You've built a life that looks like success. So why does it still feel like something's missing?
Therapy for high-achieving adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, OCD, and relationship crises in Denver, CO, and online across Colorado, Texas, Arkansas, and Illinois.
Who We Are
You're driven, capable, and accomplish more in 1 day than most people do all week. You've checked the boxes — education, career, relationships, routines. Yet, there's a persistent hum of overwhelm. A feeling that you're always behind, never quite enough, or secretly unraveling beneath a very polished surface.
That's not a character flaw. That's what anxiety, ADHD, and unresolved relationship pain look like in high-performing, high-level thinking people, and it's exactly what therapy at Nix Baker Wellness is built for.
Therapy that respects your intelligence — and finally meets you at your level.
I offer therapy for high-achieving adults and teens in Denver, CO, as well as online therapy for adults and teens in Colorado, Texas, Arkansas, and Illinois.
Our Services
Many high-achieving adults with ADHD look “successful” on the outside while feeling chronically overwhelmed, exhausted, or behind on the inside. You may be intelligent, capable, and driven—yet still struggling with focus, follow-through, emotional regulation, or burnout.
ADHD therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about understanding how your brain works and learning strategies that actually fit your life.
In therapy, we focus on:
Adult ADHD symptoms that often go unnoticed or misdiagnosed
Executive functioning challenges like time management, organization, and procrastination
Emotional overwhelm, shame, and self-criticism common in high performers
Co-occurring anxiety or relationship stress
ADHD Therapy for High-Achieving Adults
Anxiety in high-achieving adults often shows up as overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or feeling like you can never fully relax. You may be successful in your career but constantly on edge, mentally exhausted, or afraid of slowing down.
Anxiety therapy helps you move out of constant “high alert” mode and into a steadier, more grounded way of living—without losing your drive or ambition.
Our work may include:
Managing chronic stress and burnout
Reducing rumination, worry, and performance anxiety
Untangling anxiety from ADHD symptoms
Learning tools to calm your nervous system—not just your thoughts
Anxiety Therapy for Professionals
OCD in high-achieving adults rarely looks like the stereotype. It looks like intrusive thoughts you can't turn off, rituals that eat hours of your day, and certainty that never quite arrives no matter how much you check, research, or reassure yourself.
You've probably been managing it alone for years. Maybe you didn't even know it was OCD.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for OCD — and it's fundamentally different from talk therapy. It works by breaking the cycle that keeps OCD in charge
Common OCD presentations we treat:
Perfectionism and Performance OCD
The need to do things "just right" — redoing work, over-preparing, never feeling finished.
Intrusive Thoughts and Harm OCD
Disturbing thoughts that horrify you, followed by guilt and shame for having them.
Relationship OCD (ROCD)
Relentless doubt about your partner, your feelings, or whether your relationship is "right."
Health Anxiety OCD
Persistent fear of illness that reassurance — from doctors, Google, or anyone else — never fully quiets.
Pure O
Primarily mental obsessions with no obvious external rituals — one of the most commonly missed OCD presentations.
Food Allergy OCD
When legitimate allergy awareness crosses into OCD territory, including hypervigilance, avoidance, and rituals that expand far beyond what safety actually requires.
Emetophobia (Fear of Vomiting)
A specific OCD presentation that goes far beyond ordinary disgust. This is the fear of vomiting, seeing others vomit, or encountering vomit. The fear leads to compulsive behaviors such as restrictive eating, social avoidance, and a life increasingly organized around one fear.
OCD & ERP Therapy
Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling
Couples often seek therapy when communication breaks down, trust is damaged, or the relationship feels emotionally unsafe. For high-functioning couples, this can be especially painful—everything may look “fine” from the outside while feeling deeply disconnected behind closed doors. Nix Baker Wellness and Therapy specializes in:
Infidelity
Betrayal
Communication
Reconnection
Couples therapy offers a structured, supported space to slow things down, understand what’s really happening, and decide how to move forward
Discernment Counseling and Divorce
When one partner is leaning out of the relationship and the other is unsure—or still fighting—traditional couples therapy may not feel like the right fit. Discernment counseling is designed for couples facing this crossroads.
Rather than trying to “fix” the relationship, discernment counseling helps you gain clarity and confidence about your next step.
Discernment counseling helps couples:
Slow down impulsive decisions
Understand how the relationship reached this point
Explore whether to pursue reconciliation, separation, or divorce
Make thoughtful decisions with less regret and resentment
This service is especially helpful for high-achieving couples who value intentionality, clarity, and emotional responsibility.
Betrayal Recovery Therapy
Infidelity and betrayal don't just damage a relationship — they destabilize your entire sense of reality. You start questioning your own perception, your judgment, and everything you thought you knew about the person you built your life with.
Betrayal trauma is real, clinically documented, and not something you can simply decide to move past on a timeline that makes sense to anyone around you. It requires a specific kind of support — not generic couples counseling, and not pressure to forgive before you're ready.
Betrayal recovery therapy at Nix Baker Wellness is designed for individuals processing the aftermath of infidelity and couples deciding whether and how to rebuild. We work at a pace that honors the weight of what happened — and helps you make your next decision from a clear, grounded place rather than a reactive one.
Work in this area may include:
Stabilizing your nervous system so you can think clearly and function
Making sense of what happened without excusing it
Deciding what you actually want — independent of pressure or guilt
Rebuilding trust, or rebuilding yourself, depending on where this leads

About Brittany Baker, LCSW
I'm Brittany Baker, LCSW-S — a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience specializing in anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and relationship crisis work.
I work with high-achieving adults and couples who are used to handling things on their own—but have reached a point where that’s no longer working. Many of my clients are people who are used to being the most capable person in the room and still can't figure out why they feel so stuck.
My approach to therapy is direct, practical, deeply relational, and grounded in understanding how anxiety, ADHD, and relationship dynamics intersect with high-pressure lives. I’ll work hard with you, tell you the truth, collaborate with you, and respect your intelligence and lived experience.
Therapy here isn't about starting over. It's about finally understanding yourself clearly enough to move forward.
You don't have to have it all figured out to start.
If you've been waiting until things get bad enough, or until you have more time, or until you're sure therapy will actually help — this is the sign to stop waiting.
