Dr. Katelyn Baker

Hey, I’m Dr. Katelyn, the Director of Mental Health at HSConnect and a proud HS warrior since I was 6 years old. With my Psy.D from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology and my experience with social media/activism, I’m on a mission to create free mental health resources for the HS community—and trust me, we’re just getting started!

I’m also a foster mom, part of the LGBTQ+ fam, and my household is ruled by a sassy cat named Todd and two lovable chaos machines, Dauber and Tripp. In my spare time I can be found playing Fortnite (yes, really) or crocheting a funky hat. My work is all about helping others feel seen, heard, and empowered to embrace self-love. I'm so glad you're here and I am always around to answer questions/take suggestions!
