If you've made it this far, you've already taken a huge step in starting the therapeutic process. I imagine you're going through endless amounts of identical looking pages and google searches in order to find a therapist you feel will be a good fit. It's an incredibly daunting task to search through all the pages and hope you find a therapist that you believe will be non-judgmental and trustworthy. How do you trust that out of all the countless web pages, you can find a therapist who is honest, non-judgmental, and safe for either yourself or someone you care deeply about. Maybe it can be helpful if I share about my background.

I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, couples, and families. I strive to create a safe, empathic, and supportive environment that is free of judgment. My treatment is solutions oriented and I'm highly motivated to support you in achieving your goals. Therapy is a collaborative endeavor and you are the expert of your own experience and I am a guide to facilitate your improvement by identifying your inborn strengths. I am grateful for the opportunity to support you in achieving your self-growth.

Have you wondered about your partner's reluctance to seek therapy? Perhaps you've approached him with a sincere, "Let’s try couples or family therapy. Something’s not right," only to be met with a bewildered look of confusion and indifference. Women often connect emotionally over coffee with girlfriends; men tend to bond through shared experiences, like watching sports. Navigating the growing pains of the language school of love and the different dialects of each other's hearts fluently is a natural part of a couple's life's journey, and this can also, undoubtedly, serve as a strain on the relationship. But you are not alone!

My practice specializes in marriage counseling and couple therapy. I also work with individuals on a wide-range of mental health, career transition, substance use, and life transition issues. I have worked with more than 2,800 couples in my career, addressing relationship concerns and finding solutions to chronic dissatisfaction, infidelity, poor communication, intimacy problems, and family conflict. For persons who are uncertain about remaining in their marriage, "discernment counseling" is available to help an ambivalent spouse gain clarity about their relationship commitment and options for bringing about needed change.

Are you seeking or considering professional help for you or a loved one? Are you having trouble knowing where to start or how to decide on a therapist? In my professional and personal experience, connection and building a genuine relationship is the foundation to successful therapy. However, searching for the right therapist for you or for a loved one can be a confusing and frustrating process. It is difficult to get a sense of someone's personality and energy through an online profile. If you relate with these feelings, I invite you to reach out and have a free, low-stakes phone conversation/consultation.

My goal is to help my clients deal with uncomfortable feelings and beliefs that lead to unhealthy choices and decisions. My belief is that most of us struggle with different forms of intimacy. Being vulnerable and taking chances is the key to building bonds with supports and our loved ones. Feel free to call for a brief free phone assessment.

Dr. Pamela Baker, Licensed Psychologist, earned her Bachelors Degree (B.A.) from the University of Miami with a major in Psychology and double minor in Sociology and French. She went on to earn her Masters Degree (M.S) and Doctoral Degree (Psy.D.) in Clinical Psychology at Nova Southeastern University. Dr. Baker currently works with a diverse population of individuals including children, adolescents, and adults. Dr. Baker’s main theoretical orientation is based on Carl Roger’s Humanistic Person-Centered counseling approach.

In the broadest terms, my practice centers on the idea of helping you to establish or restore greater authenticity--a more authentic voice, space of desire and trajectory of drive/motivation. This can be addressed through more short-term approaches that focus primarily on the present, or a deeper approach that considers and works through past experiences as they inevitably impact the present in ways not always available to consciousness. By uncovering these occluded forces left over from the past and lingering in the present, you will be able to develop broader insight and live more fully with greater intention.

Your life is good, but you just aren’t happy. On the outside you look like you have it all together, but you definitely don't feel that way. Sometimes you feel depressed or anxious and you don't know how to get out of it. You feel stuck and want things to change, but you just don’t know how to make that happen. You struggle to prioritize self-care and set healthy boundaries. Perhaps you're a college-aged female and are overwhelmed by the stress of school and the responsibilities of being a young adult. You aren't coping well and you're ready to learn effective coping skills from a therapist who gets you.

I have been in private practice for the past forty years working with individuals, couples and groups. Presently I am a relationship specialist for both couples and singles, specializing in infidelity and communication issues. I teach skill-based love because without good communication and conflict resolution skills, people act out with affairs rather than acting in and talking. I love working with couples " on the brink" no matter how hopeless a situation may feel. After an affair, a couple can create a better relationship than they had before. Healing and growth are possible. I want to help to make your relationships better.

Vulnerability is hard. The 'easier' choice is just not to talk about it. 'If I just don't think about it, I will be fine.' Sound familiar? It's a common coping strategy. One which consistently backfires as evidenced by the persistent emotional and/or relational problems continuing to appear in your life. What we resists persists. You want to feel heard, seen and understood. I assure you, you will. Remember you cannot heal what you refuse to feel. Reach out for a free consultation call today. You are one decision away from feeling better in your life. I'm here.

I believe that therapy is a way of learning not a way of living. My responsibility is to compel clients to act on their own behalf until they find their place of clarity and confidence sufficiently to recognize that the quality of their life is ultimately the result of their perceptions, choices and actions and not the events beyond their control.

Welcome! I would like to commend you for starting, or continuing, your process of therapy/counseling, as it takes much courage to look in the mirror and create awareness and change. People come into therapy for a wide array of reasons and concerns. In addition to mental/emotional issues, therapy can also be helpful for those who are looking to foster personal/professional growth. Others are just looking for a safe/objective place to talk. Whatever your reasons, I promise to meet you where you are and help you in your process of exploration, healing, growth, realization, and change. I would be honored to take part in your journey.

Does life feel overwhelming? Are you experiencing distressing symptoms? My overall goal for you is to create a space in which you feel safe to express your deepest thoughts, feelings, and concerns so you can grow organically and heal within. The safe space I aim to create ensures you feel understood and respected. I specialize in treating mood and personality disorders. Using a variety of humanistic, interpersonal, and behavioral techniques I aim to meet the specific needs of each client so they can discover themselves in new ways.

On the outside, you appear accomplished and driven, but on the inside, you're screaming with anxiety and frustration, constantly doubting yourself, and feeling like a fraud. You're so afraid of disappointing the people you love. It might even feel like you don't have any genuine relationships or connections in your life. It's hard for you to say no when others ask for help because you want to be the one that others can count on. Even though your accomplishments feel REALLY rewarding, it's starting to feel physically and emotionally exhausting just to live your daily life. Sometimes it feels like you have to hold everything inside.

Welcome! I would like to guide you on a journey that calms your mind and increases your sense of peace. If your critical thoughts and painful feelings are creating your reality, then you most likely feel drained and depleted. These thoughts and feelings are often defenses from the past that are no longer serving you. The goal of therapy is to understand the parts of you that are hurt and hidden from view. Therapy will enable you to feel freer to pursue the life you want. I specialize in treating people who are suffering from anxiety and depression, relationship issues, trauma, PTSD, domestic violence and sexual assault.
