Meet Kelley Pollard, our expert therapist for children, teens and young adults! Kids, teens, and college students alike are experiencing an enormous amount of change and transition daily. Whether it's friendships, family relationships, depression, anxiety, pressure to perform academically, or pressure to perform as a student-athlete, you name it, it's happening. Additionally, more and more children and young adults are neurodiverse or possibly autistic. Kelley Pollard, our clinical child therapist, is here to provide mental health services to children, teens, college students, and student-athletes.
Kelley has years of experience specifically with children, teens, and college students. With her background of working with the school population, she also specializes in working with students receiving special education services. As a Black-owned practice, Matter of Focus Counseling prides itself in being a culturally aware and trauma-informed practice.
Understand that it's ok to say "I don't know how to fix THIS (insert whatever "THIS" is here." It's also OK and appropriate for you, as a parent, to seek outside help for your most precious gift(s)...the child(ren) in your life. We are here to help your child and family work through whatever life stressors currently faced. Let's get started TODAY!
