    I haven't had the courage to say anything or speak up about this til now, but this happened around…read more10 years ago. I had Mel as a counselor when I was 16, and I can say now as a 27 year old, he was the worst therapist I've ever had. I almost always felt worse about myself after each session, and I felt like he only ever cared about how my father and how my step mother felt about me through the entire experience. My stepmom was sending him emails about negative opinions she held towards me, and he took her opinions as fact and made me feel degraded and worthless in our sessions and would question me on why I couldn't deal with my abusive parents better. It got to the point where this therapist suggested and fully convinced me that I had an electra complex and was mad at my father for having a new woman in his life besides me. I was just trying to vent about how my stepmother randomly infiltrated my childhood home, flipped my entire life upside down, and was verbally abusing me, and his first and only focus was on how I as a 16 year old child saw my father as a sexual counterpart. Some backwards Freudian shit. He thought that I was mad that I was being replaced as the dominant woman in the household. This has messed with me to this day, I fully Do Not agree with that diagnoses, but to this day he makes me question things about my own health that I know are untrue and that deeply unsettles me. He constantly betrayed my confidentiality because my dad and stepmom would suddenly just know things I talked about in therapy, and my experiences with this therapist made me resist therapy for years based on his ineffectiveness of counseling. I would recommend he not be a registered therapist on just my experience as a child in his care alone, but I just don't know what other minors have been in his care since then and are also scared to speak up. Please anyone else, see this as an indicator that you are not alone

    If you are looking for Therapy, congratulations on deciding to get help!…read moreI hope Mel is a good fit you and I hope you are able to meet with him, he's great! But if not, keep looking! You're worth it! I have worked with Mel Baum LPC in the past. Mel is always professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming. He treats everyone with respect and allows them to feel comfortable while working toward common goals. It may be important to point out that Mel is able to use the best technology to meet and be with you wherever you are. I have communicated with Mel through telephone calls, text message, even video visits on both my computer and my smartphone. Mel's flexibility brings great value to all the services he provides.
