Dr. Baird

I am the owner of the practice and have been providing psychological services for over 25 years.

Speciality Areas

My primary areas of specialization are depression and anxiety, including panic disorder, OCD, PTSD, and generalized anxiety. I am also trained to provide CBT for insomnia. I enjoy helping with parenting stress, relationship difficulties, communication issues, challenges with life transitions, and post-partum depression. Other areas of focus are attention and concentration, organization, and time management. I work with both adults and adolescents in individual therapy.

Treatment Approach

My therapeutic approach emphasizes developing a warm, collaborative relationship in order to establish clear goals. I focus on helping clients evaluate the effectiveness of their current way of being, alter behavior patterns as needed to reach objectives, and move toward self and other acceptance and a life lived in accordance with their values. I use a combination of change-oriented strategies including cognitive behavioral, problem solving, and communication effectiveness, as well as acceptance-based strategies such as emotional awareness, values clarification, and mindfulness. I have training in ACT, DBT, CBT, and mindfulness.
