Bailey Newell, MA, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

My therapy style is collaborative and client-centered. I believe therapy should meet you where you arewhether youre looking to process deep emotional pain or just need support navigating day-to-day stress. I typically begin each session by checking in on whats going well, whats challenging, and where youd like to focus. Well balance thoughtful exploration with practical tools for growth. I use a blend of evidence-based approaches, including: Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR): To reprocess trauma and reduce emotional distress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): To strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship skills. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): To help challenge unhelpful thought patterns and reduce emotional suffering. Family systems: To explore how early relationships influence present dynamics. Solution-focused therapy: To build on your strengths and set realistic, meaningful goals. Therapy is a space for both reflection and actionand together, well find a rhythm that works for you.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns you cant shake, or burdened by a past that still feels too close. You might be navigating life transitions, relationship conflict, or trying to quiet that critical inner voice. If any of this sounds familiar, youre not aloneand you dont have to figure it out on your own. Im Bailey Newell, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at Omni Mental Health in St. Paul. I work with adults, couples, and families who are ready to explore their emotions, improve their relationships, and move toward lasting change. Ive been in the mental health field since 2016, beginning with home-based therapy before moving into outpatient care. In that time, Ive helped clients work through trauma, anxiety, depression, communication issues, and major life transitions. Many of the people I work with come in feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to beginand together, we create space for healing and movement forward. Clients often tell me they appreciate how real I am in the room. I bring warmth, honesty, and a touch of humor when its welcome. I believe therapy only works when theres a genuine connection, so I prioritize building a trusting relationship from the start. Its not about fixing youits about uncovering your strengths, making sense of your experiences, and finding a path that aligns with your values. Ive known I wanted to be a therapist since I was 12. Personal experiences with anxiety and family conflict deepened my belief that change is possible and that no one should have to navigate their pain alone.
