Accepting New Clients. Authentic, respectful, accepting: I offer a therapeutic relationship and evidence-based treatment to help you live your best life. I believe that unresolved issues and problems have the power to control the direction of our lives and cause real pain. This pain can take the form of depression, anxiety, trouble regulating emotion, sleep problems and poor self esteem. Problems in relationships as well as coming to terms with loss can often be the hardest ones. Difficulties at work and questioning career choice are other important areas of our life that can be negatively effected.

Welcome to The Family Center. We provide therapy services to individuals, couples, families, and children.

My goal is to help you learn to deal successfully with the challenges in your life. These challenges may come from inside yourself, or they may come from dealings with the outside world. I want to supply a warm, supportive, confidential, and non-judgmental environment. I want to understand you and what is troubling you; then, I will work with you to find solutions that are individualized for you. My emphasis is on practical, evidence based methods for helping people. I have advanced training in several forms of individual, couple and family therapy models.

You feel unheard, overextended, and unable to keep up. You're stressed and aren't taking care of yourself like before. You feel anxious and isolated and it's destroying your relationships with others, making work difficult and distracting you from your goals. You've lost sight of your needs and wonder if you will ever feel good again.

Change is a phenomenon that we all face. We will repeat painful patterns over and over in effort to avoid change. I believe that everyone has the power to create positive change in their lives and relationships. Often times a therapeutic alliance can facilitate that change in a safe environment. If you believe you are ready to grow as an individual, couple, or family, I would be honored to assist you in your journey.

Hello, I am Christine Tyrrell Baker, PhD and I am the founder of WellBeing CNY. We specialize in working with people who feel stuck and want to try a new approach. People benefit from our services who are feeling fearful, overwhelmed, on edge, helpless, hopeless, or tired. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or symptoms of PTSD which persist despite many attempts at treatment. They may notice stress-related symptoms in their bodies. We specialize in working with adults and adolescents to become better at coping with the stress in their lives.

All people face challenges at certain times in their lives. We provide individual, family, and group therapy with a focus on helping anxious and depressed children and adults, frustrated and overwhelmed parents, and families struggling with a variety of challenges or just looking to improve their relationships. We will work with you to identify your needs and goals and provide you with the tools and skills you need to reach them in a supportive and confidential environment.

I am currently accepting new clients for both in-person and telehealth therapy. I understand how difficult it can be for some to ask for help. Whether you're considering entering therapy for the first time, or have prior experience, the first priority is on developing a sense of safety in the therapy session. Once a trusting connection is developed, I allow the client to identify their own goals. I believe therapy is about change, but the type of change we work toward and the pace with which we work, is determined by the client. I provide support and guidance in this process.

Offering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy! I specialize in holistic and body-based approaches to healing complex trauma, dissociative disorders, anxiety and depression. My clients often come to me feeling as if they are living their lives in fight or flight mode, experiencing overwhelming anxiety that results in shame or unrelenting self-criticism. Often they feel stuck in conflict within their own heads, trapped in a cycle of wanting to create change but feeling unable to make it happen. If this sounds like you, I am here to help you reclaim hope and uncover your inner healing.

Each of us have faced painful personal experiences. Pain can be due to events, interactions with others or troubled relationships. Or they can be caused by negative behavior or thought patterns that won’t stop. Sometimes we can address such troubles on their own. However, if you have been unable to resolve difficult issues alone, you may realize how they reduce the quality of your life – by establishing a pattern of emotional problems, an inability to interact productively with others, impacting your career, negatively affect relationships, or create problematic habits. But they can be addressed with help. My hours are M-F 8-4

We believe strongly in the importance of a healthy mind for whole-body wellness. If you experience stress, anxiety, avoidance, loss of motivation or passion, hardships in your relationships or feel disconnected from yourself or others you may wonder how to get unstuck or cope with these challenges. Counseling can help with developing greater self-acceptance and awareness, improved interpersonal relationships, healthier perspectives to our problems, better management and understanding of our emotions, and regulating our nervous system. We are here to help guide you through your journey to empowerment, healing and personal growth.
