Life's challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face them alone. I'm Akilah Baker, MSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) serving clients in Illinois and Indiana. I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, domestic violence, relationship concerns, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, and educational stress. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I also specialize in helping clients heal from traumatic experiences.

​

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we'll build on your strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change in a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment.

​

I offer secure telehealth sessions for your convenience, with in-person appointments available upon request. Wherever you are in your journey, I look forward to helping you find hope, healing, and renewed confidence.
