Depression Therapists in Ooltewah, TN

I believe therapy should be a place for growth and healing. As a clinician, I understand it is difficult to take the first steps of going to therapy and opening up to someone about your life or retelling your story after many attempts in therapy. My aim is to provide a safe place where you feel comfortable and accepted to allow space for vulnerability and change. I am passionate about working with adolescents and young adults on healing old wounds and moving forward with a healthy life.

You’re discouraged that life isn’t measuring up to what you had hoped. You fake it so it seems like you have it all together, but you feel dissatisfied, hopeless, and empty. Feeling disconnected from the most important people in your life, and even from yourself has really taken its toll. I’m here to help. Life's hard and it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness, losing sight of what really matters. It becomes more characterized by depression, anxiety, conflict, loneliness, and addiction; more so than the peace and fulfillment that is desired. Distressing feelings like these is likely what brought you here, hoping for help!

The alarm sounds, and you face the new day with frustration and a sense of dread. Part of you wants to visit with friends, go watch a new movie, or go to the mall but in the end it all sounds too tiring and you just stay home. You wonder why waves of anger and confusion wash over you at times that do not make sense. You are carrying shock, pain, and fear from what has happened in your life and you are unsure how to heal. At times your mind races with painful or unwanted thoughts, peace and clarity seemingly lost forever. Life seems a confusing and frightening journey.

I am Rachel Baker, licensed clinical social worker and cancer survivor, who is intentional about prioritizing you! Are you experiencing fear of failure or fear of success, the need to always be on the go, emotional eating, difficulty sleeping, gastrointestinal problems, or a lifestyle that is not meeting your core needs? These symptoms indicate that mental wellness should be an area of focus in your daily life. Our mental health can be put on the back burner, but today you can choose to refocus on that part of you!

You're a go-getter. You value hard work and enjoy pushing yourself to accomplish your goals. You don't want to lose your drive, you just want to figure out how to strategically manage anxiety, stress, and perfectionism so they benefit instead of hinder you. Continuing to achieve is important to you and I'm not going to encourage you to put out that fire. Instead we'll find tools to help you regulate your anxiety and shift unhelpful beliefs. We'll explore your values and identify action steps to help you live a life in alignment with what matters most to you.

Our relationships teach us what to believe about ourselves: whether we are lovable, worthy, and good, and what to believe about the world around us, whether it's safe and trustworthy. When the relationships are hurtful, it becomes unsafe to rely on others, and we begin to believe the negative stories we've been taught. Asking for help is daunting and courageous, and you're here taking that step! Together, we will dive into your story so you can own the truths and put the falsehoods in their place while learning to love yourself and have the relationships that you deeply desire.

Anxiety has started to overwhelm your life. You wake up every morning with this anxious feeling in your gut that you can’t seem to shake. It feels like it's sucking all of the oxygen out of your life. You're overwhelmed, full of self-doubt, and overall, exhausted. On top of that, you strive to perfect everything you do, and when you fall short, it only feels to reinforce this idea that you’ll never be good enough. Complicate that with being a young woman who is already flooded with negative messages that seem to validate your fears, and it feels like a recipe that is headed for disaster. You know there's more to life than this.
