Katie Baker is a licensed clinical mental health therapist offering individual and couple's counseling at LMV Counseling in Wilmington, NC. Katie is Level-1 trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), an innovative, evidence-based modality that offers a non-pathologizing approach to psychotherapy. Katie recently trained directly with Dr. Richard Schwartz, the founder of IFS, and has been inspired to bring IFS to her community. Her workshops invite participants to identify the parts that make up their "internal world" or "system" and to extend curiosity and compassion to these parts. Katie utilizes ceremonial cacao in her workshops to help clients access their own sense of calm and clarity. The nutritional properties of cacao bring about a feeling of warmth and groundedness that is essential for connecting with ourselves.
