Miriam Pollack, Founder and Director of the Literacy and Language Center, diagnoses and remediates children with mild to profound learning difficulties using the multi-sensory, data driven methodologies developed by Lindamood-Bell, Inc. So often our very bright children are misdiagnosed and/or not appropriately supported when they are faltering in reading, be it decoding or comprehension,or struggling with critical thinking tasks, spelling, math skills, or expressive language competency. The consequences of inadequate intervention are often devastating, not only for their self-esteem, but for their entire academic careers and choices of adult vocational and educational pursuits. Miriam Pollack brings 17 years of experience to her deep conviction that every child can succeed, and they do: one child at a time.

For over fifteen years I have had the privilege of witnessing people achieve life-changing growth during our work together. At times all of us experience overwhelmingly painful feelings or problems coping with our stressful lives. My ultimate hope and goal is to help you to develop the capacity to respond to future challenges with greater resilience, empathy, and self compassion.

I specialize in working with clients struggling in their close relationships and individuals and couples committed to improving their understanding of their emotions and themselves. People who tend to benefit the most from working with me in therapy often have difficulty maintaining healthy connections or feel overwhelmed due to grief, loss, or trauma. I also work quite a bit with clients looking to continue their process of personal growth and development.

In my private practice, I build a partnering relationship with you to help effect change. I guide people to develop a stronger awareness of self, as they integrate and move through current struggles and relational challenges. Every interaction supports the message that growth and improvement are possible. I bring an approach that capitalizes on each person's unique strengths through the integration of experiential modalities produced from Gestalt, transpersonal, somatic, mindfulness, and strength based client centered perspectives. I address and integrate personal goals and lead a person to new level of awareness and life satisfaction. Specific issues may include depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma, interpersonal conflict, parent – child conflict, family change (divorce/separation), and other life changes or repeating patterns th

I support women, emerging adults, and LGBTQA+ individuals in cultivating the courage to reconnect with their disowned parts and experiences in order to bring the unconscious conscious and create sustainable change in their lives and relationships. I use an integrative approach that includes Gestalt, Parts work, Mindfulness, Nature-based Therapy, and EMDR to best meet clients where they are and help guide them to where they can make more life-affirming decisions and create a sense of joy. I specialize in complex trauma and anxiety and I am passionate about working with relationship issues, grief, neurodiversity-affirming care, women's issues, and life transitions. I am looking forward to meeting you along your way.
