Pamela PollackClinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

About

I have always been interested in working within the mental health field. I enjoy working with people and helping them with being able to find a direction in their life. It is important for people to be able to have a nonjudgmental person who will allow them to share how they think and feel. I am able to offer that experience which always makes me feel as though I am helping someone create a better life for themselves. When a client comes into session, I provide them with the space and opportunity to share. I acknowledge what they say, express what I hear them saying and then ask them if this is accurate. If it is not accurate, then I ask for clarification to help me understand. Once I understand, I am able to help support them through whatever issue they feel they need to discuss. For me to build a strong therapeutic alliance with the client, I ask permission to complete a biopsychosocial.
