D Bayley Thompson, LPCA, NCC

As a Licensed Professional Counseling Associate, and with years of experience as a trauma-informed yoga teacher and personal trainer, I have witnessed how every person’s life is touched by loss. My own story includes experiences of relational trauma and loss, and through the Grief Recovery Method® I found a pathway toward healing that has transformed both my personal and professional life. Grief is a normal, natural reaction to over 40 different types of losses—including death, divorce, changes in health, moves, and unmet hopes or expectations. The pain of grief often carries conflicting feelings—love and regret, relief and sadness, gratitude and longing. It is my privilege to walk alongside others in this process, offering both one-on-one and group support through the Grief Recovery Method®. Together, we can work toward completing what feels unfinished, releasing the pain of loss, and rediscovering freedom to live more fully. In addition to being certified as a Grief Recovery Method Specialist, Bayley is a Licensed Professional Counseling Associate in Kentucky and National Certified Counselor with a Masters of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She is located in Shelbyville, Kentucky.
