Reviews of Baume Psychological Services, P.C. (Psychiatrist)

Vicki Cupp

This place is a joke ! If you need a counselor/ Therapist please find ones that are licensed and qualified to help. I ask the owner of this practice what their qualifications are and what degrees do they have ? He replied they are self employed independent contractors I’m not sure ? well that’s scary! I’m so Thankful I was not in a emergency mental crisis they are not equipped! Please do not waste your time! Your life and wellbeing is to important, just because they are located in Carmel In does not make them a better .

No, I wouldn’t recommend this service to anyone. The counselor I had just listened and had no input. I’m on the spectrum so I’ve been to a few counseling services, so this wasn’t a first time therapy session for me. I told my counselor that my dad was autistic and she said something like, “ how could he be, they didn’t have that back then.” He was diagnosed at a Mayo Clinic in 1944. I’m not going to debate a fact with someone who isn’t knowegable, has no idea what they are talking about. There’s more negative stuff I can add but I’ll just say, skip it.

Horrible. I had to cancel my appointment last minute and was basically told there's no way I can schedule another appointment. The reason was because the wait list was too long. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Took my son to Dr Baume. He made my son feel very comfortable, worked with us as a family and I was very impressed with his ability to connect and make real ch age for my son! Absolutely would recommend!!!

Throughout numerous sessions, Dr. Baume has been nothing but helpful, patient, and extremely generous with his time. He has equipped me with numerous tools and I honestly sometimes feel like he's provided me with a book of cheat codes for my child. While the hard work still has to take place on our own time, Dr. Baume is fantastic at giving us goals to work toward and showing us examples of how to achieve those goals. Cannot recommend enough.

Office is great, therapy rooms are beautiful and very comfortable. Jennifer Hershburger (sp?) is wonderful, best therapist I've ever had

I would not recommend this office to anyone. My 5 year old son was seen by one of the social workers that had very little experience and did not know how to talk to small children. It seems that we were added to her schedule because she wasn’t busy at all. We were scheduled immediately and seen I believe the next day. After a few sessions, I quickly realized this therapist was not right for us. When I called to voice my concerns and switch to a therapist better suited for my son, Dr. Baume said he could not help us. Really? You’re turning away people that need your help? I really hope this isn’t happening to other people. We ended up going to another office that was very responsive and very willing to help us. Now my son has the help he needs.

Dr. Baume is great. "Really awesome, amazing. He helped me" words from my eight year old son.

I have a long list of issues pertaining to Derek Baume himself as well as one of his ‘Independent Licensed Contractors’ as he likes to call them, also known as a therapist. I requested copies of my files from the one session I was unfortunate enough to attend with Jennifer Hershberger. I was appalled at what I read. My intake forms were filled with disgusting lies, falsified information, Jennifer’s tacky and distasteful opinions on myself, as well as information regarding topics which were never even discussed or mentioned. When I contacted the owner of the company to express my level of hurt, confusion, and request for answers, Derek was every bit of rude and dismissive. Derek was the least bit concerned with resolution to any of my issues and told me to file a complaint with the Attorney Generals Office. Which I might add was immediately done per request by Derek himself. Insurance fraud is also an issue at hand that is being dealt with accordingly. My God people, from the bottom of my heart, If you respect yourself and take mental health seriously, I urge you to seek care, guidance, and compassion from qualified individuals elsewhere who can offer you personalized treatment plans with success!

I'd give a this office a negative rating, if I could. I cancelled an appointment in January 2015 and was charged a "late cancel" fee. However I spoke to someone in the office and explained the therapist wasn't working for my son and we wouldn't be back. They said they would adjust the fee. Then much to my surprise, 2.5 years later I was sent to collections for a $35 fee. Collections! I called and was told by the office "there was nothing they could do." In a service industry, you should provide good service. This office doesn't do that.

The counselor for my 7 year old didn't know some basic terms likes "transitions" which is a common struggle for children with ADD. That was a big flag but decided try a second week. When he got upset at the office and was crying loudly, I pulled him out of the session and said I was taking him home. We headed for the back door. The owner told me if my son was going to be upset, he couldn't go there. Well, if he didn't get upset about things, he wouldn't NEED to go there. So if your kid actually needs behavioral help, they can't help you? Pointless waste of time.

I highly recommend Baume Psychological Services, P.C. This office is very nice and comfortable. Since day one, I have received the most professional service and care. I appreciate the flexibility in scheduling and the fact that my counselor takes the time to schedule our sessions, personally. While it's important for counselors/therapists and clients to be the right 'fit', it's not always an easy task to accomplish the 'fit' part. My experience has been 'the perfect fit' with my counselor. The reception/front desk is very friendly and pays attention to details when working with me, as well. I'm so glad that I found an office that could help me, when I needed it most.

I took my 9 year old son for an intake and because there is currently active court due to his father wanting to lower child support they did not want to see him and said they would refer us to practices who can handle "higher conflict". I was shocked. He was very comfortable there and excited to see her for therapy. Last night I had to tell him he can't go and he was near tears. He's had a tough few years and it was another blow. What is therapy for if not to be an outlet while dealing with conflict? Shame on them.
