Complex Trauma & PTSD
For the big, obvious trauma and the long, quiet kind. We work on the root, not just the symptoms, at a pace your nervous system can handle.
Trauma & OCD therapy in Murray, Utah and online
For the ones who've been told they're too complex to heal.
You've done therapy before. Maybe more than once. It helped some, but it never reached the root. I'm Caitlin Bailey, LCSW, a trauma therapist who works with the cases many clinicians shy away from: complex trauma, dissociation, and OCD, often all at once.
Is this you?
You're tired of talking around it.
You want to get to the root of things, not just manage them. And you're ready, or almost ready, to do the uncomfortable work that takes.
If a few of these land, you're in the right place.
- You've been to therapy before. It helped a little, but you still don't feel healed.
- You're carrying complex trauma, OCD, ADHD, or some mix of all of it, and no one has treated them together.
- Your body is stuck on high alert. Sleep is a mess, and relationships, work, or school are taking the hit.
- You've built your worth on achievement and getting it right, and it's starting to cost more than it gives.
- Some of what hurts most is what never happened: the attention, safety, or care you needed growing up and didn't get.
- You're skeptical. You've been let down before. But some part of you still hopes this time can be different.
How I can help
The hard cases are the ones I love.
I've trained specifically for the things that often get missed, misread, or referred out.
Dissociation & Parts Work
Dissociative parts need more than a popular technique. I use careful, trained approaches that stabilize first, so the work doesn't make things worse.
OCD & Anxiety
Trauma-informed ERP and inference-based CBT (I-CBT), including help with the sneaky mental compulsions that are easy to miss.
Attachment Wounds & Neglect
Healing unmet needs from childhood so you can build steadier relationships and break patterns that have been handed down for generations.
Perfectionism & High Achievement
For women who've used achievement to feel worthy and are ready to find self-worth that doesn't depend on performing.
Preteens, Teens & Transitions
I see clients ages 10 and up. I love working with preteens and teens (with parents who are on board), and with anyone in the middle of a big life change.
I also work with
"I believe everything you need to heal is already within you. My job is to help you find it and trust it."

How I work
What we actually do in session.
Therapy with me is interactive and collaborative. It isn't always comfortable, but you won't be doing the hard parts alone.
Notice what's coming up
We look at what's showing up in your body and mind, in session and during the week, and explore the messages underneath it so the big feelings start to settle.
Get to know every part of you
We get familiar with the different parts of you, including the ones that protect, avoid, or hold old pain, and work on meeting the needs they've been carrying.
Practice being brave
You'll leave with things to work on between sessions. Sometimes we face fears together in session, so you don't have to do it by yourself.
Sessions
In person & online
In-person sessions are preferred when possible. Telehealth is available for clients anywhere in Utah.
Sessions in English or Spanish.
When you're ready
There's hard work ahead. There's also real hope.
