Lily Baker

Lily earned her Masters in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Washington in August of 2021 and her Bachelors from the University of Kentucky. While pursuing her undergraduate degree, she spent summers working as a camp counselor for NYC-based Stuttering Association for the Young. Here she developed a passion for empowering children’s self-advocacy skills and their authentic expression through creative outlets such as art, theater, dance, music, and movement. Throughout graduate school, her clinical experiences in pediatric clinics and at-home early intervention laid a foundational value of play-based therapy that is centered around each unique child and their family. She believes in the importance of open communication and ongoing collaboration with families and loves to work with her team for a whole-child approach. Her clinical interests include fluency, literacy, language and early language development, and social communication.

Lily is from Frankfort, Kentucky and has quickly embraced the Pacific Northwest lifestyle she was called to move to. In her free time she enjoys reading, playing guitar, yoga, biking, hiking, and camping. She is very excited to get to know the Hood River community!
