There is so much to love about this conversation with Bailee Teter! Bailee graduated with her master’s degree from Lipscomb University and is a Licensed Counselor working part time doing equine assisted counseling. She is also a dancer and directs the Adonai Arts Academy dance program. I love that we got connected through this podcast!

Bailee currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband. She has a beautiful heart for seeing people find freedom! Bailee recently started a blog called Paraklesis with a vision of seeing it grow into a full ministry. Her mission is to use creativity to help people connect to God for healing and growth. 

We chat about Bailee growing up with passions for both volleyball and dance. After finishing up college, Bailee spent a year in Europe doing mission work before pursuing her counseling degree. She shares what it was like to experience burnout and when we can know if it is time for a shift of seasons in our own lives. I enjoyed hearing about the power of creative therapy and learning more about what working with horses in equine assisted therapy looks like (which is amazing!). I am so inspired by Bailee and her heart for serving people!
