I am a Marriage and Family therapist licensed in California. I’m from the Midwest and graduated from Indiana University.
I've had some wonderful experiences working with individuals, and I believe that everybody has the capacity and courage to change. I will do my best to help you find that courage, and to help you develop interpersonal skills by listening, challenging, and offering alternative ways of thinking and doing.
I believe that deep down, we all know what we want and need emotionally, and my work will focus on helping you understand your own unique life experience. I will meet you where you are and take this journey with you.
I know first hand that finding a therapist who you feel comfortable with and connected to is very important, so I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can talk openly. I am a good listener with a creative sense of humor. I am interactive in sessions offering a collaborative, compassionate, and emphatic approach to treatment. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and have a few inspirational moments. I really look forward to hearing from you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Randy Baird. 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.
I did not know what to do after a horrible accident changed my life forever. Randy has been helping and guiding me through this difficult time. It is not an easy thing but I feel extremely comfortable opening up to him about everything and just allowing myself to be honest to both him and myself.

Randy has helped me a massive amount over the couple of months we have spoken, I feel very comfortable and safe when talking to him. He offers supporting help and advice and I feel at ease talking about anything to him.
