Professional statement

Taylor Baker is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A) in Houston, Texas and founder of Rising Heights Therapy PLLC. Taylor specializes in working with high-functioning professionals and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. Taylor's ideal client might say something like: “Everything seems perfectly fine on the outside, but inside I am secretly struggling.” She especially enjoys working with highly sensitive people, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those who have experienced childhood trauma.

The foundation of Taylor's approach is based on research showing that the therapeutic relationship is the strongest predictor of successful outcomes in treatment. Additionally, Taylor integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts work, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Somatic Experiencing (SE) to treat trauma, anxiety, and depression. She is also EMDR trained. The most important takeaway? Trust is earned over time, and finding the right fit is everything.

Taylor offers both in-person sessions at her office in Rice Village or telehealth sessions for residents across Texas.


Message to clients

Sometimes you wonder if anyone really knows you outside of your achievements. You work hard (in fact, harder than most) but can’t ignore that aching somewhere inside saying there has to be more than this, right? You long for meaningful relationships but find it hard to connect with others on a deeper level. The fear of letting other people down is debilitating. You’d rather suffer silently than risk someone’s disappointment or judgment. Ironically, no one judges you more than yourself. The pressure of trying to do and say all the right things leaves you feeling exhausted, resentful, and burned out.

If this resonates, we might be a good fit to work together. For many people, therapy is the first time their emotions and experiences are fully validated. I’m passionate about creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you feel safe to openly explore your thoughts and feelings, rewrite old stories that no longer serve you, process difficult life events, and develop coping skills to manage anxiety.

You do not have to do this alone. It takes a lot of courage to seek support. Especially when you’re the one who “has it all together”. Together we can work toward enhancing your well-being and overall quality of life.
