About Logan
Drawing from over 10 years of experience working with struggling adolescents, Logan Baker joins the Blue Ridge Therapeutic Wilderness team as a primary therapist working with adolescent boys. After graduating from the Peabody College of Education at Vanderbilt University with a master’s degree in Human Development Counseling, Logan worked as a therapist in various clinical settings, including community mental health, adult residential trauma treatment, and private practice.
Most recently, Logan served as a primary therapist at a premier adolescent residential treatment program working with adolescent males facing substance use disorders, trauma, and other co-occurring mental health concerns.
Clinical Approach
Logan is passionate about helping young men reconnect with themselves, their families, and the natural world. He also enjoys coaching parents who are seeking to more deeply connect with their struggling sons. His clinical approach is deeply relational, emphasizing the development of the trust necessary to openly share life’s most challenging and perplexing struggles.
His areas of clinical expertise include trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, substance misuse and abuse, family dysfunction, sexual identity development, self-esteem, and learning disabilities. Logan counsels from an attachment-focused, person-centered, and mindfulness-informed framework. He is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, Person-Centered Psychotherapy, Psychodrama, Adventure Therapy/Ropes Facilitation, and Motivational Interviewing.
At the end of the day, Logan is guided by the words of early therapist Carl Jung: “Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul, be just another human soul.”
Personal Interests
The outdoors is where Logan feels most at home, and he is grateful to live in the Blue Ridge Mountains. When he is not working, he can be found hiking with Caney, his chocolate lab; fly fishing; canoeing; plotting his next (short) thru-hike; or reading the works of John Steinbeck, Mary Oliver, Richard Rohr, and Wendell Berry.
