Wesley Shane Baker

I work with people who seek to find happiness and inner growth. I help clients work with, rather than against, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, limiting beliefs, habitual thought and behavioral patterns, and existential despair. Through the therapeutic relationship, we come to better understand how we wish to relate to everyone - family, lovers, friends, colleagues, strangers. While therapy can be challenging, and may put us in contact with potentially frightening or unpleasant emotions, we will also have fun and laugh along the way at the beautiful absurdity of being human, all too human. , I specialize in present-moment centered therapy, and believe that as we tell and unwind our stories, we find what it is like to abide in the ever-fresh here and now. I have been influenced by trauma-informed, client-centered therapy, as well as Gestalt therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and somatic awareness and processing. , Please reach out if you feel so inclined, to see if we seem like a good fit, or if I may know a therapist who might be. I work with Colorado Healing Collective, where we accept a number of insurance providers, Medicaid, and have a $75 self-pay option.
