Liza Baker, Psychotherapy

Perhaps you are seeking a path of self-exploration or struggling with anxiety, depression or low self-esteem. You may need some additional time to talk and make some sense out the barriers to your personal goals. Or you may desire to learn practical skills to cope with your pain. Every person is unique, which means that our time together would be tailored to your particular needs based on cultural background, family dynamics and personal values. I am a Licensed psychotherapist and I have over 15 years of experience in clinical and professional counseling with adults, adolescents and children in private practice, community mental health and hospital settings. My counseling style is warm and compassionate, emphasizing the importance of providing a safe, strength-based, and non-judgmental space. I combine my therapeutic techniques with a holistic approach. I use evidence-based practices and psychotherapy treatments with strong research foundations, to include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). That means we work together to change those negative thoughts that keep my clients stuck in a path of anxiety and depression. I also promote active changes in behaviors such as good eating and sleeping habits, and a strong support network. These treatments address a variety of concerns including: Trauma and stress related disorders, Anxiety disorders, Depression, Relationship/family issues My therapeutic approach is tailored to each clients need by collaborating to develop specific treatment goals and helping to gain a better understanding of how your thoughts contribute to your feelings and behaviors. As a therapist, I am passionate about work that is collaborative in nature, forming a partnership to foster change and growth. “The ancestor of every action is a thought.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
