I’m John Baker, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, specializing in trauma, relationships, and high-stress life transitions, including related issues such as anxiety, depression, and grief. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over two decades in military service, federal law enforcement, and corporate investigations, experiences that shaped my direct, grounded, and accountability-focused approach to therapy. I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, relationship conflict, and the long-term impact of high-responsibility roles, including first responders, veterans, and professionals. My work integrates evidence-based and trauma-informed modalities such as CBT, Brainspotting, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), somatic approaches, and structured couples work. Clients often describe me as calm, practical, and attuned—someone who understands both the psychological and real-world pressures they face. My goal is to help you move from surviving to functioning with greater clarity, emotional regulation, and connection, while respecting your pace and strengths.

I have an extensive background in supporting adolescents, adults and families experiencing anxiety and depression, survivors of trauma including complex trauma (a type of distress that develops from an upbringing in a dysfunctional family), as well as individuals battling addiction.
