Getting to know Bailey Baker
Bailey Baker is a dual-board certified nurse practitioner in psychiatric mental health and family practice with a passion for helping patients live their most joyful lives. She received her Master’s of Science in Nursing from Carson Newman University. Through personal and professional experience, she saw a gap in the healthcare system, as well as the psychiatric mental health specialty, and had a deep desire to fill this gap. She decided to pursue a certificate in psychiatric mental health at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Before starting her private practice, Bailey worked in the Intensive Care Unit for 5 years as a registered nurse at The University of Tennessee Medical Center before starting a job in primary care.
Bailey sees adolescents and adults, ages 12 and up with mental conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar and other mood disorders, OCD, and many more. She is currently accepting new patients via telehealth services through a HIPAA-compliant video conference and would love to help you get the most out of life while experiencing hope, joy, prosperity, and belonging. If you are interested in taking control of your life, she will provide a non-judgmental and caring approach to address your mental health symptoms and concerns.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Bailey holds her board certification as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. She provides comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, psycho-education, and medication management for behavioral health conditions. She will provide goal-oriented, holistic care that is consistent with the most evidence-based practice guidelines while considering your concerns to ensure the most comfortable and effective treatment plan possible.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The First Step: Psychiatric Evaluation
To begin this journey, it is important to start with a comprehensive, diagnostic psychiatric evaluation in which Bailey will get an extensive medical and psychiatric history. This appointment typically lasts about an hour and will provide a diagnosis, as well as a treatment plan to address the mental health concerns addressed within the appointment.
Follow-Up Appointments
After the plan is initiated, the patient will follow-up with Bailey in 4-6 weeks to ensure that the treatment plan is working and that there are no complications or concerns regarding the treatment plan. These follow-up appointments last 20-30 minutes. After stability and satisfaction is established, the follow-up appointments will occur every 3-6 months for the continuation of treatment.

Bailey is both experienced and professional at every visit I have with her. She understands deeply my mental health issues and it is an ease to expound on my struggles and my history with them. She has excellent availability and communication. Her commissions are also extremely reasonable n fair and her post session care is prompt and thorough.

Bailey is amazing. She actively listens, asks amazing questions, and gives full transparency on her decision making process. She understands and encourages the collaboration between a provider and a patient and it shows. As a mental health provider, not only do I refer all my clients to her for their psychiatric needs, my family and I see her as well.

This is my first experience with a therapist. I was hesitant about speaking with a stranger, but I needed a more focused care outside of pcp care.
From day one, Bailey felt like someone I had already known. By this, I mean that she is easy to talk to, very friendly, and personable.
I feel as if Bailey genuinely cares about my concerns. I always feel informed and can easily contact her. Bailey's care feels like a team approach that I can trust and understand comfortably.
I find myself opening up more than I had thought I would because she provides a non-judgmental and safe atmosphere. She is kind and motivational while being patient and understanding. I do not feel pressured or rushed into decisions and take solace knowing the option for decision making is available.
I am so happy and thankful to have made the leap of contacting her! I feel as though my life is being put back together piece-by-piece each day. With her guidance, I feel like myself again.
Highly recommend!

Very caring,very professional. Bailey Baker is a rare find in the world today. She is truly dedicated to her field. I have no doubt I'm in good hands with her.

Let me start with the fact that Bailey actually listened and asked questions before I was even her patient. She showed more compassion and care in my pre-appointment than two previous other appointments with two different providers. She is very easy to talk to and share the things you struggle with mentally which means a lot to me. It is not easy to open up to someone and share your mental struggles, so it is extremely calming to have someone genuinely listen and care. I'm so glad I found her!!!!

Bailey is so wonderful! She's answered every single one of my questions (and I've had a lot.) She is so nice and knowledgeable and she has never once doubted or discounted my symptoms, like some providers have in the past. I'm so glad I found her.

Bailey is awesome, she made me feel comfortable and heard. She also was very friendly and easy to open up to. As someone who has a hard time trusting providers, I trust her and I truly feel like her goal is to do the best by her patients.

I don’t often recommend anything or anyone as everyone has a different view and/or need but with Bailey she has such an infectious amount of caring, empathy, and likability with a wealth of knowledge I feel lucky to have found her and want to share with others how she helped me. She was the missing piece in my treatment that made all the difference.
