A trauma-informed approach is woven through each discipline. The use of somatic training, depth psychology, parts work, Polyvagal theory, and Buddhist teachings are present in each session. I combine these modalities to support clients by providing tools, techniques, psycho-education, and a safe space for self-inquiry and exploration.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in Contemplative Psychotherapy which encompasses mindfulness, compassion, and embodiment
About Me
a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in CO, offering both virtual and in-person sessions. My journey in this field began with a decade of guiding clients back to their bodies as a massage therapist. This experience led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology at Naropa University, followed by training in EMDR, grief counseling, and relational skills.
"Working with Jessica has been an integral part of my journey in returning to self. Through our sessions, I’ve gained deeper self-awareness and the tools to navigate life with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. Her ability to hold space for reflection and growth has helped me reconnect with parts of myself that felt lost or disconnected. Jessica listens deeply, asks the right questions, and gently challenges me in ways that foster deep transformation." DT
I'm Jessica Baker,
I encourage potential clients to set up a free, online, 15-minute consultation to see if you and I are a good fit.
Choosing a good therapist fit can be a challenging process. I hope to make it easier.
Working with Me
My style is gentle and supportive while also being direct and challenging. I provide a grounded, consistent presence that helps clients navigate within their experience. My encouragement of clients in recognizing and cultivating an observer’s mind throughout our work together helps to bring gentleness toward discomfort while maintaining a wider lens benefitting you both cognitively and physiologically. The therapeutic dynamic is the single most useful modality utilized in our sessions. I believe in the heart's enduring capacity for renewal and the innate creativity and resilience within each of us, regardless of circumstances.
Testimonial: "To be honest, you are by far my favorite therapist that I have ever worked with and I really appreciate the approach and perspective you bring." MG
