About Kirt Baab

Kirt Baab brings a broad range of clinical experience to his therapeutic work, developed across addiction treatment programs, mental health services, hospital outpatient clinics, social service agencies, and schools. He emphasizes the person rather than a single theoretical model, drawing on many clinical approaches while prioritizing the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change.

He has trained with practitioners from Native American, Hispanic, African American, Caucasian, and Asian backgrounds, and has provided care for people across sexual orientations, physical abilities, and life stages. That variety informs a practice focused on practical skill building - teaching tools that support reduced emotional suffering, the breaking of painful habits, and greater capacity for a life of abundance.

Kirt concentrates on reducing the intensity of depression and anxiety, lengthening the time between episodes of panic or excessive worry, and lowering feelings of hopelessness or helplessness. He works to improve communication with significant others, strengthen resilience in the face of life challenges, and decrease overall emotional pain and suffering.

Kirt J. Baab holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker, a professional social work credential indicating advanced clinical training and licensure to provide mental health services.
