Bahiyya Baskerville(She/Her/Hers)

Dr. Bahiyya Baskerville, DSL, LMSW, supports individuals at every stage of life — from teens managing stress and identity, to adults facing trauma, anxiety, or major transitions. She is dedicated to creating a safe, collaborative, and compassionate space where clients feel understood and empowered to explore their challenges. Bahiyya’s approach is both trauma-informed and client-centered, integrating evidence-based approaches with genuine human connection. Her goal is to help clients strengthen resilience, build healthier coping skills, and move toward greater clarity and confidence in their daily lives.

Bahiyya works with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and difficulties with relationships or boundaries. She also provides support for individuals navigating identity-related issues, including gender identity, gender transitions, and sexual orientation. With a commitment to affirming and inclusive care, Bahiyya offers a safe space for LGBTQ+ and transgender clients to explore their experiences and develop tools for self-acceptance and growth.

Her clinical style combines warmth, compassion, and practicality. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, while also integrating mindfulness and strengths-based strategies. Each session is tailored to the unique needs of the individual, ensuring that clients feel seen, supported, and equipped with tools they can apply both in and outside of therapy.

What makes Bahiyya’s approach unique is the balance she brings between clinical expertise and authentic human connection. While she takes the work of healing seriously, she also believes in the importance of lightness and humor to create ease in the therapeutic process. Clients often find that laughter, alongside compassion and evidence-based practices, helps them feel both comforted and empowered.

Bahiyya’s ultimate goal is to help clients not only manage life’s challenges but also discover the strength and confidence to thrive.
