Has life been feeling more difficult lately? Are all of your go-to self help efforts falling short, leaving you feeling stuck, helpless or defeated? Let’s figure this out together. It is my passion to help couples and individuals make intentional steps towards healing and getting “unstuck”. I recognize the importance of taking time to learn about your unique life experiences and relationship stories. As well as to collaborate with you to reach your relationship or personal goals for therapy. Together we create an individualized therapy plan with practical skills and realistic strategies that you can adapt to your daily life.

I am motivated by a commitment to helping individuals and couples navigate their paths toward fulfillment and happiness, I am devoted to offering the essential support and guidance you seek. If you find yourself caught in a cycle of negativity or besieged by the overwhelming pressures of life, know that you are not alone. Together, we can break free from these confines and rediscover the profound joy and meaningful connections that are rightfully yours. It's time to embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, where you can reclaim control over your life. Let's take this transformative step forward together.

There is no human experience of sin nor suffering that God cannot redeem. As a pastoral counselor, I love walking alongside people as they witness this great reality shown to be true in their own lives through the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I often meet with people who have helplessly come to the end of themselves and relationships or who have lost hope in the power and presence of God in their lives. The good news is that these are the exact moments that God often uses to transform our brokenness into realities he calls beautiful.

I approach treatment from a worldview that believes individuals are unique and gifted, created with meaning and purpose, and made to have a relationship with God and others. Because of brokenness in ourselves and in the world, we experience conflict and struggle, often severe enough to impact our ability to function each day and find joy in living. When we are able to understand our experiences in context of what is true, healing begins.

Life throws a lot at us every day. Over time stressors build up, especially in our busy lives. Maybe you are having relationship problems with your spouse or partner and you don't know what to do. Maybe your teenager is doing poorly in school, acting out, or even using drugs. Perhaps you are struggling with depression, anxiety or your spirituality. Maybe you need the healthy integration from your psychedelic work, to address your mental health and personal growth. Life can be overwhelming. Whatever the problem- relief is in your reach. I want to help you work towards reclaiming your life, your family, and a healthy future.

My clinical focus has included addressing life stress/transitions, depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, personality disorders, communication, and self-esteem.

Are you struggling emotionally? Dealing with a life event wondering how you’re going to make it through? Maybe you just don’t feel like yourself anymore. Well I would love to help you grow! My approach to counseling is recognizing that individuals are more than their mental health. We are all physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental beings, with varying levels of needs.

Welcome! While the decision to seek help can be daunting, I'm glad you're here! You came to the right place.  I am Alicia Joseph Baker, a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience working with individuals, families, and service members. I am dedicated to helping others. Through our partnership, you can expect a nonjudgmental space where you'll tap into your strengths, develop the coping skills necessary to navigate life and accomplish goals.

There are challenging seasons in everyone’s life that may lead to anxiety, depression, stress, relational strain, hurt, anger, and grief. But God didn’t intend for us to walk through life alone, nor to carry our burdens alone. My desire as a Christian Counselor is to come alongside you during these difficult times, to be an encouragement to you, a sounding board when you need to vent, an accountability partner when you need to change, and a reminder of hope when you feel you’ve lost your way. You do matter, and you are worth dedicating the time to find healing and wholeness.

Every person is a unique individual and it is important to consider all of the life factors affecting how each client experiences and thinks about life. Such factors may include family life, work, social environment, social supports, past experiences, physical needs (rest, diet & nutrition, exercise, etc.), spiritual beliefs, and mental well-being. I use methods that best meet each client's individual needs, and encourage my clients to work collaboratively throughout the counseling process.

As your therapist, I understand that you seek a safe, supportive space to navigate life's challenges, whether it's coping with grief, improving relationships, or addressing anxiety. Your goal is to find peace, resilience, and a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences. You want to feel heard, valued, and empowered to make positive changes.

If ya'll are ready to grow, I'm ready to walk alongside of you. Are you motivated yet confused and hurting, too? You’re not alone. Relationships are tough and require a lot of work. That becomes even more tricky when the world is in crisis. Or, when you feel like you are in the midst of crisis. To be honest, your partner needs you, your children need you, your friends need you, and your family needs you. But mostly, you need you. You deserve the freedom to vent, unload your fear, and make space for peace and change.
