Therapy can seem like a challenge at the beginning. The most important thing is that the client experiences a sense of safety and agency. I always appreciate when clients share openly about their struggles and communicate what they think is helpful. Clients already come with a lot of knowledge and experience. As a professional I aim to bring my skills and therapy experience to meet clients where they are at that moment. Good therapy involves both listening to the what each client needs and adapting my approach to help guide them and help them overcome challenges.

I am seeking adults who want therapy on an outpatient basis. Do you feel that there are things you need to address to live your happiest life? Has therapy seemed intimidating, unapproachable, or unnecessary in the past? Do you need a place to express yourself beyond your family, friends and social connections? Do you need help identifying obstacles or patterns that are keeping you from where you want to be?

After over 25 years in private practice (see www.JeanPollock.com ) I currently work with adult individuals using a fairly integrative approach. Of particular expertise are depression, anxiety, & childhood trauma and its manifestations in the body. More important than the particular issue, however, is my belief that times of stress in our lives -and even times that might seem particularly hopeless- can serve as opportunities for increased understanding and growth. Psychotherapy with a "seasoned" clinician can be a fascinating and effective tool to facilitate that transformation and growth.

Therapy is a collaborative journey of self discovery and integration. Its aim is wholeness. I draw on a variety of therapeutic frameworks to meet individuals where they are at and help them identify strengths and areas of growth in their life. Together we look at how thoughts, feelings and beliefs intersect with our life transitions and relational patterns and how they contribute to our sense of well being, or misalignment. By uncovering the needs under our feelings, we learn to take personal responsibility for expressing ourselves accurately and authentically, allowing us to feel heard, valued and understood.

Finding relief, support, meaning, and a clear path forward are the goals of most of my clients. We work together on both practical possibilities and internal understanding. A major part of the process is increasing the ability to really see and use the goodness within oneself to not only navigate complicated situations or recover from painful events but to find a sort of personal freedom capable of improving the quality of everyday life. Exercising this victory muscle can be a deeply spiritual endeavor. I invite you to call me to explore our potential for a mutually comfortable fit.

My theory of practice is centered in a foundation that individuals are the expert of their own experience and through transparency and flexibility, I seek to meet people and their needs through relational development and open discussion. I continue to utilize therapeutic approaches that are most mindful of the potential negative impacts associated with institutionalized models of care. I hope to engage as a collaborative partner in exploring your goals and possible approaches to reaching them. I am very interested in how we are shaped by our relationships to others and would be happy to explore ideas about those impacts with you.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
