President / Founder

Dr. Baker’s approach to therapy is driven by the power of relationship. A healthy therapeutic relationship provides a safe space to encourage, challenge, and support the client through whatever the situation or circumstance. This same concept is found in the Intensive Outpatient and Partial Hospitalization curriculum, which is focused more on building the necessary relationship to allow the client to process feelings and emotions in a safe and supportive environment.

Although a healthy therapeutic relationship is the key to motivate change, there are specific techniques that are. used that can significantly help clients process their feelings while also engaging their logical brain. To engage the logic brain means they can learn, apply, and practice these techniques by choice rather than at the whim of emotion.

“I believe the therapeutic process is less about technique and more about relationship. When there is a healthy and appropriate therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client there is a great motivation for change.”
