Recently, I connected with Christine as my therapist. She has made me feel understood, welcomed to discuss what is on my mind, and help me navigate difficult situations that I’ve experienced in my life. I would recommend her to anyone I know! She’s awesome at what she does.

Hands way up in the air to praise God, that Christine Baker knows what she's doing. Thank you for listening and only responding when I was ready to hear. In my jumble of words, there was the answer; you waited to show me that and spoke like a friend. Again, thank you Christine.

When I first started this counseling journey, I was feeling very anxious, depressed, and lost. I was open and honest with Christine and she said that if I put the work in, I could get through it. She was right! I was amazed how quickly and effectively she was able to understand me and my issues and through deep conversations, homework , and practicing behavioral changes, I am now feeling so much peace and confidence.
