The Retained Advisory About Insights & Case Perspectives ContactCall or write directly. Christopher Baker responds personally to initial inquiries, generally within one business day when possible. Retained clients have direct access, including after hours, according to the terms of the engagement. Whenever appropriate, Baker Private Advisory favors an initial in-person consultation: serious behavioral health and substance use concerns are often best understood through direct engagement, careful observation, and time with the people involved. A first conversation helps determine whether this work is appropriate and whether an initial in-person meeting makes sense. All inquiries and engagements are handled discreetly and in confidence. Information is managed directly by Christopher Baker and governed by applicable professional, legal, ethical, safety, and authorization requirements.
Clients work directly with Christopher Baker from the first conversation through the engagement.
The first conversation carries no obligation. You describe the situation, and Christopher Baker will tell you honestly whether and how the firm can be useful, and what an engagement would look like. If it is not the right fit, he says so. No intake form, no organizational process, no intermediary.
Please share only what you are comfortable putting in writing. Sensitive details can be discussed by phone once the appropriate structure is clear.
Baker Private Advisory is not an emergency response service. If there is imminent risk of harm, a medical emergency, or a psychiatric emergency, call 911, 988, or go to the nearest emergency department.
All inquiries are held in strict confidence. Baker Private Advisory operates entirely outside insurance: no billing intermediaries, no reimbursement-driven documentation. The firm is a sole retained advisory with no intake team, case-assignment process, or internal staff layer. Information is handled directly by Christopher Baker and governed by applicable professional, legal, and ethical obligations.
"The first call is not a clinical service. It is a private conversation to understand what brought you here, determine whether the firm is the right resource, and explain what an engagement could look like. That honesty is what the engagement is built on."
Christopher Baker
You do not need to explain everything in writing. Christopher will ask enough to understand the situation, determine whether Baker Private Advisory is the right resource, and explain what an engagement could look like. If the matter requires emergency care, legal counsel, medical care, or another resource first, he will say that directly.
All inquiries are handled discreetly and in confidence. A first inquiry is private and exploratory. It does not create a treatment relationship or formal advisory engagement; formal work begins only when the engagement structure is agreed. Baker Private Advisory is not a substitute for emergency, medical, legal, fiduciary, or therapeutic care. Once an engagement is established, information is governed by applicable professional, legal, and ethical obligations.
