Hi, I’m Kelly Baker! I specialize in trauma, grief, relationship issues, behavioral issues, anxiety, and depression. After three decades working with children, teens, and families — as a teacher and school administrator — I became a therapist to continue walking alongside those facing life’s hardest moments.

Whether you're navigating trauma, living with illness, moving through depression, or caring for a struggling child, you deserve space to be heard and supported. Therapy offers a place to bring your full self, without judgment. Your pain, questions, identity, and resilience are all welcome here.

My approach is collaborative and grounded in compassion. I’ll listen closely, offer support when needed, and help you connect with your own clarity and strength. Growth can be difficult—but you don’t have to go it alone.

You only get one wild and precious life. I’m here to help you carry what’s heavy, make sense of what’s confusing, and move toward what matters—with honesty, care, and deep respect for your story.

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” – Mary Oliver
