“To restore means to face the area of loss and restructure it, creating a new structure. Most of the time when we think of restoration we are stuck or hurting, stuck at something in our past. A lot of times when we come upon restoration, stuck, hurting, our life not progressing past that point- We must take the next step forward in order to re-build.”
Stephanie Baker, MS, LCPC, NCC
Stephanie Baker, MS, LCPC, NCC, is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. Stephanie holds a Master’s degree in Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family studies, and a Bachelors in Psychology from Northwest Nazarene University. Stephanie has been practicing for over 10 years, EMDR Certified, Gottman trained, EFT Trained, APSATS trained, a Certified Life Coach, and Registered Clinical Supervisor to local counselors.
Stephanie believes no one goes through life without some type of trauma, struggle, loss, or brokenness, which needs to be resolved. In counseling, clients can expect to gain new insights leading to greater self-understanding, an ability to connect past root issues with current symptoms, an exploration into unhelpful thinking patterns or core beliefs, and an understanding of how to replace those with healthier patterns.

Michelle’s early life shaped her understanding of the deep and lasting effects of trauma.

Today, Michelle walks alongside individuals, couples, families, and children as they make sense of their stories and move towards growth.
