About

Andrea Polk, Ph.D., QME

Deciding to seek assistance from a professional isn't easy.I find that people often think, "I should be able to handle this myself- how can a stranger help?"Unaided, you may have tried numerous approaches to regain emotional equilibrium, get physical health back on track, overcome depression, anxiety, disorganization, "burnout", or confront relationship conflicts.Maybe you've even thought of giving up on yourself. During stressful times, choosing an experienced, trustworthy, skilled psychologist who is well matched to your issues and goals can be especially challenging.
This choice is too important to leave to insurance lists or websites "guaranteeing" an empathic experience. Our first session should demonstrate my accurate understanding of the issues bringing you in, identify workable goals, and provide a focused, concrete strategy for restoring an emotional/ functional balance as quickly as possible.
We all confront normal, developmental crises throughout our lives: depression, stress overload,grief,divorce, parenting, health concerns, work issues. Yet our "default" response is often one of harsh self-criticism. Through our work, we will collaboratively identify. goals, devise a strategic plan, and, using concrete tools, allow authentic change to occur.
