Meet Dr. Francis J Baird
We all find ourselves at points in life when our capacity to cope is just not enough for the difficulties that face us. Problems fall on a continuum from a little to a lot, and when they begin to negatively impact our ability to function in important life areas, such as decision-making, it helps to have an impartial, nonjudgmental person to confide in. To paraphrase Dante "In the middle of this journey we call life I found myself in the middle of a dark wood with no clear path." Sometimes it helps to have a guide with a light.

I often tell clients that I am a coach and cheerleader but they have to play the life game.
I believe that my counseling style, cognitive behavioral though also eclectic, is adaptable to most people. My background includes a variety of treatment venues in the public, private, hospital based, and alcohol and drug treatment centers, as well as life experiences that I believe give me a unique perspective of empathy with pain and recovery.
