Hello! I'm Victoria Baker, a dedicated and empathetic therapist who enjoys working with adolescents and adults. Witnessing transformation and growth during pivotal life stages is incredibly rewarding. My goal is to empower clients, foster healthy coping, and build skills for fulfilling lives. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients are heard and understood. Tailoring each session to individual needs, preferences, and goals, I view clients as experts in their lives.

I work with a wide range of clients, many of whom share similar challenges—work and organizational stress, health concerns, grief and loss; or are experiencing other difficulties, such as PTSD and other traumas (including compassion fatigue), depression, or anxiety. My approach is person-centered, focusing on you, the client, and the moment-to-moment engagement, discovering insights together. I can help you discover insights into barriers, and the constructive solutions to overcoming those barriers. Each person has the right to live a life free of negative thoughts and experiences—a life of healthy well-being.

My passion is people and the therapeutic effect of authentic human connection. It's from a socially safe platform that we begin to really heal. By exploring the lens we're used to, we make space for new perspectives. Learning how you're wired creates opportunity make decisions about what you think, how you feel and what you can and are willing to do about it in order to connect to the self and heal. My clinical lens is rooted in the understanding of and respect for the gut-brain/heart-immune-mind axis, making my approach truly holistic. People deserve to be fed while learning to fish and I love treating people, not diseases.

We are committed to restoring you to your best. Using an individualized, client-centered approach, we work with you to identify strengths and deepen relationships for sustainable and holistic change. At Cascades Wellness Center, our team offers extensive experience as well as a holistic approach to mental health and wellness. Through awareness, compassion, and acceptance, we work with our clients to return you to the life you want and deserve. For us, therapy is not about fixing what is wrong, but about recapturing your capacities to increase your overall health, well-being, and sense of connection in the world.

Are you hoping to develop a deeper connection with yourself? I would love to help. I am passionate about empowering my clients to take charge of their life choices, whether in relationships, at work, and in the world at large. Do you find yourself navigating through self-doubt? Are you adjusting to new environments, and having a hard time trusting yourself? I offer a warm and safe space in which you can rediscover your strengths, and figure out how you may be reliving the past in ways that are not helping you achieve the happiness you deserve.

UPDATE: I have room for 2-3 new clients that can pay out of pocket (I hate writing this, but it's the reality for therapists in the world of managed care).However, I am also diversifying my career and and am open to many clients as a trauma writing mentor/editor and more. Writing through healing is at least of equal value to psychotherapy.

I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, self esteem, SUD, and struggles related to life transitions. I help clients find the solid ground they need to support forward movement and a more positive trajectory. I begin by working with clients in developing a deeper understanding of themselves to arm them with the knowledge necessary to address their problems and make changes necessary to develop more adaptive coping strategies and improve the quality of their lives. I am non-judgmental and work to create a space in which clients can freely explore, uncover, and accept themselves more fully to live fuller, more meaningful lives.

There are many different reasons people spend time seeking the help of a professional counselor. Some have a specific targeted problem they wish to overcome. Others need a safe and comfortable space to talk to a nonjudgmental person outside of their usual friends and family. While still others may need help navigating their interpersonal relationships. Whatever your reason is for seeking counseling, it is my goal to help you overcome those issues in your own journey to healing.
