Owner/Therapist
A Step Beyond Counseling and Consulting, LLC is owned by Jennifer Baird, PhD, LCSW. I chose the name A Step Beyond because life is tough. We all go through times where we seem to be stuck or unsure of how to handle what we are going through much less move forward in life. We can all use a helping hand to help us move forward.
I have 10 years of experience working with adults and children with both mental health and co-occurring disorders. I operate on a integrated treatment approach. This means that I view the person as whole and address the presenting issues by placing them in the context of your life.
I started this company because I believe in respect, trust, and empathy. I care about people having access to services regardless of their income level. To this end, I provide services on a sliding scale based on income. To achieve that goal, I provide virtual therapy through HIPAA compliant video software to protect your privacy and confidentiality. I have a flexible schedule which can be reached through the schedule page. It is possible that I am available on hours not listed on my schedule. If the day/time you would like does not appear to be available, please feel free to reach out to me to see if it is possible for me to adjust my schedule. I will make every effort possible to accommodate everyone.
