 Therapy is provided by Brittany Baker, LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor). Brittany is a trained clinical mental health counselor in the State of Indiana, experienced in supporting adults managing anxiety, ADHD, identity exploration, and life transitions.

Confidentiality may only be broken in specific situations required by law, including:

• If there is an imminent risk of harm to yourself or others
