Meet the Face Behind Forest Floor

Hi! I’m Bailey!

I opened Forest Floor Psychotherapy in 2022 despite fears I wouldn’t be able to handle the “business side” of things. Although it’s been a tough job and a lot of learning, it’s the best choice I’ve ever made. The ability to work with folks as short or long-term as they need, and to be there for them throughout any and all of their ups and downs, has been well worth having to figure out how to do taxes when I’m self-employed.

I’ve known since I was young that therapy was the only job for me, and even used to have a pro-bono, unqualified practice on the playground that I operated under the name “Doctor Love.” That passion carried me through my schooling, qualifications and experience to be the therapist I am today (though I never did go through with the doctor part).

My favourite thing about being a therapist is constantly learning more about the world through my Clients’ experiences and perspectives. I’m endlessly curious about the human condition and how we can make small changes that create big impacts. It’s the same reason I love all things creative: TV, movies, music, games, theatre, etc. I think that as we learn more about the world and ourselves, we can be more creative in how we care for ourselves and approach our problems, which in turn makes us more resilient and adaptable when we face hardships. It’s been so exciting to add supervision to my offerings as a way to connect with and help those who are newer in the field to figure out their own ways of being the best therapists they can be.
