Meet Dr. Jacqueline Baer
My Approach
I believe in your ability to examine the circumstances of your life, gain awareness, and find answers within yourself. My approach emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and is oriented towards personal growth. Through an exploration of self and personal ability, I hope to help you become more present, authentic, and accepting of yourself. We will also work together to help move you toward inner trustworthiness and self-actualization, experiencing change in yourself.
My approach emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and is oriented towards personal growth. I support clients to make new choices, overcome obstacles, and build their most fulfilling lives. I work with clients who experience a wide range of challenges involving medical issues, divorce, adoption, relationships, and life transitions.
