DR. WILLIAM BAKER
I am a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst with many years of experience treating adults, adolescents and children. While I utilize a wide range of current treatment techniques, my practice is based on a foundation of contemporary psychoanalytic approaches. I have found a psychodynamic perspective—the view that our emotional lives represent a continually evolving process that determines our lived experience in meaningful and purposive ways—to be essential for understanding a whole person and their current life situation. Because each of us expresses ourselves in unique ways, thoughts, feelings, behaviors and symptoms can be understood only through our lived experience of them. You are the only expert when it comes to your own experience; my role, simply put, is to assist you in experiencing more of yourself and the life around you.
