 Hello! Heath Baker 37 years old father of 3.  I'm an avid outdoorsman and love to hunt and fish.  My gratification in life comes from watching my kids be awesome and helping people find the best version of themselves.  I believe in genuineness and authenticity and if you have me as a therapist that's exactly what you will get.  My Grandpa once told me "a life not lived for others is a life not lived ."  With that being said, I'm grateful to work a job where I get to be a light in people's lives to help them to navigate their way out of dark places. I'm a firm believer that anything is possible no matter how bad it may look or seem, and sometimes a little support from someone who believes in you is all that is needed to change everything.
