I have had over a half-century of clinical experience, and have worked with a broad variety of clients. I see each client as a unique individual with a distinct array of problems and questions. I do not limit myself to a specific "brand" of psychotherapy, but instead design a treatment approach to match the individual client's needs, all the while recognizing that the client's situation may evolve, priorities may change, new goals may arise, and that psychotherapy at its best is often a process of illuminating a path to self fulfillment.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Herschel Pollard. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. Pollard is a wealth of knowledge and understanding from years of experience in many different capacities. The work I have been doing with him has been valuable and very needed. I'm thankful for him as a therapist and as knowing he is a person who really cares and shows genuine concern for his patients And who they are as individuals, including what is most important to them in the world. This genuine care, provides an excellent opportunity for growth in the areas of rebuilding trust, establishing balance in life, and changing negative thought patterns that are limiting in nature. Thankful and grateful.
