Welcome!

I'm Whitney Baker, LMFT, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist serving couples, men, and first responders throughout Washington and Idaho via secure online therapy.

With over 10 years of experience in mental health and social services, I specialize in helping people who are tired of repeating the same painful patterns and ready to build something better.

You won't find empty affirmations or vague advice here. Instead, you get structured, strategic, and emotionally intelligent therapy designed specifically to help you:

  • Break painful cycles of shutdown and conflict (so you actually feel understood)

  • Communicate clearly and confidently (without walking on eggshells)

  • Rebuild emotional and physical intimacy (without the awkwardness or resentment)

  • Lead with real emotional strength (so you can show up fully in your relationships)

My approach combines attachment science, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and trauma-informed care with practical tools you can use immediately, not months from now.

I offer flexible evening and weekend telehealth appointments for clients across Washington and Idaho, whether you're in Spokane, Tri-Cities, Pullman, Boise, Coeur d'Alene, or anywhere in between.

Ready to stop spinning your wheels and start building something better?
