Polly Parks

My communication style

I am an open person, and I create a space of non-judgment, empathy, and patience. When we are together, it is your time. I'm comfortable with silence if that is what you need. Our communication helps me determine what you want and need in our work together. I'm here to be supportive.

My journey to mental healthcare

I had a complicated childhood, and therapy has helped me become a resilient, empathetic person. I am motivated every day by my desire to help people understand themselves. I am happy when I hear from clients that they feel some relief, and I have helped them break through obstacles and challenges that have been blocking their progress.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership. Together, we'll identify and set your goals. Your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it's always meaningful and relevant to you. I'm here to provide the support and tools you need to move closer to where you want to be.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity to get to know one another. I will ask what is bringing you to therapy now. We will discuss your goals and make a plan for our work together. At the end, we will go over how you liked the session. Did you feel comfortable? Did we address what you wanted to talk about?
