You don’t have to go through grief or trauma alone. My clients often crave a space where they don’t have to “put on a brave face” but can be honest without fear of judgment. They are searching for hope and acceptance. They want to learn how to cope with their emotions and handle their relationships. I believe healing and moving forward happens when you can be your most authentic self. This healing isn’t about “getting over it,” but instead learning how to live in your new normal while sticking to your values. I am committed to providing a safe, affirming, and inclusive space for all clients. I am gender-affirming, an ally to LGBTQIA individuals and marginalized communities, and I strive to be culturally sensitive and respectful of diverse religious, spiritual, and cultural backgrounds. Your identity and experiences are honored and valued here. I completed my MSW from UGA where I focused on working with adults experiencing grief. My internship involved working in hospice, which is still a close subject to my heart. As a trauma-informed therapist, I hope to be a source of support for those who may not have the assistance they deserve during life's transitions, such as loss, illness, or college life. Therapy with me is like having coffee with a friend. There is no pressure, no judgment, just space to talk and be real. I like our sessions to unfold naturally while focusing on what matters most to you. If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, or even if you’re not sure where to start, I invite you to reach out!

Navigating the transition to college and early adulthood can be exciting, but it can also be incredibly stressful and overwhelming. Are you struggling to manage the pressures of academics, relationships, or being away from home? Do you find yourself constantly worrying, feeling down, or having difficulty sleeping? Are you experiencing conflict with parents, peers, or even professors? Are you questioning whether college is the right path for you, or if you're pursuing it due to external pressure? Everyone experiences some level of stress during this time, but if these feelings are persistent and impacting your daily life, or causing significant relationship strain, it might be helpful to talk to someone. Counseling provides a safe space to explore these challenges, develop coping strategies, and clarify your own goals and values. Our virtual sessions offer the flexibility to meet before, between, or after classes, making it easier than ever to prioritize your mental well-being as you navigate this new chapter. Visit my website below to learn more about me and the counseling process.

Holistic Approach Sacred Journeys, LLC offers an environment of unconditional positive regard where individuals can safely heal and grow. I approach mental health from a holistic perspective. I am especially interested in the mind/body connection and its implications for natural healing. I often incorporate meditation and mindfulness in order to assist individuals in connecting to their own sources of healing and inner wisdom. I have also found that meditation and mindfulness can be especially helpful for individuals who have struggle with focus and concentration. I enjoy working with the disenfranchised population. I employ an array of expressive therapeutic interventions in order to assist clients in addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, substance abuse issues, anger management issues, spiritual dysphoria, as well as self-esteem issues. I draw from the theories of Hakomi, a Body-Centered Psychotherapy, as well as Internal Family Systems Therapy.

Sexual health is a valuable part of both mental and physical health. So why aren’t we talking about it? Much too often sexual health is not talked about due to embarrassment by either the client and/or the provider. During your time with me, your healing and growing space will feel comfortable enough for you to take your shoes off, sink down into the couch, and breathe deeply. You need answers and we will find them together.

Hello! I'm so glad you're taking this step for your mental health. I went to the therapy for the first time while attending college (at USC too!), and it was pivotal for me. I really value working with college students, and genuinely appreciate how much you have to do deal with. Maybe you're struggling with transitions - adjusting to the start of college, or facing the daunting landscape post-graduation. Maybe you can feel all the pressures mounting to the point where you feel paralyzed and burnt out and confused. Maybe you'd like for just one thing - anything - to be taken off your plate, or for the load to be shared somehow. Maybe you're even trying to figure yourself out beyond the story that's been your life so far. I'd like to help make things seem clearer, or kinder, or safer, and I think we can do it together. I offer 45-minute sessions, as well as longer 90-minute sessions, to fit what you might need best. I also offer letters for medical transition, disability, ESA, and can complete return to school forms.

Do you want to be listened to without criticism, judgment, or feelings of rejection? Most people do! But do you desire something more? When most people enter therapy, what they often truly desire is change. I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are seeking while enjoying the process as much as possible. Simply said, I don’t believe therapy has to always be a painful thing. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe even a deep breath) to reach out and see how I can help. Life is too short to feel like you can’t measure up, let trauma control your relationships, or be anxious/angry all the time. I want you to be free of emotional pain, able to deal with life on life’s terms, and to find meaning & purpose in work, family, friendships, spirituality, and all other life areas. Since 2009, teenagers & adults have worked with me to deal with issues that are no joke. Beyond doing talk therapy, I have specialized training in EMDR & Brainspotting, which specializes in treating issues related to trauma, PTSD, anxiety, loss and insecurities often more quickly than traditional talk-therapies. Online Telehealth/Video sessions available.

I’m Ellen Burt Baker, LPC, and I’ve been honored to walk alongside individuals on their healing journeys for over 25 years. My practice offers a heart-centered, safe, and compassionate space where you can explore, heal, and grow exactly as you are. My approach to therapy is heart-centered, intuitive, and grounded in both clinical skill and body-brain healing modalities. I integrate powerful techniques such as Brainspotting, EMDR, EFT/Tapping, Hypnotherapy, and IADC® to support deep transformation. When requested, I also incorporate heart-centered practices to support your process holistically. I work with a variety of clients - those healing from trauma, managing anxiety or depression, navigating life decisions or transitions, or exploring their spiritual path. Many of my clients are reconnecting with their own intuition and inner wisdom, and I consider it a privilege to support that journey. I specialize in working with people who have already done some therapeutic work and are ready to go deeper—to move through the blocks and barriers that may still be holding them back. I meet each client exactly where they are. Our work together is a true partnership. I offer a space that is affirming and always welcoming. I bring warmth, humor, and a supportive presence into every session, helping clients feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Maybe your life looks good on paper, but things feel much harder on the inside than anyone could ever guess. ​ You might be great at keeping up with school, work, relationships, and everything else expected of you, but underneath it all, you feel like you are going to explode with anxiety, exhaustion, and constantly trying to figure out how to keep it all together. Racing thoughts, avoidance, and emotions that feel bigger and harder than they “should be” might be getting in the way of the life and the peace you wish for. If you are trying hard to understand yourself and wondering why things that seem easy for other people feel so hard for you, I would love to help you start to sort through those challenges. I have more than ten years of experience working in schools, residential treatment settings, and therapeutic environments with teens, young adults, and families navigating complex emotional and behavioral challenges. Many of my clients are struggling with anxiety, emotional dysregulation, avoidance, trauma, and neurodivergence. I work with people who are often creative, passionate, kind, and hard working, and who’ve had to learn to adapt, mask, overthink, people-please, or hold themselves to impossibly high standards in order to feel safe, successful, or accepted. ​ I am kind, direct, and grounded in my work with clients. I won’t judge you for the ways you have learned to cope, but I also won’t be afraid to gently challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is to create a relationship where you feel understood enough to be honest and supported enough to try something different. ​ I believe that insight and practical skills can work together. Alongside exploring deeper emotional patterns and past experiences, I help young people build skills for managing anxiety, communicating their needs, navigating relationships, setting boundaries, tolerating difficult emotions, and handling the everyday challenges that can make life feel overwhelming. ​
