Naomi Baum, PhD

Dr. Baum is the director of psychological services for a large, rural school district. She has been a pre-school, elementary, junior high and high school consulting psychologist for over twenty years. She also teaches psychology to education students at a local college, focusing on developmental psychology, adolescent psychology and educational psychology.

Dr. Baum received her undergraduate training at Bar-Ilan University in psychology, and completed her master's degree in school psychology and her Ph.D. in counseling and child development at Bryn Mawr College.

While she has accrued many degrees and much work experience, her real understanding of kids and families comes from being married to the same man for 25 years and raising, together with her husband, their seven children. Currently, four of those seven are teenagers! In her spare time (what spare time?) she can be found in the pool, or on the exercise bike catching up with her latest novel.
