Mieke Baisley

In a world that celebrates non-stop movement and productivity, I help clients slow down. I offer virtual therapy tailored for young adults navigating anxiety, neurodivergence, life transitions, and chronic illness. I especially enjoy working with clients who feel isolated in their suffering, struggling inwardly while portraying success and happiness to others. Anxiety, depression, burnout, and trauma often share one painful trait: isolation and loneliness. I believe that relationships are the foundation for change; I prioritize creating a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard. I grew up in South Africa and moved to the States as a young adult. As an immigrant myself, I understand on a personal level how important culture and community is to the foundation of who we are as individuals. I know that therapy can be daunting, so we focus on small, impactful, sustainable changes, instead of trying to address everything all at once. My work is deeply collaborative and relational in nature; I offer gentle guidance while honoring your own innate expertise and judgement. My clients would describe me as curious, genuine, and compassionate, and I enjoy bringing humor and humanity into the therapeutic process. My practice is rooted in a Humanistic, person-centered approach; my priority is to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard and your autonomy is honored. To help you reach your goals, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for practical tools to help you break unhelpful patterns, and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help you navigate uncertainty and build the confidence to make meaningful changes. My experience working in the functional medicine field as a health coach and nutrition counselor has shaped my views of holistic health and offered a unique perspective of the interconnectedness of different areas of life. Together, we will work at your own pace, one step at a time, to break negative patterns and create a more fulfilling life by building small, sustainable habits. My remote office is a welcoming and safe space for all human beings, regardless of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, or lived experience. You’ve done it. You’ve taken the first step. We celebrate the small wins here! When you feel ready to take the next step, I would love to connect with you. I am currently taking new clients - telehealth across TN and MA.
