Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I became a therapist to be able to help the needy and I am motivated to continue because I have a passion for the helping profession.

Dear Prospective Clients, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC) in the State of Texas and, a Board-Certified Counselor (BCCC) recognized by the National Association of Christian Counselors (NACC). I started out as a Teacher in Inner and Outer London schools in the United Kingdom working with children, adolescents, and their families. I have worked with clients from all walks of life, including clients from all faith/no faith background comprising of children, adolescents, adults, and their families. I am very passionate about Counseling and I believe that I can help the needy to stand strong and work towards gaining a sober/sound mind. This is achievable via entering into a therapeutic partnership as iron begins to sharpen iron according to the Christian word of faith. This is based on the believe that every human being is loaded with unique strength and potentials, and as we work together, those dormant strength and potentials will be reactivated and unleashed to enable my client to reach his/her desired goals.

I have always been fascinating with the human mind, behavior, pondering and analyzing why we do what we do. It seems from the root aspects of our life.

One Life Psychiatry is a holistic approach to mental health where we use limited side-effect profile medications, various modalities of therapy, and alternative remedies to help alleviate your symptoms and give you a optimal quality of life.

I learned through professional And personal experience that mental illness is tough, but often times treatable.  The right intervention, coupled with a skilled clinician can help mitigate psychic pain.  Providing a welcoming space for clients to download their narrative is one of the most important pieces of the work. This space is often times the only place clients can feel unburdened, and simultaneously connected.   Providing this support as a means of diminishing isolation is a unique and rewarding experience.  Sharing concrete tools and skills with clients overlaps with my passion for education.

I am a LICSW with over 20 years of experience.   My goal is to provide a safe space for clients to feel seen and heard. From this foundation, we can assess your current situation and develop concrete skills to help Improve your well being. 

Over the years, I have been asked this question quite a few times. I knew I wanted to be in the helping professions from the time I was in seventh grade. I didn't know exactly how, but I knew I was going to be in the field from the moment I took my first psychology. I just remember being so fascinated by what was taught. That was twenty-seven years ago! Today, as a therapist, I am still fascinated by what I do. I love helping people. I am motivated on a daily basis by watching my clients learn, improve and change their thinking and make better choices to improve the quality of their lives. It is so rewarding to watch people lift themselves up and begin to live the life they deserve. I've always said, this is the only thing I can imagine ever doing with my life. It is my calling.

Being able to help individuals, families, and couples become a better version of themselves. 

I am a solution focused therapist, who’s goal is to help individuals, families and couples uncover their true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can’t change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. 

I became a therapist for an array of reasons. My main reason was due to my own experiencing with caring for my youngest son mental health with the lack of support and services we encountered. Early 2000's some brown children with Autism's spectrum were not treated fair in society and my son was one of these children. I want to provide support and encouragement to each client that I meet, inspire them to be themselves.

My name is Sandy Baker. I am a licensed mental health counselor. In 2018, I obtained my Master of  Science in Education and my Certificate of Advanced Study in Mental health counseling degree at Alfred University, NY.  Empowering my clients is my primary goal as a practitioner in the mental health field. I work with children and adults of diverse backgrounds and genders to explore emotions, navigate challenges to create a positive fulfilling life. 

I first became a therapist because it balanced my love of analytical problem-solving with my love of helping others understand and care for themselves. Now that I am a few years in, I truly feel that I am a therapist because it is a way for me to make a positive impact on the world, even if that means just one person at a time.

Working from a feminist theoretical perspective, I feel that your unique voice deserves to be believed, be heard, and be taken seriously. I believe in creating a trusted space in which you feel comfortable to work through your difficulties, without fear of judgment or discrimination. My area of specialty is addiction.

I have experience working with both individuals and groups struggling with severe addictions.

I have helped many clients begin their gender transitions, including hormone replacement therapy and gender-affirming surgeries.

I am a survivor and I want to give back to other women as well. I am also motivated to help all other populations such as children, teens, men, women, and LGBTQ+ community with coping with today's society.

My own mental health journey combined with frustrations with attempts to find mental health for my students prompted me to become a counselor. The connections made with my clients and the honor of witnessing their journeys is what keeps me motivated to continue working as a therapist and counselor.

As a teacher of Deaf/HoH students, I was often frustrated with attempts at finding mental health providers who could communicate with my students in their preferred language. Throughout my years as a mother and teacher, the importance of addressing mental health early and effectively became painfully apparent. In my quest to find ways to support my children and my students, I found a new passion. Returning to graduate school was a scary endeavor, but one I am so glad I chose. Now I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, able to provide mental health counseling services to hearing people and Deaf/HoH people in whichever mode of communication they prefer. It is my honor to be invited into the lives of my clients and walk with them through their mental health journeys.

I went to graduate school at UCF and graduated with a masters in both Marriage and Family therapy and mental health therapy. Bringing healing to others has always been my passion. I became certified as a psychedelic integration therapist and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist when, 4 years ago, I healed myself of anxiety, deep depression, PTSD, and trauma with psychedelic medicine. Individuals today are finding instant relief (within hours and days) of their depression, anxiety, ptsd, trauma with psychedelic assisted therapy. 

Hello! I am a mental health therapist who works with individuals struggling with deep depression, (TRD) Treatment Resistant Depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic stress, trauma. I am also a certified Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist and Psychedelic Integration Therapist.
