Joseph O Baker Jr.

For over 25 years, I have helped children, adolescents and their families to cope with major difficulties in their lives. I have worked in Western New York as a counselor in outpatient clinics, hospital inpatient settings and residential treatment centers. The majority of my career has been spent as a Clinical Social Worker/Therapist in Children’s Hospital of Buffalo, most recently at the Autism Center. I specialize in assisting children and families coping with crisis, chronic medical conditions, suicidal ideations, and severe mental illnesses; Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Childhood Behavior Disorders, Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder, Conduct Disorder, and Developmental Disabilities such as Autism Spectrum Disorder. I employ aspects of both Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Trauma Resolution Therapy that have helped hundreds of children and their families. I will be able to help your child and family resolve issues that affect your lives and develop strategies for coping. I offer both daytime and evening appointments.
