Chanel Pollard, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Chanel!

My approach

In our work together, I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These evidence-based approaches help clients gain insight, develop practical coping tools, and move toward the life they want to build.

My communication style

I believe safety, trust, and collaboration are vital to therapy, and I welcome feedback throughout our work together. We’ll build on your strengths, foster resilience, and create space for growth and healing in a supportive, empowering way. Together, we’ll create a space where you can explore, heal, and grow, at your own pace, in your own way.

Our first session

Our first session will be relaxed; we will complete the intake and get to know each other, and identify your goals. Whether you’re seeking relief from overwhelming emotions, hoping to better understand yourself, or looking to make meaningful changes in your life, I hope to walk alongside you with empathy, curiosity, and respect.
