Getting to know Samuel Baker

Hi, I'm Sam, and I'm honored to potentially be your therapist. Within this bio you'll learn about my background, my approach, my scope of practice, and what you can expect from therapy with me. It's my intention to be as transparent as possible in order for you to make a fully informed decision whether I'm the right clinician for you. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received my graduate degree from the University of Southern Indiana in 2015 and went on to complete my clinical training in Atlanta, Georgia. I have been independently licensed since August 2020. Currently, I reside in San Antonio, Texas, and I hold licenses in Georgia, Texas, and Indiana. Regarding my theoretical orientation, I provide Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), which is a short-term, goal-directed approach. It’s based on the belief that you already have the strengths and resources you need to make changes in your life. My role is to ask targeted questions that help you identify and move toward your desired outcomes. While I bring training and clinical tools to our work, I cannot replicate your biology or personal experiences; therefore, I feel it would be inappropriate for me to "teach" you things or instruct you on how you should behave. Having said that, it is important to note the following: • You are the expert of your own life. I do not provide advice or direct suggestions. • I do not offer formal diagnostic evaluations. • I do not complete forms or write letters on your behalf (e.g., for emotional support animals, work/school accommodations, legal matters). • My job is not to solve your problems for you but to speak with you in a way that helps you feel more capable of managing life’s challenges. • I focus on fostering positive change, whatever that may look like for you.
