Great therapist, very knowledgeable and helpful. He gives insight and advice about my issues and encourages healthy thinking and behaviors. Definitely recommend.

ACVerified patient

I believe Richard is very attentive, relatable and understanding. His approach is to me one of the best due to not feeling like a standard relationship but more of a partnership in trying to help. He is great and after every session feel there is progress and always tries to steer me in the right mindset direction. I appreciate him very much and always eager for each session.

BNVerified patient

Mr. Pollino has been instrumental in leading me on the road to recovery. He is nonjudgmental, caring without being overbearing, and has fresh "out of the box" ideas on healthy alternatives for filling the void that's often created when choosing to rid your life of a long standing vice. He is also able to bring an upbeat vibe to our sessions, which I really appreciate since we're often discussing tough topics. Additionally, Mr. Pollino is consistent with scheduling and flexible when life gets in the way, unexpectedly. Overall, he's genuinely interested in helping his patients and providing life changing strategies. I highly recommend.

SGVerified patient

I highly recommend Richard! Richard is an incredibly attentive listener and make you feel truly heard and understood. Richard offers is both practical and thoughtful advice. The strategies Richard has shared with me have been helpful and I feel supported and grounded after each session. Richard has also created a welcoming and comfortable environment that makes it very easy to open up. I would encourage anyone to work with Richard.

Ryan goes above and beyond and sees things from many different perspectives. Very professionally and friendly, would highly recommend!

GPVerified patient

I started talking to Richard so he could help me get over a phobia I have. And through both learning coping mechanisms and getting to the root of the problem I feel more confident then ever.

MMVerified patient

Very direct and down to earth!

RLVerified patient

I have been seeing Ryan weekly since October and it's been great to have someone to talk to who not only listens, but also provides me with actionable feedback that I can use as I make my way through life. TL;DR: Ryan's great and I appreciate my visits with him!

As a very honest and straightforward person, I appreciated Dr Pollino’s honest and direct communication style. I only had one session, but what we had talked about left me hopeful.

Richard is amazing. My visits with him are always great. He listens and give great advice for me to follow which help me in my day to day life. Highly recommend

ERVerified patient

Very direct and down to earth!

February 3, 2025Randall L.Verified patient

Richard is amazing at what he does. This is my first experience with a therapist and have been skeptical for years. Richard has been an amazing addition to my life, my balance, my ability to talk through many of the things that have lingered in my life. He has provided clarity and understanding at my most vulnerable moments. Richard has given me key ways to continue to improve and ways to move forward. He has help with exercises for self improvement and regardless of the situation or circumstance, he is non judgmental and provides clarity and understanding. Highly recommended. For someone hesitant for years in doing therapy, Richard’s professionalism is the clarity and added piece I need for my continued growth.

JEVerified patient

Ryan is an incredible listener and he is extremely insightful. He helps me navigate every conflict of my life in a delicate and constructive way. I come away from every session with a feeling of support and useful tools to help me figure out different scenarios. Highly recommend!

TKVerified patient

I have had the pleasure of working with two therapists prior to working with Richard Pollino. I have been seeing him for a few months and have found the work we have done together has helped me more than any other therapy I have received in previous years. He is highly attentive, demonstrates empathy, and offers a slight touch of humor at the right times (something I enjoy and appreciate). I highly recommend him, as he has helped me grow and improve in many areas of my life.

TDVerified patient

I was extremely satisfied

EDVerified patient

During the visit with the therapist, it was evident that he is very attentive and genuinely listens to concerns. He is approachable and creates a comfortable atmosphere, making it easier to open up, especially during difficult times. His nice demeanor and willingness to actively help by exploring different strategies reflect his commitment to supporting clients effectively. Overall, the sessions feel constructive and reassuring.

SBVerified patient

Ryan is compassionate, emphatic, and a great listener. He is not afraid to ask tough questions and handles uncomfortable conversations with grace and understanding. I am glad to have met him in my journey.

PDVerified patient

Ryan is a great person to talk to - it always feels like he knows what to say and when to say it no matter the topic. For me specifically, Ryan has been able to guide me with my personal goals, helping me set new objectives while also letting go of some of my more problematic habits. Naturally, I'm still learning a lot, and I hope to continue to learn more from Ryan's expertise. His openminded approach helps me sort the causes of my problems, then resolve the smaller occurrences one by one. Great guy, can't wait for our next meeting!

JLVerified patient

I had always stigmatized therapy and felt that I would never be in a place where I would need to share my deepest thoughts with a stranger. Thankfully, Ryan is easy to talk to, which allowed me to feel comfortable sharing my feelings with him. He's always positive but doesn't sugar coat the issues. I came to Ryan in a crisis situation and he was able to give me the tools to help me deal with that specific issue. The amazing thing that I've found is that the tools & ideas that he has given me are allowing me to address issues in other areas of my life. I am truly grateful for his help and I've come to look forward to our sessions. ,

MCVerified patient

Richard Ryan Kenneth Pollino, is the therapist that I have been speaking with for the past month and a half. He is always on time for the sessions and opens with a welcoming greeting. once we begin, he politely inquires into how I am feeling at the moment, and/ or if there is anything on my mind that I would like to address at the moment. Based on where we ended from the previous session, Ryan will provide a self-reflection assignment for our next meeting. I find this extremely helpful for my problem solving activity, as he give great feedback for growth and personal development. I highly recommend Richard Ryan to anyone working through emotional concerns or struggling with anxiety, anger, family concerns, or just seeking overall life-stability.

HTVerified patient

Richard Pollino has been an incredible support in helping me work through my feelings and better understand myself. He creates such a safe, welcoming space where I feel comfortable sharing even the hardest parts of my life. His approach is thoughtful and patient, and he has a way of helping me see things in a new, more positive light. Week by week, I’ve started noticing real changes in how I think and feel, and I can honestly say our sessions have had a lasting impact on my mental health and overall outlook. What really stands out about Richard is how much he truly cares. He listens so attentively and always makes me feel understood, no matter what I bring to the table. He never rushes me and always takes the time to offer thoughtful guidance that fits my needs. Knowing I can reach out to him if I need support outside of our sessions has been so reassuring. I’m incredibly grateful for the way he’s helped me grow and for the sense of peace his guidance has brought into my life.

JBVerified patient

I would, and did go back for a follow up visit. I'm looking forward to working with him and finally getting to the bottom of my issues. I'm hopeful

December 4, 2024Camile C.Verified patient

I always feel listened to and supported with appropriate advice for an array of situations. Ryan always shows up on time, ready to go and makes me feel extremely comfortable to talk with. After searching for a therapist for a long time, I feel so relieved to have found Ryan and the support I need to better my mental health. Highly recommend Ryan to anyone!

EOVerified patient

Every visit was great! Ryan is a very good listener and always has great advice and solutions to issues/problems you may be having. I feel like he has really helped me A LOT to overcome things that were causing me to worry and have issues. And I also have noticed that I’m not worrying about the things I used to worry about, and I feel like I have become a better person. Others have also noticed how much I have improved since I started going to Ryan. I recommend going to him if you need help or advice!

AWVerified patient

Ryan is supportive. He’s the first therapist that I feel acknowledged and validated by.He also holds a conversation and not just nods along. I am glad he’s my therapist and I know I will get far in the journey that I’m taking to get better because of his support.

EPVerified patient

Ryan is an excellent therapist. He has helped me work through personal difficulties and is encouraging. Asking thoughtful questions, and providing great insight. Ryan has helped me shift my perspective towards life and the difficulties I’ve encountered. I feel as though I am more prepared to lead a healthy and productive life thanks to Ryan.

IJVerified patient

When arriving for my appointment, I was almost always seen right away except for one or two times. During the appointments, my counselor was personable and patient when talking about/discussing difficult personal topics. 9 times out of 10 I would leave said appointments feeling satisfied with what was covered and discussed. I would recommend my counselor to others.

CAVerified patient

I only had one session but he seems cool so far. He’s setting up some homework for me and my ADHD. I’m looking forward to actual work from a therapist with goal setting.
