I am a Trauma, Relationship, and Sex Therapist with 10 years of experience. Most of my career has been working with individuals, couples, and families around trauma, infidelity, relationship issues, anxiety, sexual concerns, depression, and more.
My approach to counseling is very client-centered and positive. I am a guide to help you discover your strength, abilities, and what you would like to get out of your future. I utilize many different therapeutic perspectives based on what you are looking for and value your input in your own development. Whether this is your first counseling experience or not I am here to support you through the process and to get the most out of it.
I look forward to working with you and empowering you on this journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Amanda Baker. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. Baker is super understanding even when life gets in the way of my appointments and she calls me out on my self sabotage and help me a lot when I'm struggling. I'm glad I got her as a therapist and didn't have to hunt around for one.
10/10 would recommend 🤩

Dr. Baker is a great listening ear. She listens and responds thoughtfully. She is gentle and helpful. She is able to take a jumble of thoughts and streamline it to repeat back to you so that you can actually work through what’s going on instead of just getting lost in it. We’ve only spoken a couple times but I get great sense of relief after working with her. I look forward to continuing therapy with Dr. Baker

Amanda is a wonderful therapist. She listened to everything I had to say with patience and curiosity. She was also very adept at providing feedback when I wanted it, which was ever time from her ;) I grew to look forward to our sessions and I carry many of the wise insights she shared with me throughout my day to day life. Thank you, Amanda!
