I work with clients of all ages to help cultivate healthy coping skills for day to day life. I am a firm believer in my favorite quote by John Milton: "The mind is its own place and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven." At times, even the most self-aware individual can benefit from gaining outside perspective to how they handle daily obstacles. With a special emphasis on mindfulness, I help clients identify tools they often forget they already have in their possession to be their healthiest, and happiest selves.
My specialties consist of working with those suffering from women's issues, eating disorders, depression, anxiety and marital/relationship issues. My goal as a therapist is to serve as a crutch in an empathetic, judgment-free environment where my clients can practice being present and learn to overcome negative thoughts on their own.
I am also a pilates instructor, so my sessions tend to emphasize a strong emphasis on a mind body connection. I believe a healthy mind, healthy spirit and healthy body are intertwined. We are our best selves when we treat the three with compassion and grace.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Callie Baquero. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I was very hesitant to try Better Help. The first two times I started to sign up for it, I didn't end up committing or speaking to a therapist. When I came back the third time and was matched to Callie's profile, I felt comfortable and like she was someone who could help me.
This initial feeling I had is consistent with what I've experienced in our sessions. She's kind, patient and has a wonderful ability to know what I'm trying to say, even if I'm struggling to put it into words. I have not once felt like I was being judged, but rather supported as we talk and she helps me to find a way to work through what I'm going through. I've already recommended Better Help to several people based on the very positive experience I've had with Callie.
