Rachel Baker, ARNP

I have worked in mental health since 1986, first as a social worker and later on as a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I work primarily with adults and offer treatment for a wide variety of mental health conditions. I have enjoyed a life of service to those who struggle with mental health concerns. I have found my patients to be some of the kindest people that I have encountered in my lifetime and have received much in return.

I am a general psychiatric provider and enjoy the variation of patients I am honored to treat. I was inspired to go into psychiatric nursing due to my fascination with the workings of the human mind. I have a special interest in working with adults with neurodiversity, including ADHD and Autism spectrum disorders. I also have years of experience treating PTSD/CPTSD and find the intersection between trauma and neurodiversity fascinating.

I treat pediatric patients with ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, trauma, and general behavioral challenges. I provide evaluations, therapy, medication management, and family support, using evidence-based treatments to foster well-being in young patients. My parents worked in health care so I developed a passion for helping others and a fascination with the workings of the mind and body early on. I work to make a difference in children's and their families' lives, guiding them through challenges and celebrating growth.
