Jennifer Baker, LCMHCA

About Jennifer

Jennifer Baker is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate at Olive Tree. She earned both her Bachelor of Science in Psychology, with a concentration in Crisis Counseling, and her Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. Her clinical work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and other modalities as each client's situation calls for it.

Jennifer brings over 20 years of ministry experience alongside her husband Doug into her clinical practice. That background has given her firsthand insight into the pain people carry and deepened her conviction that mental health care and spiritual support are not separate concerns. For clients who want to incorporate faith into the counseling process, she offers that integration thoughtfully and naturally.

Her Approach

Jennifer's goal is for clients to experience healing and wholeness to their fullest potential. She approaches treatment holistically, addressing mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs together rather than in isolation. She believes that understanding and peace in all areas of life are possible, and she works toward that with every person she sees.

She also understands what it takes to walk through the door in the first place. Seeking support requires real courage and vulnerability, and Jennifer doesn't take that lightly. Her aim is to create a safe, compassionate space where clients feel understood from the start and supported every step of the way.

Her Mission

No one should have to struggle alone. Jennifer considers it a genuine honor to walk alongside clients in their journey toward wholeness and help them build the abundant life they were created for.
