DALLAS BASED MENTAL HEALTH PRIVATE PRACTICE SERVING CHILDREN, TEENS, AND ADULTS

Poppy Counseling

Bailey Hill

Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate
Supervised by Jennifer Dougherty, Ph.D, LPC-S, RPT-S

I’m so glad you’re here, and I look forward to meeting you! As a therapist, I welcome clients to bring their whole selves into the therapy space, where I believe change happens through empathy, trust, and collaboration.

    Originally from Houston, I moved to Dallas in 7th grade and have called it home ever since. My passion for helping others grew through a variety of life experiences, from mission trips to Zambia, to teaching school after graduating from The University of Texas. These experiences led me back to what I love most, helping people heal and grow. I decided to return to school and earned my master’s in counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary, where I gained the knowledge and clinical skills needed to effectively support my clients. Each of these stepping stones, whether through teaching, service, or education, has played a vital role in shaping the therapist I am today.

    On the weekends, you’ll likely find me enjoying a coffee walk outdoors or browsing at Home Goods! I find joy in simple pleasures like sunny weather and dinner at a new restaurant with my husband.

    Now that we’re acquainted, feel free to scroll down to learn more about my personal clinical approach!
