Great to meet you!

My name is Paul Baum, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). My approach to therapy is focusing on the person's needs and developing a therapeutic relationship with compassion, empathy, and respect. My focus areas of practice include multiple years of experience working with the LGBTQ+ community, teens, and adults.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Typically I work with teens and adults, with focus on the LGBTQ+ community. I have training in WPATH and Riverside County Behavioral Health with Gender Affirming and LGBTQ+ care.

I am most comfortable treating Gender Affirmation, Sexuality, Anxiety Disorders, and Depression.

The most common theoretical approaches I use, include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Gender Affirming Care, Sexuality Affirming Care, and Art Therapy.
