Araya Baker, M.Phil.Ed.

My most important commitment is that you feel truly affirmed, empowered, and heard. I listen with deep curiosity and humility, always honoring your unique story and how your lived experiences have shaped your values, hopes, and emotional needs. Whether you’re grappling with anxiety, self-doubt, grief, people-pleasing, or power struggles in your relationships, I create a nonjudgmental space to explore complex feelings like guilt, insecurity, jealousy, regret, resentment, and more.

Although I work with folks from all backgrounds, I support primarily queer & trans individuals navigating concerns around addiction, aging, cancer, disability, family estrangement, grief and trauma, life purpose and self-actualization, neurodivergence, prejudice and racism, relationships, reproductive health and family-building, and sexual health and HIV.

If you’re seeking a therapist who is collaborative, patient, non-judgmental, resourceful, and strengths-based––who also respects your autonomy, boundaries, and self-expertise––please reach out.
