Dr. Baum is an extremely effective therapist. Her kind and authentic approach to empathetic listening and compassionate understanding met me where I was and helped me grow as a person. I was suffering with anxiety and depression when I first reached out to her and was desperate for help. By the end of our first session, I had several new strategies to help deal with those feelings. Through our work, I came to understand myself better than I ever have and I no longer struggle with anxiety and depression. I am a kinder, gentler person to myself and those around me. I am a better husband, a better father, and happier in all aspects of my life as a result of what I learned working with Dr. Baum, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Joanne is a brilliant therapist. My life completely turned around thanks to her. I have been sober for over a year, and I am not going back. Life is sweeter on this side of sobriety than any drink can promise. It is easy to say that now, thanks to my work in therapy, but if you had tried to tell me that 2 years ago, I would have told you to get lost.

"The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off."

Getting sober set me free after pissing me off. Joanne provided the wisdom and guidance I needed, exactly when I needed it. She told me uncomfortable truths about the path I have been on and the path I needed. She let me vent my frustration and fear. She helped me move forward.

Call Joanne when you are ready for your life to improve.

Call her when you are ready to explore your healing and feel the pain that goes along with healing. I know--pain with healing?--it sounds weird, but trust me, it is part of the process. I wish it weren't. If I can do it, you can too.

Do your research before working with Joanne Baum. She has been disciplined by the Colorado licensing board for gross misconduct including issuing defaming comments and making custody recommendations about a person she had never met or spoken with. The case number for this incident is 2008-3408 and is accessible on the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies website.

I had the misfortune of having Joanne be recommended by the courts as therapy for my little brother and I when we were being taken out of our parents home by my step grandparents/ my brothers grandparents. She worked with us when I was 14-15 years old and my little brother was 10. She pretended to be very caring and got me to open up to her. She lied on the stand about what I confided in her and she then in turn told everything I ever really did tell her to my step grandparents who punished me for it, over and over. I did not want to be in their house. My step grandmother was a prescription drug addict, and my step grandfather was a full blown alcoholic. They also fought verbally like you couldn't imagine. They desperatley wanted my little brother because he was their blood, but they didn't want me. Needless to say it was not a good situation. Joanne and their lawyer collaberated that if they wanted their concern for my little brother to seem genuine that they would have to remove the other child from the bad situation too. We were allowed to be taken from our mother, and my stepdad (brothers dad) because they had substance abuse problems. We were not allowed to see them by court order because it was supposed to be detrimenting to us. Joanne told my step grandparents how I felt about living with them and how I wanted to be back with my mother. This enabled my step-grandparents control over me. They recorded every phone conversation I had, stole letters my sister and real grandparents wrote, and literally made me to feel like I was scum, always confining me to my room, calling me names, and telling me I would be a low life just like my mother. I confided multiple incidents to Joanne only to be punished later. They also allowed their son, my step father to move in against court order. Joanne knew about this and chose to do nothing because she was being paid very well. My step father ended up raping me multiple times when my step grandparents were not home. He told me he wanted to get back at my mother for leaving him. I finally told a close girlfriend and her stepmother as a social worker pulled me out of the house. Even with a recorded confession over the phone between my stepfather and I (recorded by Arvada Police Department) - my step grandparents said they did not a believe a word that comes out of my mouth and that they did not want me back in their home and I went into social services. They then skipped town with my little brother and I haven't seen him since. I had my family torn apart, was physicaly, emotionally, and sexually abused, and have not seen my little brother in 14 years since this all happened. Joanne never stood up for what was right even knowing about the abuse, she put me in a position to be tortured at home for telling the truth, and she was dishonest in trying to gain trust from me. Now almost 15 years later I am still remembering the pain and torment she brought into my life. I have worked with a few professionals in my adult life and they have helped very much, but it was very hard taking that step after being burned so bad by the wonderful Dr. Joanne Baum who lied her way through our case for a fat pay check. I have no forgiveness in my heart for Joanne Baum. I hate to think that Joanne is still able to play that role in any other child's life. She is dishonest, and extremely unethical. I would strongly recommend you not leave your children in her care!

I have known Joanne for eight years, and have always respected her and her work in the world. Recently, I had the opportunity to work with her as a therapist regarding some personal challenges. I received sessions of Brain Spotting and had immediate positive results. Physical pain in my neck and shoulders has begun to leave my body after years of tension and anxiety. Her gentle approach and gifted therapeutic trauma work, has given me hope for a more comfortable future. I highly recommend her for core healing and deeper process work.
