The ember within you was never lost — only waiting to be tended.
Welcome to Emberlight Counseling, a space where every part of you is welcome. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, overwhelm, perfectionism, life transitions, or the lingering impact of past experiences, you don't have to make sense of it all alone.
Together, we'll explore the patterns that have shaped you, strengthen your connection to yourself, and create space for lasting change rooted in self-trust, authenticity, and meaningful connection.
Meet Laura Baker, LPC
Hi, I'm Laura (she/her), a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Emberlight Counseling.
I work with adults who are tired of feeling stuck in the same patterns—whether that looks like anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, relationship struggles, perfectionism, burnout, or a persistent feeling that they're somehow "too much" or "not enough."
My approach is rooted in Person-Centered and Relational-Cultural Therapy, which means I view healing as something that happens through authentic connection, self-understanding, and compassionate curiosity rather than judgment or self-criticism. I also integrate attachment-focused, mindfulness-based, somatic, and skills-based interventions when helpful.
Many of the clients I work with are carrying the impact of relational wounds, developmental experiences, or attachment injuries that continue to shape how they see themselves and relate to others. Together, we explore those patterns with care and curiosity—not to dwell in the past, but to create more freedom in the present.
Clients often describe me as warm, attuned, and genuine. I believe therapy should feel like a collaborative conversation, not a clinical performance or prescription. While we'll absolutely build practical tools along the way, I'm often just as interested in helping you understand yourself more deeply and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been hidden, silenced, or left behind. For clients who feel more grounded through movement and connection with the natural world, I also offer outdoor and nature-based therapy sessions.
Healing isn't about becoming someone new. It's about coming home to yourself.
The Spark Behind Emberlight
Emberlight Counseling was created from a simple belief: that every person carries an inner light worthy of careful tending, especially during life's most difficult seasons.
Many of the struggles we face begin as adaptations. We learn to hide parts of ourselves to maintain connection, abandon our needs to keep the peace, or shape ourselves around expectations that no longer fit. Over time, these patterns can leave us feeling disconnected, exhausted, or unsure of who we are beneath them.
At Emberlight, therapy is a space for curiosity, acceptance, and reconnection. Together, we'll explore the experiences and relationships that shaped you, honor the ways you've learned to survive, and create room for a more authentic, grounded, and connected way of being.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel vulnerable, and you don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
Whether you're ready to schedule, have questions about the process, or simply want to explore whether we're a good fit, I'd be happy to connect. If cost or insurance coverage is a concern, please don't let that stop you from inquiring. I offer a limited number of reduced-fee spots and am always happy to discuss options.
I am currently in-network with Blue Cross, St. Luke's Health Partners, PacificSource, SelectHealth, Regence, BlueShield, Mountain Health Co-Op, and Aetna.
