Client Testimonials

I was introduced to Dr. Beth Baker after having experienced the limitations of talk therapy. I was managing tremendous compound trauma and was having difficulty coping. The suffering had me struggling to do basic things, as I was routinely becoming overcome with sorrow.

From the moment I started working with Dr. Baker, she offered not just an ear, but a genuine understanding. Through tapping and working with bilateral stimulation of the brain, I became clearer and more at peace.

It takes a special practitioner to work with people in active trauma - to offer tools and also parameters to work within. Dr. Beth did exactly this. She provided a safe space for me not only to speak about concerns (which alone can be triggering) but to work through trauma into a place of greater self regulation. 

I respect and highly recommend her and her work, as she is gifted and deeply connected with how wounds impact our mind and our health.

I have had regular phone counseling sessions with Dr. Baker for the past two years and I can confidently say that her unique talents have led to my improvement overall.   She is a gem.

I had gone through life (up to my 50's) very suppressed, and it hurt me in the professional sphere.  I was also self-sabotaging in the area of my health and personal appearance. I had attracted an emotionally abusive spouse.  I was sabotaging my relationship with my young son with unpredictable fits of rage, when rage was the last thing I ever wanted to expose him to.  

I now understand that my childhood with a narcissistic mother caused me to suppress my true nature and develop behaviors that were undermining me. Dr. Baker took her magnifying glass to me and went to work.  She has just the right balance of analytical skill, healing tools and compassion to have given me my best shot of undoing what doesn't serve me and creating new beliefs and habits that do.  I am a work in progress, but I've seen enormous gains, and for that I can thank Dr. Baker.

I don't offer refer clients to other counselors or coaches, but I have referred clients to the Rev. Dr. Baker. I knew she was qualified, having engaged in the peer review process with her on many occasions, but that didn't necessarily mean that she'd be the right fit for my clients.

Ultimately, I started making referrals to Dr. Baker for her calm demeanor and playful collaborative approach to working with clients to address complex familial patterns. Each of the clients that I referred to her were able to connect with her, and they haven't been disappointed. I've already received thank you letters from two former clients for referring them to Dr. Baker.

Beth was a huge source of support and insight during a very rough period of upheaval in my life. She was able to help me make sense of traumatic events and gain clarity into the best route forward. 

I appreciate that she always had the courage to speak plainly without sugar-coating difficult messages I needed to hear and implement. 

Beth was also very generous with her time and went above and beyond to make herself available when I needed it most. She was extremely perceptive and able to read into what I was trying to communicate with empathy and understanding. 

Her ability to identify faulty thinking patterns and apply effective strategies that deliver real-time results set her apart as an outstanding counselor.

Beth and I have been working together for just over a year now. I originally began working with Beth because I felt lost on the path I was on and knew deep down there were some deep rooted traumas that I wasn't able to face without guidance.

In my time working with Beth, she has encouraged me to self-reflect on my life and has helped me understand deep rooted trauma and false beliefs that impact me and those I am in relationship with. 

Beth's teachings have helped me bring awareness to behaviors and aspects of myself that I have adopted from generations, that were not intended by God. The work that Beth has to offer is remarkable and has been life-changing.
