Mandy Baker, LMHC

I'm a licensed therapist with 20 years of experience helping older adolescents and adults navigate life's challenges with warmth, compassion, and a healthy dose of humor.

Finding your path to healing starts here.

Hi there! I'm Mandy Baker, and I'm so glad you've found your way to Clear Mind Counseling. With 20 years in the mental health field, I've had the privilege of walking alongside incredible people through their most challenging and transformative moments. Whether you're a young adult navigating life's big questions or an adult seeking clarity and growth, I'm here to support you with warmth, understanding, and a healthy dose of humor when it feels right.

What Makes Our Work Together Special:
I believe wholeheartedly that you already possess everything you need to create meaningful change in your life. My role isn't to fix you (because you're not broken!) but to help you uncover your inner wisdom, strength, and resources. Together, we'll create a space that feels genuinely safe, supportive, and caring, where you can explore, grow, and heal at your own pace.

As a proudly LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I celebrate and honor all identities and expressions of who you are. Your authentic self is always welcome here.

Through my years working in community mental health, private practice, and training other clinicians, I've supported folks navigating:
- Anxiety and depression
- Family relationships and conflict
- Trauma and abuse recovery
- Behavioral challenges
- Self-esteem and confidence building
- Life transitions and major changes

I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral activation, practical coping skills, and even bibliotherapy (because sometimes the right book at the right time can be pure magic). But most importantly, you direct the journey. This is your story, and I'm honored to be part of helping you write the next chapter.

Taking that first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but it's also incredibly brave. I'd love to learn more about what brings you here and how we might work together. Your healing matters, your story matters, and you deserve a space where you can be completely, authentically yourself.

Let's discover what's possible when you have the right support in your corner.

I currently accept BCBS. For all other insurances, you may have out-of-network benefits, which means that insurance will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you will only have to pay a copay for our sessions post-deductible, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This typically allows clients to save on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your co-insurance would be.
