I’m Ellen Burt Baker, LPC, and I’ve been honored to walk alongside individuals on their healing journeys for over 25 years. My practice offers a heart-centered, safe, and compassionate space where you can explore, heal, and grow exactly as you are.
At Counseling with Heart, my mission is to offer heart-centered, holistic counseling that nurtures healing, awakens inner wisdom, and supports individuals in aligning with their authentic selves. I am dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their experiences, transform limiting patterns, and cultivate lasting well-being and resilience.
Outside of my work, I value connection, presence, and the moments that bring a sense of ease and joy into everyday life. I’m a later-in-life mom and have walked my own path through infertility and medical challenges, which has deepened my compassion and understanding of the many layers of the real and sometimes unpredictable experience of being in a human body. I also know firsthand what it’s like to be an overthinker, and I appreciate the effort it can take to show up and move through the world each day. I believe humor and laughter are an important part of the healing process, even alongside the deeper work.
I was also diagnosed with ADHD later in life, which has allowed me to understand my own experiences through a new and more compassionate lens. This perspective informs my work, and I strive to support others who are navigating late-in-life diagnosis in finding deeper meaning, self-understanding, and ways to move through the world that honor their unique way of thinking and being.
Earlier in my own life, I had the benefit of being supported through counseling, which played a meaningful role in my growth and ultimately led me to this work. I view counseling and deep healing as a sacred experience, and I feel truly honored to hold space for each person with whom I work. I feel a strong calling to support people in their healing during this time, with the belief that as we each do our own work, we open the door to deeper connection with others and contribute to healing in the world around us.

Counseling with Heart
My approach to therapy is heart-centered, intuitive, and grounded in both clinical skill and body-brain healing modalities. I integrate powerful techniques such as Brainspotting, EMDR, EFT/Tapping, Hypnotherapy, and IADC® to support deep transformation. When requested, I also incorporate heart-centered practices to support your process holistically.
I work with a variety of clients - those healing from trauma, managing anxiety or depression, navigating life decisions or transitions, or exploring their spiritual path. Many of my clients are reconnecting with their own intuition and inner wisdom, and I consider it a privilege to support that journey. I specialize in working with people who have already done some therapeutic work and are ready to go deeper—to move through the blocks and barriers that may still be holding them back.
I meet each client exactly where they are. Our work together is a true partnership. I offer a space that is affirming and always welcoming. I bring warmth, humor, and a supportive presence into every session, helping clients feel seen, heard, and empowered.
In addition to individual therapy, I offer groups, skill-building workshops, healing intensives, and retreats—all designed to foster growth, connection, and inner transformation.
Whether you’re seeking to heal past wounds, rediscover your voice, or connect more deeply with your authentic self, I’m here to support you.
Let’s begin the journey together.
