Getting to know Carolyn Polakowski

I am a licensed therapist with Meru Health. In just 12 weeks, the duration of our program, you will build skills to reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, and better manage uncomfortable emotions. I'll support you through unlimited chat messaging and scheduled video calls throughout this journey. I have been in the counseling world for over 12 years, and prior to that, I worked as a high school English teacher. I earned my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University, and I also hold a bachelor's degree from the University of Colorado. Being a lifelong learner, I continue to grow both personally and professionally. I currently focus on working with adults experiencing anxiety, depressive symptoms, burnout, and ADHD. My primary goal is to quickly build trust and create a safe space for you to start healing, process emotions, and learn new ways of thinking. At Meru Health, I am not only a therapist but also a clinical team lead, providing leadership to a team of 30 therapists. I am a licensed counselor in CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, WA, WI, KS, LA, MO, NE, OK, PA, and SC. I currently live in Ft. Collins, CO, with my family, but I am a big traveler and have lived in many other states and one other country. I enjoy the 300+ days of sun we get in Colorado and make the most of every moment-whether trail running, mountain biking, paddleboarding, or just sitting on a patio soaking up the sun. I also enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and two cats!
