Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for LINDA Pollack. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Linda has been wonderful & that is just after 2 appointments
I was nervous to start therapy because of past experiences, but Linda has been amazing and it feels incredible to finally work on myself and some things I have held onto all these years. Right now I can feel that I am in the healing process and this is only a start. Thank you!
Linda is fantastic! She has helped me tremendously with my struggles. She is very welcoming, comforting, listens to me deeply, and understands my issues. We break down my patterns, emotions, reactions, etc. to get to the underlying issues and causes of my trauma.
It helps me to know I'm not alone and that someone "gets it." Thank you so much for a very helpful first session.
Thank you, for being such a great listener and helping me sort out primary current concerning my situation.
Linda clearly conveyed she had my best interest in mind and reminded me that my time is valuable to both of us.
This woman is saving my life one session at a time. Shes a God send. Thank you
Ive only had one session with Linda, but she is vivacious and honest, and understands my issues and how to work on them. I'm really looking forward to our next session.
Pleasure to work with
Linda is a great listener and helped guide me through a really rough time. I'm very grateful for her.
Linda has been a great therapist/counselor so far. She is very keen in wanting to know your story, and provides meaningful ways to help process it (whether that be from giving examples, some personal, some general life things, to worksheets and studies that show potential ways of moving forward from whatever your situation may be). She is very easy to talk to, and can help turn some things into laughter, and I have found that being at peace with a few things...and being able to look back and laugh, it's a great feeling. Some things will never be like that, and she also helps with learning to accept that what happened happened, and ways to move forward.
I started therapy with Linda in one of the roughest times of my life and she has been so helpful in navigating it. Thank you!
Linda has been fabulous. I look forward to her guidance. She listens to all my problems and offers resolutions. I’m so thrilled to have found her!
Linda has no interest in telling me how I need to live my life. Instead, she provides a mirror for me to see things clearly and the tools to help me make the necessary changes to live my best life. No judgement but no fluff either, she’s a straight shooter and I love it. Very grateful
I have been working for Linda for a few weeks now. She has been very helpful and I look forward to working with her more as time goes on. Thank you, Linda.
up to this point it has been a pleasure speaking and working with Linda i hope to keep going down this path of healing.
My daughter has been receiving counseling for 3 months from Linda Pollack: she has developed more confidence and independence. She is learning how to prioritize her own needs rather than be influenced by others. I am very happy with counseling she is receiving from Linda Pollack: I think she is great with my daughter and she knows how to help teenagers.
Linda is amazing! She is very kind, understanding and very knowledgeable. Always does her best to try to make situations easier to deal with.
My daughter has really grown in her time with Linda. I appreciate the feedback for concerns I have and my daughter feels a connection with Linda.
Counseling with Mrs. Pollack has been a nice light that I look forward to every week.
Linda is excellent. I am able to communicate with with ease. Linda is an excellent listener but also knows when to stop me, by interjecting with ways to change the narrative. I am thankful for Linda's expertise in PTSD, LGBTQ, and Trauma. Linda is currently guiding me through a career and relationship shift. Highly recommend.
I had a wonderful first session and are looking forward to continuing sessions
I absolutely recommend Linda! She is amazing!
