Rebecca Baker

Rebecca Baker

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Iowa


Hello, I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a passion for helping individuals find balance, clarity, and fulfillment through personalized, evidence-based mental health care. I bring over a decade of healthcare experience and a deep commitment to compassionate, collaborative treatment.

I earned my Master of Science in Nursing and a post-graduate certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health through Purdue University Global, after completing my BSN at Western Governors University and my ASN at Des Moines Area Community College. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals across the lifespan and a wide range of mental health needs.

In addition to private practice with Good Life Therapy since late 2023, I also serve as a psychiatric provider at Mary Greeley Medical Center’s Outpatient Behavioral Health Clinic. These roles allow me to stay connected to both community-based and clinical psychiatric care, and ensure that I continue using the most current, research-driven tools and approaches available.

My treatment philosophy is rooted in the belief that mental wellness is deeply personal—and no two paths look the same. I work closely with each of my clients to develop a treatment plan that’s not only effective, but sustainable and aligned with their goals, values, and lifestyle. Whether we’re addressing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, or simply building resilience—I’ll meet you where you are and walk with you toward where you want to be.
