hi, I'm Corinne.
I'm so glad you're here.
My name is Corinne Bailey, LCSW (they/them) and I am the founder, owner and solo clinician of Attuned Holistic Healing. I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), and I've been in practice as a trained psychotherapist since 2016, and as a fully-Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) since 2018.
The reason I ultimately decided to become a therapist was because I enjoy getting to know people, learning about them, and providing authentic helping, if not healing along the way.
My approach is holistic, person-centered, nonjudgmental, and relational; so I see the whole human - you - not just a set of symptoms. I prioritize your goals and growth through creating a relationship that is safe, grounded in genuine connection, and vulnerability.
One of my areas of expertise is in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). I've conducted over 3,000 KAP sessions since 2019, given talks on the healing mechanisms and benefits of ketamine, served as a KAP Program Director, and written KAP treatment protocols.
in "therapist mode..."
I will take great care in affirming your autonomy and independence while helping you navigate and discover the possibilities therapy has to offer. When working with me, you can expect to experience a compassionate, down-to-earth atmosphere, with methods that are safe, nonjudgmental, and brave. I strive to accommodate requests related to sensory or disability needs you may have. I will engage you in skill-building, and provide psychoeducation that is backed by science and research so you learn more about your own brain and nervous system. I will gently prompt you to reflect and introspect, be curious and laugh, and model fierce compassion all the way.
The theories I tend to keep in my back pocket recognize that everything we experience is connected and holds meaning: humanistic and systems theories, integrative and holistic approaches, intersectional feminism, and queer theory. Vulnerability and empathy are the keys to addressing the difficult emotions we feel, such as shame, anger and sadness, while also empowering us to enrich our lives and relationships and heal from past wounds. As humans, our life experiences and identities we hold create a diverse and beautifully imperfect existence. This wild diversity - the unique yet universal experiences of humanity - is what holds us together, especially in times of darkness and uncertainty.
I am a social worker, first and foremost. As such, I do not consider myself to be an apolitical therapist nor human; in fact I don't believe a clinician can provide quality, client-centered care with integrity otherwise. I do not believe that any human alive today can truly operate outside the system of oppression that has been built and come to be known as "healthcare," and "norms of society." Within this, there are advantages and disadvantages that every human is born with and without, into and outside of - unfortunately this means for many of us that are different, or fall outside the "norm," we are dismissed, ignored, or forgotten by the system meant to support us.
That's me too, and I see you.
“I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.”

more about me...
I proudly identify as queer; nonbinary/neutrois; disabled; neurodivergent (AuDHD); antiracist; antifascist; anticapitalist; feminist; a social justice advocate; and a living-things-lover. I find meaning in making connections with other humans on topics like sustainability and environmental action, human and civil rights, mental and behavioral health, systemic injustices, nondenominational spirituality, and holistic wellness practices. Learning, curiosity and sensory experiences are highly valued in my life: I love learning, food and culture, language, art, music, and nature.
I grew up in Annapolis, Maryland and after spending a chapter in Austin, Texas, I relocated with my spouse and small army of felines to Denver, Colorado in April 2023. Despite being far from home, I carry my Maryland and Baltimore pride with me everywhere. I may even call you "hon."
Outside of the therapy office, I am often spotted attending live music shows or at a flea market or thrift store (if not staring at plants). I also enjoy painting, gardening, visiting museums and antique stores, and generally have a deep appreciation for experiences with robust history and meaning.
Along that same path, I am what folks may consider "woo-woo" - I think nature carries wisdom, and I feel we carry nature within us.

why a raven?
corvid (noun):
Ornithology
-
a bird of the crow family ( Corvidae ); a crow. Includes subgroups: jays, magpies, ravens, crows.
Many cultures around the world consider corvids to be a bad omens - just look at the terms we use for groups of these animals. One of my favorite things to do is challenge the norm, and corvids do so in magical ways. In my world and many other cultures, they are revered, wise messengers, symbols of transformation and internal wisdom.
From magpies to crows to ravens, they are all fascinating creatures. I honored the Raven specifically in my branding, but I appreciate the traits of corvids in general.
Here's why:
did you know...
most of us know a group of crows is called a "murder." a group of magpies is called a "charm," while a flock of jays are called a "scold." ravens in a group are referred to as an "unkindness."
Relationships. While corvids generally mate for life, they are also considered "monogamish," and ensure they remain connected to their community at-large. Corvid societies are highly-evolved, intricate, and akin to primate and human societies. In fact, corvids not only form alliances within their species, but with other species of birds as well! I love that corvids exemplify the integral part community plays in life, and that diversity is so highly-valued. In fact corvids are known to gossip, hold grudges, and even hold funerals for their dead.
Intelligence. Corvids have been proven to have incredible problem-solving and communication skills, with memory capacity is estimated to span from months to years. Creativity is a trait regularly seen in all corvid varieties, lending them the ability to achieve feats seemingly impossible: they make their own tools, can solve puzzles as well as toddlers do. Ravens' feathers are reminiscent of shadow work; therapy approaches that involve exploring the subconscious part of the mind, the "hidden," or "dark" parts not often seen by those other than ourselves.
Transformation. Corvids' feathers - often black, dark purple or blueish - are reminiscent of shadow work. They wisely encourage us to dive deep into the depths of our subconscious to uncover hidden truths, narratives, and reminders for greater clarity. Oftentimes these "hidden truths" are keys to changing patterns of behavior, leaving unhelpful habits behind, and deepening self-understanding. Ultimately, these ancient messengers are prompting us to trust our intuition, and remember our full potential for connection, transformation, and healing.
Education & Relevant Experience
2023 - now | Owner, Founder & Psychotherapist, Ketamine Therapist
Attuned Holistic Healing
After relocating to Denver in 2023, I spent about two years establishing my business and adjusting to life in Colorado. Those two years included a role as a senior ketamine psychotherapist in a local group practice, and as a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) Program Director at a small clinic south of Denver. In April 2025, I branched off on my own, officially founded Attuned Holistic Healing and opened its doors on East Florida Avenue. I've been thrilled to focus on what brings me the most joy -- working with clients who are seeking a therapist who is just as weird and funky as they are -- and operating my practice according to core values of bravery, authenticity, and advocacy.
2018 - 2023 | Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist (KAP)
Roots Behavioral Health
Shortly after being hired by Therapy Austin, I found another position with Roots Behavioral Health as a psychotherapist. It was this clinic and this valuable connection that allowed me to discover my passion and fascination with psychedelic science and ultimately, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP). At the time, ketamine as a therapeutic medicine (outside of pain management and anesthesia) was still a new idea, and there were no other clinics in the state of Texas that offered ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. I recognize the privilege I held and hold today: that I got to discover and witness first-hand the power of this medicine, and be trained by pioneering clinicians who worked directly with Phil Wolfson himself, psychiatrist and author of The Ketamine Papers. I am forever grateful for this introduction.
2021| LCSW Exam Completion
After about three years of hard work that included over 3,000 hours of client sessions of all kinds (individual, couple and group), educational and training experiences, professional and skill development, I finally was a candidate to take the Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) exam. I did so, and I became an official LCSW in March, 2021.
2018 - 2021 | Psychotherapist
Therapy Austin
My time with Therapy Austin was a true learning experience, and my first official (paid) position as a psychotherapist. At the time, Therapy Austin provided trainings on everything from trauma and client-focused work, to smart business practices and skills. I learned the importance of professional development and ongoing learning among colleagues to continue to grow as clinicians. I also realized the value of a supervisor-supervisee relationship, and how experienced clinicians and supervisors serve as pillars in the social work field with integrity.
2018 | LMSW Exam Completion
In 2018, I had just graduated with my masters, and passed the Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) Exam given by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC).
2017 - 2018 | Phone Advocate
National Domestic Violence Hotline
While in the last year of my classes at UT, I had the opportunity to work for the National Domestic Violence Hotline (NDVH) as a Phone Advocate. Before taking calls, I received extensive training focused on intimate-partner violence (IPV) or domestic violence (DV) that still informs my practice today: recognizing the signs and typical patterns of abuse; using survivor-affirming language; conducting crisis-assessment and intervention; understanding the intricacies of minority communities (LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, disability) and IPV dynamics; and engaging community/regional resourcing.
2015 - 2018 | Graduate-Level Education
University of Texas Austin
Masters of Science in Social Work (MSSW)
In 2015, I left Maryland to pursue my masters at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas, and graduated from the School of Social Work (now known as the Steve Hicks School of Social Work) in 2018.
During my time at UT, I served as a graduate teaching assistant for an American Sign Language (ASL) professor, a Psychotherapy Intern at Capital Area Counseling, and a Social Work Intern at People's Community Clinic.
2011 - 2014 | Undergraduate Education
Towson University Honors College | Cum Laude
Bachelors of Science in Deaf Studies & Human Services
Psychology Minor
My decision to attend Towson University was primarily driven by my passion for American Sign Language (ASL), d/Deaf Culture and the Deaf Community, and my education there forged important connections between social justice, audism, and disability. I also served as a Social Work Intern at Springfield Hospital Center, a notable inpatient behavioral health facility in Springfield, Maryland, where I gained experience with acute mental health disorders co-occurring with deafness or hearing loss.
I was deeply honored upon my graduation to be selected graduate to perform (alongside the singer/vocalist) the National Anthem and Maryland State Song entirely in American Sign Language during the commencement ceremony.
