Owner/Therapist
Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer Baird, LCSW, and I’m the founder of A Step Beyond Counseling and Consulting.
I chose the name A Step Beyond because I believe therapy should do more than help you get through the moment—it should help you move forward. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and it’s not uncommon to feel stuck, unsure, or weighed down by everything you’re carrying. You don’t have to navigate that alone.
With over 16 years of experience working with adults, children, and individuals experiencing co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns, I take an integrated, whole-person approach to care. That means I don’t just focus on symptoms—I work with you to understand your experiences within the context of your life, your relationships, and your goals.
My approach is grounded in respect, trust, and empathy. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes. Therapy with me is not just about insight—it’s about building practical tools and confidence to help you move forward in your daily life.
I also believe that access to care matters. To support this, I offer sliding scale fees based on income and provide secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual sessions so you can access services from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
I offer a flexible schedule and will do my best to accommodate your needs. If you don’t see a time that works for you, I encourage you to reach out—there may be options not reflected on the calendar.
