Something has been off for a while β€” maybe you can't sleep, can't focus, can't seem to shake a persistent heaviness that makes everyday life harder than it should be. You've been managing it on your own, but you're ready for something to actually change.

I'm Rebecca Baker, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving adolescents and adults across Iowa. I help people who are living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, sleep disruption, and the stress of major life transitions β€” and I take a genuinely personalized approach to each person I work with.

Dealing with grief, loss, or trauma? Feeling disconnected, alone, and unhappy? Struggling with relationships, addiction, or painful wounds from childhood? If you said yes to any of these, I can help. Often, the burdens of trauma manifests itself in mysterious ways and can lead to various concerns such as depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, trust issues, isolation, and shame. These challenges can hinder healthy relationships and self-care.

I enjoy working with individuals through the journey of achieving the goals they have with counseling or even just helping them figure out their goals. I feel like individuals are who they are based on their experiences and that when we give them time to view experiences from a holistic view point, they will recognize that they are powerful.


Counseling is not something that is necessarily a quick fix, but you will hopefully walk away with some insight on how you can move forward in a positive and healthy manner.


I recognize the impact being a member of a marginalized group can have on someone and respect the needs of all of these populations. I look forward to answering any of your questions and assisting you on your journey.
