Dr. Nicole Baker, PhD, PLP, LSSP
Psychologist | Psychological Testing | Child & Adolescent Counseling
Life can be challenging, and sometimes we need answers—or simply someone to talk to. Dr. Nicole Baker is here to help individuals find clarity and balance in the face of life’s many demands. As a Provisionally Licensed Psychologist, she blends compassion and clinical precision to support clients of all ages in reaching their full potential.
Dr. Baker earned her PhD in School Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University, completing her pre-doctoral internship in both clinical and school settings. She received advanced training in empirically supported assessments and interventions and has conducted research focused on ADHD and autism spectrum disorders. Her expertise lies in providing comprehensive psychological evaluations—developmental, cognitive, academic, and personality assessments—to identify each client’s strengths and challenges. This testing serves as a foundation for creating tailored, effective treatment plans.
She works collaboratively with families, schools, and support systems while preserving each client’s autonomy and privacy. Whether you're seeking answers through testing or support through therapy, Dr. Baker’s goal is to empower clients with tools for lasting growth and improved self-efficacy.
Outside the Office:
Outside of the therapy room, Dr. Baker enjoys traveling, reading, and spending time outdoors. She has been married for over 30 years and is a proud mother of four grown children and a grandmother. Family is a central part of her life, and she cherishes every opportunity to spend time with her loved ones.
