Getting to know Kamila Baker

Hello, I'm Kamila LaShaun Houston Baker, a licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Oakland, CA. I offer therapy through telehealth services across California. My roots trace back to the Inland Empire in Southern California. As a Genderqueer individual, my practice centers on supporting LGBTQ adults and other underserved groups as they navigate past traumas and build confidence. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Smith College, which equipped me with a strong foundation to support clients effectively. My approach I primarily utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to assist in processing trauma. My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered, prioritizing your comfort and needs throughout our work. I also incorporate attachment-focused, psychodynamic, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and dialectical behavior therapy techniques, tailored to support your healing and growth. My focus I support clients addressing stress and trauma, including anxiety, feeling stuck, regret over impulsive behavior, sensations of being out-of-body or disconnected during stress, unease, relationship difficulties, and feelings of being uninspired and depressed. My communication style I communicate with warmth, empathy, and transparency, prioritizing active listening to ensure clients feel heard and understood. I believe everyone deserves the freedom to define themselves and access services that meet their needs. I am here to support you in processing past experiences and building confidence to create the life you want. My journey to mental healthcare I began working in mental health over 13 years ago as a Peer Mentor, leveraging my personal experience with mental health challenges and deep empathy to support and empower others.
