AMY BAKER

I have extensive training and experience treating OCD and related difficulties. About 80% of my clients see me for OCD treatment. I use customized, evidence-based treatment, tailoring treatment to each particular client's or family's needs. I see children (10+), adolescents, adults and caregivers alone when children aren't willing to engage. I primarily use Inference-based Cognitive Behavior Therapy (I-CBT), ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).

Specializing in work with teens and families for almost 20 years. Changing family relationship dynamics and family conflict, identity development, individuation, experimentation, perfectionism, self-esteem/self-worth, social struggles, shut down/oppositional behavior, social media/internet addiction, and preparation for the future are just some of my areas of focus with adolescents.

I offer supportive, evidence-based therapies for anxiety and related difficulties. I'm sensitive to each client's particular situation, struggles and readiness. Anxiety doesn't have to be a life-sentence, there are many good options. My primary concern is to meet clients where they are, and make therapy non-shaming, enjoyable and doable.

I-CBT focuses on how OCD tricks you into doubting reality. It helps you recognize and step out of those faulty “what if” stories before they take over. I-CBT gets to the root of what's happening in OCD, restoring trust in one's self and resolving doubt for good. I-CBT does not require exposure work or tolerance of uncertainty. It helps you understand your OCD experience, slowing things down and teaching practical skills to disentangle from obsessional thinking, doubts and compulsive behavior.

Together, we gently face the situations your anxiety tells you to avoid—and practice not doing the habits that keep you stuck.

ACT helps you change your relationship to difficult thoughts and feelings so they don’t run your life. You learn skills to get unstuck and take action guided by your values.
