About Me
My name is Darnise Bailey
Hey there! I’m Darnise — Chicago born and raised, so yes, deep-dish pizza is the standard, not the exception. Howard University grew me and The Chicago School of Professional Psychology refined me. I’m also a lover of all things sapphire (the stone and the color), and when I’m not in session, you’ll probably find me lost in a movie soundtrack or curating the perfect playlist — because life deserves a good score.
At The Bailey Collective, my approach is person-centered. I believe you are the author of your own story — I’m just here to help you make some thoughtful edits, add a few plot twists, and maybe delete a couple of unnecessary side characters. Therapy with me is a collaborative process filled with empathy, reflection, and maybe even a few laughs along the way.
Whether you’re working through life transitions, healing from the past, or simply trying to make sense of your next chapter, I’m here to walk alongside you — Chicago-style: direct, warm, and always real.
