My name is Shera Baker is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Providence, RI who sees a broad range of clients, including individuals with substance use issues, anxiety, grief, and depression. I have 15 yrs of experienced as a licenced clinician. Many of my clients are adults who are navigating a challenging life change, like going through a breakup, becoming a parent, or starting/graduating college. I also love working with older adults.
It’s often considered taboo to talk about mental health in many cultures and, or communities. Mental Health is stigmatized, viewed as a sign of weakness, inadequacy, abnormality making it feel very embarrassing or uncomfortable to talk about. It’s not and it’s very common and very healthy of individuals. I offer a safe, confidential, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment for you to address your individual mental health needs. I am passionate about my work and care about each of my clients. I take the time to understand their background and stories and ultimately want to help individuals realize and maximize their true potential. My office is located in Providence in the Calart Towers.
I utilize goal-oriented therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy to help my clients manage their symptoms and improve their day-to-day lives. I work with them to identify their triggers and develop healthy coping mechanisms. I take a team-oriented approach and frequently works with psychiatrists and primary care providers to ensure that my clients are receiving care for all of their mental and physical needs.
