Laura Baker
Clinical Social Worker/Therapist - LCSW
Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I work with children, families, and adults. I frequently work with clients to address issues including anxiety, behavioral issues, trauma/abuse, foster care/adoption, depression, and coping with life stressors. As your therapist, I aim to help you create and find the support you need to tap into internal and external resources not only to resolve problems, but also to increase your capacity to experience life more fully, to grow, to become increasingly healthy and more whole. I aim to create an environment that invites mutual respect, acceptance, curiosity, and hope.I utilize a number of tools in my practice including talk therapy, expressive arts, play and sand therapy, and work collaboratively with you to honor your unique preferences and needs. I do my best to promote your healing and growth in the ways that work best for you.I have extensive experience working in various settings that promote positive social and emotional development in early childhood. I enjoy working with young children and their caregivers and families with issues related to parenting, behavioral challenges, developmental challenges, trauma, and foster care and adoption.
