About Heather Baker
Heather Baker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with six years of clinical experience. She holds a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling, a graduate credential that prepared her to assess and treat a wide range of emotional and relational concerns. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, LGBT issues, family dynamics, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, anger, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD.
In addition to those specialties, Heather gives attention to areas that often intersect with mental health, including chronic pain, illness, and disability, co-morbidity, codependency, commitment and control issues, communication difficulties, dependent personality traits, dissociation, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness or isolation, fatherhood-related concerns, forgiveness, impulsivity, and jealousy. Her background supports work across individual, family, and relational contexts where these patterns appear.
Clinically, she draws from a variety of evidence-informed approaches to match each person’s needs. Her toolkit includes Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Heather tailors treatment to each person, combining skill-building with exploration of the origins of symptoms to help people develop practical strategies and deeper insight.
She approaches care with warmth, compassion, and straightforward clinical feedback while respecting cultural and spiritual backgrounds. Heather emphasizes collaboration, treating the individual as the expert in their life and offering guidance and tools to navigate challenges and build resilience.
