Jeannie Bailly Biography

I am a creative arts and mental health specialist as well as a working artist residing in the Pacific Northwest. I hold several degrees and certifications including arts educator, substance use disorder professional, and certified equine guided educator. My experiences of working with people spans the ages 2-65, with various abilities, and from many diﬀerent backgrounds and cultures. I am dedicated to creating and holding a safe space for individuals to heal and grow in self awareness.

I am excited about supporting others to discover and strengthen their own creativity, and

passionate about assisting with their healing journey.

After graduating with honors from the University of San Francisco with a Master's Degree in Teaching and a major in Education, I taught high school art classes and developed a robust art program curriculum for a high school in Northern California. Before this career I was a Behavioral Health Counselor at Alliance Medical Center where I collaborated with the medical team to develop their Medication Assisted Treatment program, and also counseled patients with substance use disorder. While earning my degree in Human Services I fulfilled my internship for addiction counseling at a residential treatment program for adults with co-occurring disorders. Here I created and facilitated a successful creative arts group founded in the principles of recovery.

My most recent work experience has been working as a Rehabilitation Therapist for an agency that supports adults with severe mental illness where I got to facilitate wellness groups. In my spare time I enjoy being out in nature, creating art, songwriting, being with horses, and spending time with friends, family, and my animals.

My latest artwork is an altered book entitled, “In Search of the Warrior” and was on display in a group art exhibit “Down the Rabbit Hole”, at The Copper Wolf Art Gallery and Tattoo Studio in Tumwater, WA. https://thecopperwolf.com/
