Christian Baer
Hello, I'm Christian. Life can throw challenges at you that can leave you feeling lost, helpless, overwhelmed, grieving, gripped by worry, or even hopeless. Perhaps experiences in your life have left you with unresolved trauma that keeps you from experiencing happiness or connecting with others. We are often ill-equipped to manage the problems we face, and this can leave us feeling stuck. Whatever the particular struggles you currently face, you need not be alone. I can come alongside you in your journey through your struggles and help you develop the tools you need to overcome them. I can offer you a different perspective and a new way of thinking about your problems while helping you build the coping skills you need to manage them and the often overwhelming emotions that come along with them. Together, we can help you find a way through your problems and achieve the life you want to live. I am an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with more than 19 years of experience treating mental health and substance abuse disorders. I graduated from The University of Akron in 2001 with a bachelor's degree in Psychology and went on to earn my master's degree in Clinical and Pastoral Counseling in 2005 from Ashland Theological Seminary. Since 2005, I have worked for community mental health and addiction treatment centers, and for the last 3 years, I have moved into private practice work. Over the course of my career, I have helped clients with a wide variety of mental health problems, including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, phobias, PTSD, grief/bereavement, addiction, problem gambling, and anger issues. I primarily work with adults and can address all types of client problems and concerns. Although I draw from many different approaches when working with clients, the two approaches I use the most are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you change the way you think about yourself and your problems while also developing more effective coping skills to manage stressors. Additionally, using a Motivational Interviewing approach, I can help you to discover your personal strengths, see opportunities for change, and tap into your internal motivation for change. I promise, I will strive to build a trusting therapeutic relationship with you in which you feel truly heard and understood. I believe that our work together can help you overcome your struggles and improve your life. If you're ready to take the first step towards a better tomorrow, I'm here to help. Let's work together to navigate your path to healing and growth.
