Hello and Welcome~ My name is Rachel Baker and I am a licensed clinical social worker and cancer survivor who focuses on helping others to prioritize their mental health. I started my private practice to help others realize that prioritizing their life is a necessity, and not an option. I continue the work because I know that it is transformative once a decision is made to prioritize self.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During your first visit, you can expect genuine warmth and authenticity as I listen to your unique story. In addition to learning about your presenting needs, I want to learn about what brings you joy, a time when you completed a goal, and what you may expect to gain from therapy? I will work with you to unpack the mental fatigue, build your resilience, and provide techniques that fit your needs and also interests.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a provider is first having a therapeutic relationship with clients that allow them to feel comfortable with being vulnerable and not just transparent. I believe my strengths continue with being able to dig until we find the root causes of one's debilitating symptoms so that we can tell the root stories in order to build back a stronger you.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work with clients who are motivated to show up and be themselves in the therapy room. I find my clientele desire to move from a performance-driven to a purpose-driven mindset. These clients display a deep need to unhook from cycles due to trauma, unresolved emotional patterns, employment dissatisfaction, and overall unhealthy lifestyles that are not enhancing their physical, emotional, or psychological health. These clients come in to let their guard down, learn healthy coping strategies, and create a routine that is fueled by intentionality and not urgency.
