Getting to know Harris I. Pollack
Hal was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, studied literature and creative writing in college, and, upon moving to New York, worked as a high school teacher for three years as a member of the NYC Teaching Fellows prior to pursuing his Master’s in Social Work at Hunter College’s Silberman School of Social Work, part of the City University of New York. Drawn to therapy by his longstanding interest in—and belief in—the power of language and relationship as means of healing and growth, Hal has spent over ten years as a therapist striving to mindfully create an atmosphere of openness and hopefulness in each session and with each client. He does not subscribe to one particular school of thought or method of treatment but is guided by values aligned with relational, client-centered, and humanistic therapies. Believing strongly that the quality of a therapist’s relationship with a client plays a determining role in the process and outcome of therapy, Hal strives to be both acutely and gently attuned to each client’s needs, wishes, and goals while also being authentically himself—meeting each client “where they’re at” with sincere curiosity and strengths-focused positive regard.
