Our Founder, Patricia Baker MSW, LISW

I have been practicing as a social worker since 2018. I have had the good fortune to work for several types of agencies during that time and have experience with severe, persistent mental illness as a result of my time working for an inpatient psychiatric unit as well as experience working as a therapist in community mental health. I am currently working with adults aged 18 and up. I have been successfully treating first responders, military personnel, and survivors of domestic violence and child abuse.



I have specialized training in EMDR treatment and certification for personality disorder treatment. I utilize a very directive approach to treatment and encourage the client to guide their treatment so it is a joint process where they can feel empowered.

I am a trauma survivor who is also the mother of two amazing children on the Autism Spectrum. As a result of these two circumstances, I have spent time on the other side of the therapeutic relationship and became a therapist to pay back the time and attention that was given to me while my family was needing healing and support. I look forward to seeing you!

A Place to Heal, Grow, and Be Heard

At The Mental Health Healing Place, LLC, we believe healing starts with feeling truly seen and heard. Life can be heavy—our past experiences, traumas, and everyday challenges can weigh us down, sometimes to the point where just getting through the day feels overwhelming. Therapy provides a space to gently begin chipping away at that weight, turning what once felt like a boulder into something smaller, manageable, and meaningful.

Founded by Patricia Baker, LISW, The Mental Health Healing Place is rooted in compassion, clinical expertise, and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey. Patricia has been practicing since 2018 and is certified in basic EMDR training, specializing in trauma-informed care. Her background includes work in inpatient psychiatric settings and community mental health, treating a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and stress-related challenges.

We provide personalized, evidence-based therapy services, including psychosocial assessments, ongoing psychotherapy, and EMDR therapy. Whether you're seeking support for a recent event or working through long-standing pain, this is a space to begin healing on your terms—with kindness, safety, and support at every step.

Let’s work together to uncover strength, build resilience, and help you move forward with confidence. Your healing matters.
