Kirt Baab (LMSW)

I have practiced therapy in a variety of settings with people of different ages. I bring experience from working in addiction treatment, mental health treatment, hospital outpatient clinics, social service agencies, and schools. My approach to therapy is to focus on the person instead of theory. Yes, I’m trained in many clinical approaches and I know each of those approaches is most effective when applied in a relationship with the client. I’ve been trained by Native American, Hispanic, African American, Caucasian, and Asian therapists. My work includes providing treatment to people of different sexual orientations, physical abilities, and life stages. I enjoy our differences and have a common focus with each person. I provide training in the skills that will allow you to change your life in important ways. For example, my focus is on reducing emotional suffering, ending painful habits, and increasing the ability to live a life of abundance. My goal is to help you: Reduce the intensity of depression or anxiety in your life, Increase the length of time between bouts of panic, fear, or excessive worry, Reduce the frequency of your hopelessness or helplessness, Increase your ease in communication with significant others, Build your resilience to the challenges of living, and Reduce your overall emotional pain and suffering. I look forward to working with you. Kirt J. Baab, LMSW, ERYT-200
