Getting to know Riley Polacek

"The provider is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern" You may look like you’re managing everything well on the outside but internally, you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself. Many first-time moms and high-achieving women come to therapy feeling surprised by how hard this season is. You might be navigating changes in your relationship, struggling with intimacy, questioning your identity, or silently carrying grief related to infertility or unmet expectations. I specialize in working with women during emotionally complex life transitions, particularly first-time motherhood, relationship and intimacy challenges, and infertility. These experiences can bring up anxiety, grief, pressure, and self-doubt—especially for women who are used to excelling, problem-solving, and staying in control. Therapy is a space where you don’t have to perform or push through. You get to pause, feel, and be supported. In our work together, I offer a warm, grounded, and nonjudgmental environment where you can explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. Together, we’ll focus on helping you feel more connected to yourself, more secure in your relationships, and more confident navigating this chapter of your life.
