Teletherapy for Missouri

Touchstone was founded in 2005 by Dr. Cindy Baker. Her dream was to create a place that any member of the community could turn to without fear of stigma or ridicule by creating a safe setting and discreet healing environment. Telehealth permits our team to work with all Missouri residents with their counseling needs. We offer executive coaching, life coaching, community talks, workshops and seminars, anger management, court-ordered services, parenting education. Dr. Baker is offering a Mental Health Urgent Care model in her practice for extreme traumatic needs to reduce wait time for a session.

We are not meant to live life alone, but rather deeply involved in relationships. Some of these relationships are highly successful, while others have come with great loss, significant struggle or just the every day difficulty of learning to live and enjoy life with another person. I believe in the value of working through personal problems in the context of building stronger relationships. I will help you work through this on a personal level or with whomever you are needing to have a restored relationship with.

I work with clients experiencing emotional, cultural, sexual health, and relationship concerns. We spend time processing your situation and feelings and finding solutions that work for you. I recognize each client is an individual and treat them as such. Let's work together to help you walk in your truth. I've completed all 3 levels of Gottman Method Couples Therapy training, Treating Affairs & Trauma, Couples and Addiction Recovery, CBT for Insomnia, and am enrolled in Sex Therapy Certification through SHA. I also enjoy working with people in poly and ethically non-monogamous relationships and individuals in the kink community.

I believe we all have the right to our own belief systems but often times sharing those with someone who is a complete stranger can be intimidating. I offer you a safe space to be YOU. I am a spiritual being that is open to embracing dialogue around non-traditional ways of thinking and believing. Because the client-therapist is an important relationship, my goal is to provide a high-quality service to you that includes quick and responsive communication as well as a huge library of resources to give you the tools you need for an action based and humanistic therapy process. I enjoy working with women and couples!

Life is a journey, a journey that is most difficult when traveled alone. I strive to walk with clients on their path towards healing and happiness. Working from a client-centered approach, it is essential for me to understand each client as an individual to develop trust and a partnership in therapy. Relationships, trauma, careers and other stressors take a toll on a person's ability to flourish. I believe that each person has potential for growth from those experiences. My goal is to help you regain your footing on your path to living a full and vibrant life.

It is important to me that all individuals feel welcome and supported during the counseling process and I am passionate about creating a safe and secure atmosphere to assist clients in overcoming whatever challenges they might be facing. I have worked with a diverse population of clientele, including teen and adult members of the LGBTQ+ community, and have experience working in a residential setting to help children and their families overcome trauma, behavioral, and mental health issues. I also have experience working with adult individuals and couples to improve their relationships and overall well-being.

I work with people who, as a result of their painful past, experience overwhelming emotions, frequent triggers and feel stuck in self-defeating behavior. I gently point to the healing of mind and spirit that frees them from their pasts, creates structure and confidence within themselves and promotes an intentional and personally satisfying life. My clinical experience over the last 17 years has given me the opportunity to stand in awe of how God heals individuals and couples, He brings beauty out of the chaos and pain and deepens our understanding of ourselves, each other and most importantly His grace in our lives.

We all deserve meaningful music experiences all the way to the end of life, no matter what cognitive or physical limitations might be getting in the way. That's why we provide home-based and teletherapy music therapy services for older adults and their caregivers - to bring the benefits of music to older adults who may struggle to get out of the house for therapy services.

Trauma is a word used a lot today, but what is it? I like to keep it general and say it’s our response to knowing we’ve lost control over our own safety or the safety of those we love. If you’ve experienced a trauma you might have noticed going through a period of shock or even denial. Then, longer-term effects such as flashbacks, unpredictable emotions, strained relationships, and physical symptoms like chronic pain. Whether you have experienced a recent trauma, have effects of a trauma from decades ago or just need some guidance for yourself or your family, reaching out to a therapist is a great step.

"This is not how I wanted things to be!" or "I shouldn't be feeling this way." Thoughts like these run through your mind when life does not seem to work out. You have dreams and plans, but they don't seem to work out. You have done everything you know to do, and it is not enough. You feel like there must be answers you don't have access to. You feel frustrated and hopeless and need another perspective from someone outside the situation. You need someone who can listen and help you see patterns and themes in your life that feel invisible to you.

It’s okay to say, "I'm not okay." If trying to return to “normal life” post pandemic is harder than you thought & you’re sad or anxious and not sure why- you are not alone. Life is messy but good therapy ends. Maybe your life looks nothing like it did two years ago & you’re reeling and only now catching your breath and struggling to breathe. Maybe your life looks the same and you feel different but you’re stuck, overwhelmed and don’t know what to do next. What we allow will continue & lasting change requires work. Often starting the work & reaching out is a daunting task but when we avoid our stories, that's when they define us.

I realize that today there is a tremendous amount of stress on individuals. Depression and anxiety abound because of the sheer amount of stress persons are facing.
