Carla Baker

If life has knocked the wind out of you and you no longer recognize yourself, you don't have to find your way back alone. Welcome! My name is Carla Renee Baker, I am an LPC in Pennsylvania. I work with adults as a Identity and life transition therapist. Those who are no longer simply trying to survive—they're trying to understand who they've become. Together we explore identity, relationships, values, family patterns, meaning, and self-trust using an integrative approach informed by existential, family systems, feminist, and trauma-informed perspectives. Therapy is collaborative, curious, and reflective, inviting clients to reconnect with themselves rather than fit someone else's expectations. Maybe healing isn't about becoming someone else. It's about remembering who you've always been beneath the pain, the expectations, and the survival. If you're ready to rediscover that person, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

I help people reconnect with who they are after life has changed them. By making connections through different clinical theories to understand and answer: Who am I after trauma? Who am I after divorce? Who am I after burnout? Who am I after motherhood? Who am I after caregiving? Who am I when I stop living for everyone else? In my sessions, I use existential theory, feminist theory and family systems.

During our first session we will uncover what your needs are and what direction we are headed in. It's like we are just having coffee together, talking about what brought you in and what your goals are in our work together.
