Bailei Gavin Drapkin

Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, Supervised By Megan Talmo, LMFT

Bailei is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who is known for her warmth, empathy, and down-to-earth style. She understands that reaching out for support can feel intimidating, so she works hard to create an environment where you feel comfortable being yourself with no pressure and no judgment. Just a safe space to talk.

She enjoys working with individuals, couples, and families from all walks of life, and she brings genuine curiosity and compassion to every session. Whether you’re feeling stuck, going through a transition, or simply looking for extra support, Bailei believes that therapy can be a place to feel heard and supported while also discovering new tools to handle life’s ups and downs.

Bailei has a particular passion for supporting people who have participated in treatment programs. She knows how challenging it can be to move from a structured program back into everyday life. That shift can bring a mix of emotions of excitement, uncertainty, and even fear. Bailei walks alongside her clients during this transition, helping them build on the progress they’ve already made, develop healthy coping strategies, and find stability in their day-to-day lives.

Bailei sees therapy as a team effort where your voice and strengths lead the way. Instead of focusing only on what feels “wrong,” she helps highlight what’s already working well in your life and builds from there. Her goal is not just to help you manage challenges but to help you feel more confident and hopeful about the future.

If you’ve been considering therapy but have hesitated to take the first step, Bailei offers a space where you can show up just as you are. She works with Aetna insurance and she also works with Victims of Crime cases through CalVCB, ensuring greater access to care for those who need it.
