About Darcy Bailey & Associates

We have impacted the lives of thousands of clients over 17 yrs of being in practice and we are grateful to have maintained the continued trust in our services from various professionals in the community and from those who have direct experiences with us. Our reputation of excellence and helping people of all ages to thrive in their life through change & growth, has become our Legacy.

As much as we have served many, we’ve been honoured to have also learned from our clients. We know how important relationships are and our human need for connection:

to be seen, heard, accepted and understood.

One of the greatest gifts we can offer anyone is the awareness of a new possibility for a better life. Many have shared with us that they found their happiness and are living a better life – a life they deserve.

We fundamentally believe that you are not broken and don’t need fixing. We work from a strengths perspective and apply various proven effective therapeutic modalities, personalized for your unique needs – to us, you are not just a number – and we understand that you have specific needs. Our therapists not only prioritize a genuine connection, but practice with strong foundations in training & knowledge, as well as a developed expertise through experience.

In therapy, there are tools to learn, skills to apply, practice to be done, things to understand, insights to be gained and experiences to be had – and we will help you with it all. You can also expect to be respectfully challenged .. which we know is where the growth edge is.

Our therapists provide a safe space or non judgement and compassion. The space is sacred and a place where healing, learning and growth takes place, so that you can live a life you love .. and thrive.

Meet Darcy

Founder, Therapist, Author & Clinical Director

Before anything else, I’m a human being—someone who has also walked through anxiety, trauma, healing, and growth. Those experiences shape the compassion and understanding behind everything I do.

As a therapist and published author, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people heal the mind, heart, and spirit so they can live with authenticity, clarity, confidence, and connection.

This practice has been thoughtfully curated with genuine care, bringing together a team of committed, compassionate professionals who genuinely love what they do. We believe in creating a space that feels safe, supportive, and deeply human—because healing happens through real connection.

Every day, I’m honoured to witness people’s courage and transformation and to lead a team that shares one mission: helping individuals, couples, and families across the Langley community and beyond create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

Why the Dragonfly?

As therapists, every interaction has the power to create human connection, through presence. Presence leads to ‘dragonfly moments’.​

We want everyone to experience the power of a dragonfly moment.

Around 2006, I (Darcy) was deeply immersed in art therapy training (aka soul work expansion through creativity) and moving through a lot of personal changes. Images of dragonflies kept showing up in my creative work, consciously unintended .. unconsciously intended. I didn’t know why and it didn’t seem to be all that meaningful at the time, but it was curious.

My beautiful daughter, who was little at the time, was playing in the yard on a hot summer day. I noticed a dragonfly that she seemed to be chasing – and then it seemed to follow her wherever she went. I can only describe a scene where for what seemed like a long period of time, she was ‘dancing’ with this dragonfly; experiencing an incredible interaction. Back and forth they would chase each other – a display of sheer delight, joy, wonder, curiosity and being fully present with the experience of life.

That moment crystallized time as a memory for me.

When I searched for the meaning of a dragonfly, I found the following:

My mom never met my daughter, having passed away years before she was born.

Upon reading the meaning of the dragonfly, I knew in that moment that the dragonfly interaction held a few potent messages for me. With simple pencil crayons, I sketched an image to capture that moment ~ and it became the logo for my work.

Everyone deserves happiness and to live life to the fullest.

We wish for everyone to have a dragonfly moment, where you are present to experience your life and all the wonder, joy, curiosity, peace and love that is available to you.
