Kelli Baker

Counselor Trainee Focused on Adolescents, Young Adults & Life Transitions

Kelli is a dedicated counselor trainee with a passion for supporting adolescents and young adults through the unique challenges of growth, identity, and transition. Currently pursuing her graduate degree in counseling, Kelli brings a compassionate, client-centered approach to every session.

Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), Kelli is committed to creating a safe, affirming space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Her military background has prepared her to work with individuals from all walks of life. She is well acquainted with life transitions and recognizes how important it is to have steady support during seasons of change. Kelli is especially attuned to the emotional, social, and academic pressures faced by young people today.

As a counselor, Kelli believes education is a cornerstone of personal growth and empowerment. It not only equips individuals with knowledge and skills but also fosters self-awareness, resilience, and informed decision-making. Her commitment to education stems from a deep understanding that learning is a lifelong journey—one that helps clients better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and pursue meaningful goals.

Under the supervision of Dr. Jill Ballesteros-Bowman, Kelli provides individual and group counseling that fosters resilience, self-awareness, and healthy coping strategies. Her clinical interests include anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, identity exploration, and life transitions.

Outside of counseling, Kelli enjoys spending time with family and friends as well as traveling. She makes her home in Evans, Georgia.
