effective. Third, Dr. Bailey highly values the relationship built between clinician and patient, and understands that this is the best indicator of if a treatment will be successful. It is important to be able to bring all the parts of the self(s) into treatment, even those that might feel difficult or challenging to think about.
In an effort to create safety and trust, Dr. Bailey aims to foster a warm and welcoming space for folks of a variety of identities and backgrounds. He has specialized training working within the transgender and non-binary community. Dr. Bailey is offering all services in-person and is happy to discuss any concerns related to COVID-19.
