My goal is to support you in taking the time to truly understand yourself, your strengths, and your challenges so that you can make informed decisions about the direction of your life. I’m not interested in throwing a bunch of pills at you and calling it a day, but I want to help you understand what’s going on with your body and mind so that we can come up with some strategies that work for you. I want to help my patients find a way of being in a world based on self-compassion and kindness.

My goal is to empower clients with tools and strategies to build resilience, improve coping skills, and foster lasting positive change.

I’m so glad you are here! My personal philosophy around therapy is that it is a tool used to help you on your journey until you are ready to let go of the helping hand and navigate your world using the coping skills, tools and resources you gained in therapy. Allow me to help you navigate through this confusing time and help you regain your confidence in yourself. As your therapist I can guide you towards improving your mood and relationships as well as strengthening your copings skills and problem solving abilities so that what once felt unmanageable is now manageable.

Since 2004, I have worked extensively in various inpatient acute care environments in Medical as well as Behavioral Psychiatric Inpatient Units covering Adolescents, Acute Adults, Geriatric Med-Psych, and Psychiatric Intensive Care centered on the significantly impacted, underserved population. Through the years, I have cultivated an exquisite skill set and profound philosophy centered on providing compassionate and empathetic care to a diverse pool of patients grappling with various psychiatric and dual diagnoses, and behavioral health challenges. My passion to help individuals identify the incapacitating beliefs that are hindering them back in life and resolve how to move past them has been influential in forging a path towards an increased sense of power, mastery and triumph. I welcome you.

I believe therapy is a collaboration. I want to empower my clients and advocate for them throughout the therapeutic process. At the end of the day, I feel that each person is the expert on their own self, and at different seasons in our lives, we all need extra support and validation. I utilize an integrative style of therapy, meaning, I pull from many different schools of thought! Primarily, I use a Psychodynamic approach that is trauma-informed. I also utilize Reality Therapy and Mindfulness techniques. I invite you to reach out to me to schedule a free and casual introduction via phone to see if you believe I would be a good fit as your therapist.

Hi! I am Dr. Megan Pollock. I am a licensed psychologist. A little bit about me, I have been working in the mental health field for approximately 17 years. I have worked with a variety of ages from young kids to the elderly. I am a mother, wife, dog mom, avid exerciser, and psychologist. My approach to working with patients is holistic and developmental with a grounding in evidenced-based treatments. My work and being a mom taught me how important it is to recognize the developmental stage we are at in life. The older I get; the quicker life is going, and I believe we should optimize each day. Be who you want to be today, don’t put off living life. In my work with patients, I aim to help them make the most out of life now!
