Offering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy! I specialize in holistic and body-based approaches to healing complex trauma, dissociative disorders, anxiety and depression. My clients often come to me feeling as if they are living their lives in fight or flight mode, experiencing overwhelming anxiety that results in shame or unrelenting self-criticism. Often they feel stuck in conflict within their own heads, trapped in a cycle of wanting to create change but feeling unable to make it happen. If this sounds like you, I am here to help you reclaim hope and uncover your inner healing.

Hello, I am Christine Tyrrell Baker, PhD and I am the founder of WellBeing CNY. We specialize in working with people who feel stuck and want to try a new approach. People benefit from our services who are feeling fearful, overwhelmed, on edge, helpless, hopeless, or tired. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or symptoms of PTSD which persist despite many attempts at treatment. They may notice stress-related symptoms in their bodies. We specialize in working with adults and adolescents to become better at coping with the stress in their lives.

Accepting New Clients. Authentic, respectful, accepting: I offer a therapeutic relationship and evidence-based treatment to help you live your best life. I believe that unresolved issues and problems have the power to control the direction of our lives and cause real pain. This pain can take the form of depression, anxiety, trouble regulating emotion, sleep problems and poor self esteem. Problems in relationships as well as coming to terms with loss can often be the hardest ones. Difficulties at work and questioning career choice are other important areas of our life that can be negatively effected.

I am currently accepting new clients for both in-person and telehealth therapy. I understand how difficult it can be for some to ask for help. Whether you're considering entering therapy for the first time, or have prior experience, the first priority is on developing a sense of safety in the therapy session. Once a trusting connection is developed, I allow the client to identify their own goals. I believe therapy is about change, but the type of change we work toward and the pace with which we work, is determined by the client. I provide support and guidance in this process.

My goal is to help you learn to deal successfully with the challenges in your life. These challenges may come from inside yourself, or they may come from dealings with the outside world. I want to supply a warm, supportive, confidential, and non-judgmental environment. I want to understand you and what is troubling you; then, I will work with you to find solutions that are individualized for you. My emphasis is on practical, evidence based methods for helping people. I have advanced training in several forms of individual, couple and family therapy models.

Living our best life authentically with our values and principles is possible yet difficult at times. There are challenges in our own potential and sometimes we carry that into relationships we have with ourselves, parents, children, significant others, friends, teachers and/or coworkers. The therapeutic relationship is the foundation to personal growth. The focus in my practice is psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults. I work in developing a trusting, safe, supportive environment so you are able to develop strategies to improve your overall quality of life through various therapeutic modalities.
