Celebrating A Decade of Innovation and Compassion at BTR Psychotherapy

A decade in any journey is a milestone worth stopping and reflecting upon, an opportunity to look back at the road traversed, marked with signs of growth, resilience, and countless stories of transformation. Today, as we celebrate 10 years of BTR Psychotherapy, we open a window to the past, reflecting upon the beautiful journey adorned with milestones, learnings, and cherished relationships.

At the heart of our practice are two individuals whose dedication and expertise have sculpted the sanctuary of healing that BTR Psychotherapy represents today: Lyn Taylor Hale and Stannard (Stan) Baker.

Stannard (Stan) Baker LCMHC, RPT-S, an expert with a nurturing approach, believes in the power of metaphor as a carrier of profound truths about oneself. Through his expansive training in Expressive Therapy, EMDR, and other developmental approaches, he has crafted a therapeutic journey that encompasses both verbal and non-verbal modalities. His work with diverse groups, including people with Autism Spectrum Disorder, survivors of trauma, and the LGBT community, speaks volumes about his multifaceted approach. An ordained clergy person in The Episcopal Church, Stan integrates clients' personal belief structures into his healing process, offering a holistic route to recovery and understanding.

Lyn Taylor Hale LCMHC, on the other hand, has become a beacon of hope for individuals navigating life's inevitable transitions. Her expertise in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has empowered countless clients to regain control over their lives, even amidst the most challenging times. Lyn's empathetic approach towards adults grappling with developmental disabilities, borderline personality disorder, or simply life's transitional phases, has been a cornerstone in building a practice that embodies authenticity and fulfillment.

Our journey has not only been about individual healing but also about fostering a community of growth and learning. As we look forward to the future, we are excited to announce that

As we celebrate this significant milestone, it's only fitting to acknowledge the exciting expansions that have been integrated into our practice over time. Our goal has always been to provide a holistic approach to therapy, and with each passing year, we have added new dimensions to our services that resonate with this philosophy.
