I am a New York Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I completed my Marriage and Family Degree with an Advanced Certificate in Trauma Informed Practice from Syracuse University in 2016. I have four years of direct experience with individuals, families and couples. I have experience working with individuals who have struggled with anxiety, depression, life transitions, interpersonal and intrapersonal conflicts, and substance use addictions. I specialize working with individuals who have experienced trauma (to include, but not limited to: one time traumatic event, adverse childhood experiences, trauma sustained in the military, or sexual trauma). During my time as a therapist, I have provided therapeutic services in the home, outpatient clinics, and in the school.
I am client focused and offer a unconditional positive regard to all clients. Some of my treatment modalities include Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused, Experiential, Narrative, and motivational interviewing. I can help provide tools necessary to combat your problems as well as highlight resources you already have. I am devoted to improving physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being.
I think it’s helpful if we focus on the present and the future. I want to help you figure out what changes you want to see happen in your life. We will identify realistic goals and expectations you have for yourself and honing in on your skills to help create those positive changes!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kristine 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.
Kristine is excellent. I came into therapy with her in such a bad place. Toxic relationship, horrible self esteem, etc. Since working with her I’ve learned how to better manage some of my emotions. She is helping manage my depression, anxiety, and paranoia. She’s kind, compassionate, empathetic, funny, and exceptionally good at her job. She’s the most positive therapy experience I’ve had to date.
