Dr. Laurae Baker

Dr. Laurae Baker is a licensed therapist with a Ph.D. in Counseling and a deep commitment to helping individuals and couples navigate life’s most challenging emotional landscapes. She specializes in treating anxiety, depression, grief, and loss, offering a steady, compassionate presence for clients seeking meaningful change.

An additional focus of Laurae’s work is supporting women and couples through perimenopause and menopause, a life stage that can bring profound emotional, physical, and relational shifts. She provides evidence‐based psychotherapy tailored to the unique challenges of this transition, helping clients address mood changes, irritability, identity shifts, and the sense of disconnection that can arise during hormonal change.

Whether guiding someone through a major life transition or helping a client reconnect with their sense of self, Laurae brings warmth, clarity, and a collaborative spirit to every session. Her approach is grounded, practical, and deeply attuned to the lived experience of the people she serves.

Laurae works from a humanistic, empowering, and solution‐focused framework that centers each client’s inherent strengths and capacity for growth. Her approach is collaborative and respectful of each person’s lived experience, emphasizing emotional safety, self‐understanding, and practical change.

Clients can expect a warm, grounded presence; a focus on what matters most to them; and a balance of reflective exploration with actionable steps that move them toward clarity, resilience, and meaningful change.

The initial appointment centers on getting to know the client’s story, concerns, and goals. Laurae invites clients to share at a pace that feels comfortable, asking thoughtful questions that help clarify what brings them in and what they hope to change or strengthen.

The goal is for clients to leave feeling seen, supported, and hopeful, with a sense that they’ve begun a meaningful and empowering process.
