MEET GABBY:
Gabby Baker is a Master’s Candidate Therapist currently attending Penn State Harrisburg to obtain a Master of Arts in Applied Clinical Psychology. She obtained her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Oklahoma State University. Her practice emphasizes a person-centered, strengths-based approach in which individuals are invited to explore their stories in a safe and compassionate environment.
Through authenticity, humor, and warmth, Gabby strives to create a therapeutic environment where individuals can be vulnerable, honest, and process complex emotions without judgement. Her primary interests include working with LGBTQ+ individuals, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, young adults and life transitions, trauma, ADHD, and self-esteem.
She hopes to integrate several evidence-based modalities into her practice to best fit the needs of the individual. These include, but are not limited to, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Narrative Therapy.

Her passion for therapeutic work stems from a structural understanding of the inequity surrounding access to mental health providers and resources, and a desire to serve those who have been historically mistreated by the field of psychology. Her clinical philosophy was greatly shaped and impacted by her work in a biopsychosocial research lab and as a volunteer at her university psychological services center. Additionally, she gained a deeper understanding of human connection, life meaning, and how the soul navigates difficult or traumatic situations in her undergraduate course History of the Human Soul taught by Dr. James Grice.
In her spare time, Gabby enjoys reading a wide variety of books (e.g., fantasy, sci-fi, romance, etc.), playing video games on her Switch 2, and completing jigsaw and word/logic puzzles. She is also an avid TV/movie watcher who enjoys spending time discussing her favorite (and least favorite) characters with friends.
