Meet Our Leadership

Baker Neuropsychology and Learning Center is a true family endeavor.

A Denver native, Dr. David Baker has spent over 15 years helping families navigate the complexities of neuropsychology. When he’s not in the clinic, you’ll likely find him watching his daughters on the court and in the field, cheering on the local sports teams, or enjoying Colorado’s great outdoors—whether he’s hiking a trail or skiing a fresh powder day.

Supporting the educational side of our mission is Liza Baker, who brings over two decades of experience in education to our practice.

As parents to two teenagers, we understand firsthand the joys and challenges of raising children in today’s world. We aren’t just practitioners; we are a family dedicated to supporting yours.

  • Dr. Baker is a Board-Certified Neuropsychologist with over 15 years of specialized clinical experience. Before founding Baker Neuropsychology and Learning Center, he served as a pediatric neuropsychologist at two of the nation’s premier institutions: Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and Children’s Hospital Colorado. Throughout his career, he has evaluated thousands of children presenting with complex medical and neurological conditions, including traumatic brain injuries (concussion to severe TBI), cerebral palsy, and neuromuscular disorders.

    Dr. Baker’s journey began in the classroom as an elementary educator. His firsthand observation of the diverse ways children learn and behave sparked a lifelong dedication to understanding the brain-behavior relationship. This unique dual-background allows him to bridge the gap between clinical data and classroom reality.

    Specializing in comprehensive evaluations for ADHD, learning disorders (Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia), and neurodevelopmental conditions like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Dr. Baker utilizes a whole-person approach. By identifying each patient’s distinct cognitive and emotional profile, his assessments provide a roadmap to advance functioning at home and school, ultimately enhancing the child's overall quality of life.

  • With over 20 years in education, Liza brings a wealth of experience to our practice. Her career spans prestigious institutions across the country, including Denver’s Graland Country Day School and The Logan School, as well as The McGillis School in Salt Lake City and Pace Academy in Atlanta. As a mother of two, she offers the unique perspective of seeing child development through the eyes of both an educator and a parent.

    Liza holds a Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) and a degree in Sociology, fueling her passion for supporting the 'whole child.' Liza is extensively trained in Orton-Gillingham—widely recognized as the gold standard for literacy instruction.

  • As our practice grows, our mission remains the same: providing the highest level of care for your family. To better serve our community, we have expanded our team to include providers who share our clinical philosophy and commitment to excellence.

    Whether you schedule with Dr. Baker or one of our trusted associates, you can rest assured you are working with a highly qualified specialist. We are incredibly selective in our hiring process—only bringing on providers who meet our rigorous standards for expertise, empathy, and clinical precision.
