About

Hi! I am Dr. Megan Pollock. A little bit about me, I have been working in the mental health field for approximately 17 years. I have worked with a variety of ages from young kids to the elderly. I am a mother, wife, dog mom, avid exerciser, and psychologist. My approach to working with patients is holistic and developmental with a grounding in evidenced-based treatments. My work and being a mom taught me how important it is to recognize the developmental stage we are at in life. The older I get; the quicker life is going, and I believe we should optimize each day. Be who you want to be today, don’t put off living life. In my work with patients, I aim to help them make the most out of life now! My approach is to understand the deeper layers and help with concrete changes through evidenced-based methods. I work from a developmental and holistic framework to meet your unique needs. I have specialized expertise in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Anxiety, Insomnia, and Schizophrenia (and related disorders). I offer specialty assessments and scientifically-based treatment modalities for these conditions.
