Alexis M. Bailey, MD, Psychiatrist

Verified by yext

Alexis Bailey, MD is a psychiatrist at the UVM Medical Center and an assistant/associate professor of adult, child and adolescent psychiatry at the Larner College of Medicine. Her research interests include health and wellness and social and affective neuroscience.  Dr. Bailey practices evidence-based psychiatry with compassion and an understanding that no two people are exactly alike. As a result, she believes that treatment plans should reflect the whole person and not only their diagnosis. In treating the whole person, Dr. Bailey focuses on whole-body health, promoting behaviors including proper sleep hygiene, healthy nutrition, creative self-expression, reading and learning, physical movement, mindfulness/meditation, and social connection.   This approach to care supports the health and wellbeing of the whole person and family, and involves getting to know what matters to each patient and/or family and developing a plan based on their values, needs and goals. Dr. Bailey believes this is an important component of psychiatric management, alongside standard treatments such as therapy and medication.  Learn more about psychiatry at the UVM Medical Center.
