Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

If you are looking for Therapy, congratulations on deciding to get help! I 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.

Mel Baum is one of the best therapists I've seen in 32 years. I've been seeing him for 2 years now, and the improvement in my condition has been incredible. He's compassionate, yet logical and extremely helpful in his treatment and life change suggestions. He always recommends excellent therapy exercises, books, and podcasts. Please give him a try, he's worth it.
