If you have been searching for financial counseling near you or a financial therapist near you are looking for someone who understands and has integrated the psychology of money with people’s financial realities. That is exactly the work Maggie Baker, Ph.D. does.

As a psychologist and financial therapist serving Greater Philadelphia, Maggie helps you uncover the beliefs, habits, and emotions driving your money decisions, so you can feel in control instead of controlled. This is money therapy grounded in real clinical training, not a budgeting worksheet and not generic financial advice.

Couples and relationship therapy

Money is one of the most common sources of conflict between partners. Through couples counseling focused on financial issues for couples, Maggie helps partners move from arguing about money to making decisions as a team. She also offers relationship therapy for communication breakdowns, repair to trust, and connection, whether or not finances are the central issue.

ADHD and ADD therapy for adults and children

Maggie provides ADHD/ADD assessment for adults and children. Adult ADHD/ADD often goes undiagnosed for years and quietly affects focus, planning, finances, and self-esteem. Therapy focuses on practical strategies for structure, follow-through, and confidence building that result in emotional balance and cognitive clarity

Who Maggie helps in the Philadelphia area

Maggie works with people across Greater Philadelphia who are capable and successful yet still carry money anxiety, financial avoidance, or money conflict at home. Many are executives, business owners, attorneys, physicians, and finance professionals who have worked with an advisor or accountant and found that the plan never touched the feelings underneath. Others come for relationship therapy or adult ADHD/ADD support and discover that money stress is part of the picture. Wherever you start, the goal is the same: lasting relief, not another spreadsheet.

In-person and online therapy across Philadelphia and Pennsylvania

Maggie sees clients in person at her Wynnewood office on the Main Line, just minutes from Philadelphia, and offers secure online therapy for clients throughout Pennsylvania. In-person sessions suit those who prefer a private, face-to-face setting, while virtual financial therapy and online counseling make it easy to get expert support from anywhere in the state. Both formats offer the same discreet, confidential, judgment-free care.

If you have searched for online therapy near me or virtual financial counseling in Pennsylvania, telehealth sessions give you access to a seasoned Ph. D. psychologist without the commute. Schedule a Consultation to ask which option is right for you.

Why choose a financial therapist with doctoral training

Most people who help with money are trained only in money. Maggie Baker, Ph.D. is a licensed Ph.D. psychologist who specializes in the psychology of money, a rare combination almost no financial advisor or financial coach can offer. When you look for a financial therapist or money counselor near Philadelphia, the credential matters. There is a real difference between a weekend certification, a financial coach, and a clinically trained psychologist.

Maggie brings genuine authority to the work. She is the author of Crazy About Money, a featured expert in the Financial Times on money dysmorphia, included in MoneySense’s Top 25 Timeless Personal Finance Books, and a co-author with the Financial Resilience Institute. That depth is why Philadelphia area clients, and the advisors, accountants, and attorneys who refer them, trust her with sensitive money conversations.

Work with a psychologist who treats the root of money stress, not just the symptoms.
