About Dr. Herschel Pollard

I have had over a half-century of clinical experience, and have worked with a broad variety of clients. I see each client as a unique individual with a distinct array of problems and questions. I do not limit myself to a specific “brand” of psychotherapy, but instead design a treatment approach to match the individual client’s needs, all the while recognizing that the client’s situation may evolve, priorities may change, new goals may arise, and that psychotherapy at its best is often a process of illuminating a path to self fulfillment.

“Dr. Pollard is very responsive, caring, supportive, and thoughtful in his approach. Highly recommend.”

“Dr. Pollard takes the time to get to know you as a person. I don’t need to have a problem in the forefront of my mind, he has baseline knowledge and the breadth of experience to bring something needed into focus. Dr. Pollard really cares about me as a person. I had already cancelled better help and one session changed my mind. I know I have problems that hurt me and he knows, too. He culls out those issues and holds me accountable. Dr. Pollard gives me guidance on my thought process and how to address my negative thought processes in the intervening time between sessions. It is not easy and it is the best I’ve felt doing any therapy, ever. I’m challenged to think and care about myself in a meaningful way every day.”
