Hello, I am Mel Baum LPC, a therapist in Kansas City for 23 years. I look forward to meeting you and working together to help you find your way to healing and wholeness. Each person is unique I believe in working together in the way that results in the most comfortable experience and best outcome for you situation.

I will bring my education, experience, and focus to your sessions to find the right approach and process for your needs. There are many types of therapy and techniques that help patients to get well or improve the situation or diagnoses causing discomfort. Together we will find solutions that improve or solve your problem or condition.

Sometimes people can not contain their feelings of suffering and sadness while others have trouble expressing the amount of discomfort or pain they feel inside. Both are ok and each person deserves to be heard, understood and feel validated no matter how comfortable they are discussing their life and emotions. .

Take the first step to help. Call or Email Melvin Baum now - (816) 728-0541
