Dr. Christine Baker is the Clinical Director at Wayfare Counseling. She works primarily in the areas of sexual compulsivity/addiction, trauma recovery, and somatic healing. She is EMDR trained, a Certified Sexual Addictions Therapist (CSAT), and is currently an SEP (Somatic Experiencing Practitioner) in training. She has also completed the Traumatic Stress Studies program through The Trauma Center at the Justice Resource Institute under Dr. Bessel van der Kolk.

She is passionate about making somatic work understandable to the everyday person and about offering easy to access skills to help people come back to a more regulated state.
