Canaan Baker, MA, LCDC, LPC

I am a therapist, life coach and self-published author that is passionate about mental health awareness, especially within the African-American community! My specialties are Substance Abuse and Christian counseling and I am a doctoral candidate at Manifest Theological Institute in Tampa, Florida.

I am originally from Jacksonville, Florida and relocated to the Dallas-Fort Worth area in the Spring of 2015. I hold a Master of Arts in Human Services Counseling from Liberty with a concentration in Life Coaching and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Amberton University. I am also a fully Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) for the state of Texas.

I began working in the Substance Abuse field in Spring of 2011. I previously worked with male and female adolescents and adults in this industry. I expanded my services to include Christian Counseling and Mental Health counseling as well. I hope to be able to help bridge the gap between theology and psychology within the faith community. Additionally, I hold professional affiliations with Texas Christian Counselors and the American Association of Christian Counselors. In my free time, I volunteer with the National Association for Mental Illness (NAMI) and the Potter’s House church of Dallas.
