I worked with therapist Brent Baumler for 6 months. Before this my life was consumed with the…read morethoughts of the family I worked with. There was little communication between us and the relationship we did have was taken for granted. Within 6 months of therapy with Brent, my problem with them was solved. First, Brent had me enumerate the stresses associated with the roles I had with these people. Then we developed a plan of action to reduce these stressors. One assignment was to list pros & cons of asserting myself. An example was the erosion of my relationship with my spouse caused by my rumination on the problem. I was also worried about the pressure getting to me and having an outburst of emotion with these relatives which would greatly damage our relationship. The pros, which I learned from listing my values and how I demonstrated them, helped to justify my faith in myself, and reduced the tension I felt when I talked to them to set boundaries. All in all, my relationship became a win-win between my family and myself with Brent giving me guidance and support to achieve my goal.

I was a client at Waters Edge for almost two years. I really loved it for the first year, and…read moredidn't really have anything bad to say about it. I did the adult ED IOP for a few months, saw an therapist and dietitian, and even saw a medication management provider. I LOVED my therapist and dietitian. They were such great fits for me, which I was not expecting because I have been through so many providers historically that were not great fits. However, after one year, everything changed. My therapist was randomly dropped off the face of the earth, and out of nowhere I got a phone call saying "sorry your therapist doesn't work here anymore." Then, I was assigned another random therapist who just happen to have an opening. Shortly after, several other providers also dropped off the face of the earth at waters edge... and out of nowhere patients were all without providers. Patients who already have trust issues, were given no closure with the provider they had built trust with, when the owner of waters edge could have at least allowed providers to explain they would no longer be working for waters edge. That aside, I also was really frustrated with the financial department. I am so blessed with great health insurance. Therefore, I only had a $20.00 copayments each visit. I was pretty good about making my copayments at the time of service. However, there were a few weeks I would forget- sometimes even a couple weeks in a row. And, at one point, I had $40.00 outstanding (two copayments), and Kristy called me several times to threaten "placing my account on hold, which meant cancelling my current standing appointments and not allowing me to be seen, until the balance was paid in full." It was $40.00!!!!! TWO VISITS! I simply forgot... and, I explained this to Kristy. Therefore, I was so frustrated that she would call me more than once, and over such a small amount of money. I feel guilty posting negative things, because as I explained- when I was seeing my original providers, everything was great! I sung praises about waters edge and was more than willing to make the commute to Burnsville. However, things dramatically changed over the last few months I was a client there.

Disappointed is an understatement. I have been looking for a new therapist for awhile and finally…read moregot an appointment to see Kathryn. I have been waiting weeks and was really going through a hard time. I was so excited when the day came I logged in and was waiting. It was now 10min past my session so I called the front office and they said that they called me because Kathryn had to reschedule. I had no call and no voicemail telling me that so I was out of luck that day and extremely down and disappointed not to mention wasted time waiting for no reason. We rescheduled that first appointment she missed for 2 weeks later for her next opening. The day right before this appointment they now called and said that she has to reschedule AGAIN because she now has a personal appointment. Did she not look at her calendar to see she has someone that has now been waiting over 2 months and has been blown off twice? I cried a lot after hearing that because like I said I have been struggling mentally and really needing to talk to someone. I am still looking for a new therapist but would never consider making yet a third appointment to just be blown off again. I can't go somewhere that is clearly not taking the people who are waiting to get in to see them seriously. Its just really disappointing because some people really need that time to talk to someone and get even deeper in depression when they can't.

I don't even recall signing paperwork. She attempted to hold therapy that other therapists would later say was not emotionally safe to have before terminating their sessions. Additionally, I don't know where my ex found her, but she was very one sided from the go which is why I left the session so early in the first place. I'm giving her a 1 star simply because her license appears to have been valid and she had an office and because zero wasn't an option. I think this woman probably causes more damage than she heals. I noticed in her history section on this site, as of the date I'm writing this, that she states that the people who contribute "defamatory" reviews are using maladaptive behavior and not accepting responsibility for the harm they cause their families which is gaslighting at its finest (although I'm not licensed, I read a lot and it doesn't take an expert to recognize). I would think twice about using this woman's services. I can assure you that there are much more experienced therapists in this same area of therapy that do not have the negative and very telling reviews that this woman has. I would also like to add that I have had full legal and physical custody of my child since about the same time she wrote her report.

Is very unprofessional and will sit and scroll through her phone during your visitation. She butts into every conversation even though no one is talking to her.

You will end up not saying anything to get on her good side so she writes positive reports but she will stab you in the back so don't trust her. Use any other business except this company. She is only into the MONEY and was making $1000.00 per month off visitations and phone calls. By the way, she does not remember when your phone calls are scheduled and frequently misses your calls and does not apologize. She will make up stories and she plays favorites and will always side with the custodial parent no matter what you say. She will also say she is counseling you but never does it.

Her only objective is to take your money and will NEVER provide a positive review so she can continue her scam train of cash.
