About Me

Iris Bailey

MA, M-Div., CIMI, ECMH Consultant, LPCC-S

Iris’s early career as a radio and television broadcaster developed her skills in communications. Her desire to volunteer in areas of community service “piggybacked” with her seminary experiences as a servant leader. The combinations led her into the field of behavioral health services.

Iris believes healing begins with trust. She encourages clients to take time building a therapeutic relationship and discovering whether they feel safe sharing their story. Once trust is established, meaningful growth and healing can begin.

Known for her warmth, honesty, humor, and genuine concern for others, Iris often describes herself as a “Messenger of Hope.” She is passionate about helping individuals and families who feel lost, overwhelmed, or stuck discover resilience, renewed perspective, and a path forward.

For Iris, the greatest privilege is helping clients move through life’s difficult intersections and uncover strength they never realized they possessed.

I delight in "engaging individuals and families as they move through the challenging intersections of their lives."

 "Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness."
