ABOUT US
In addition to her private practice, Dr. Bailey has a special interest in the field of Autism. She has two children who are on the spectrum and as a result, she is passionate about helping families with children with special needs.
Dr. Bailey is also a breast cancer survivor. Being trained as a health psychologist prepared her with the knowledge to help patients with chronic and terminal issues; her experience as a patient with her own illness gave her a unique perspective to provide unparalleled compassion.
​
Dr. Bailey is the author of Pink Hell: Breast Cancer Sucks, her book about her personal journey with breast cancer. She adds her own sense of humor to help women, and men alike, relate to her unique experience. ​
