Jennifer Baker

I combine a ‘wholistic’ approach for all my clients, from children to adults, using science and evidence-based techniques which may help them get emotionally regulated and make steps towards being their best selves. I work on developing real solutions 'here and now'​ for personal, family, social, and vocational challenges.

In my sessions, I use tools like EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, the Flash Technique, Safe and Sound Protocol, and other therapies rooted in mindfulness and science, which I have seen to positively impact treatment outcomes.

For behavioral problems and trauma in children from 3-12 years old, I utilize Child-Centered Play Therapy to create an arena where they can solve their own problems through metaphorical play. This can help develop self-esteem, mastery, and confidence to bring into their world. The basic skills used in sessions and taught to parents teach simple, choice-based parenting to bring into the home as a new healthy habit of interaction.

I provide services for adults, families, and children with trauma, anxiety, school refusal, and behavioral challenges.
