Endeavor Balance was born as a blog to document my personal journey, advocate for mental health awareness and encourage others to strive for balance between their mental and physical well-being. However, the name was chosen with the intention to be more.
My name is Shenise Baker, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida and the founder of Endeavor Balance, LLC. Helping others has always been a passion of mine. Since 2017 I have worked with children, couples, and families in the child welfare system. Through this work I have acquired specific interests in counseling individuals who have experienced complex trauma, adolescents/young adults transitioning out of foster care to adulthood, and adoption counseling with couples and families.
I was born and raised in the U.S. Virgin Islands but currently reside in Orlando, FL. My warm, empathetic, and genuine nature allows me to build a strong connection with you. I enjoy using a strength based, person-centered approach to empower you to make positive changes and work through challenges. Various therapeutic modalities are employed and are uniquely tailored to you.
Allow me to support and guide you. Endeavor Balance prioritizes your journey towards healing and finding your balance.
