Getting to know Kirt Baab

Hi there, I'm Kirt! Hi, I'm Kirt Baab, LCSW. I'm a clinical social worker with extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, and trauma. I use supportive counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic therapy, and mindfulness. My approach People have their own styles. I match my approach to each person's unique needs. If someone has anxiety and has tried meditation, I'll show them somatic therapy for comfort. If they are anxious and angry, I'll help relieve their frustrations. If depressed, we'll work together to lift their mood and find a firm foundation for daily life. My focus I often work with adults experiencing overwhelming anxiety or frustration. I help them with loss and accepting life changes they fear or resent. I'm comfortable working with adults challenged by emotions and thoughts they try to control but are disappointed when symptoms return. My communication style Many are surprised by how informal treatment feels. I'm easy to talk with, open-minded, and supportive. Clients often say, "I can be who I am with you," because we use a relational and accepting style. My journey to mental healthcare I began learning about therapy when I saw my own therapist in 1978. He helped me identify short- and long-term goals built on my strengths. I built on those through higher education, therapist training, and work in various settings. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Grand Valley State University. My goal was to find peace, reduce anxiety, and accept losses of important people. It worked. I learned therapy by being a client and seeing others face similar challenges.
