“I worked with Ruth for a year and a half. She helped me rebuild my life and gain clarity on my goals. Ruth was patient, understanding, and nonjudgmental. She guided me through everyday struggles, never imposed her views, and let me reach my own conclusions. With her support, I found direction and practical tools to keep moving forward. I‚Äôm grateful for her help during a difficult time and would return to her for future guidance.”

Getting to know Ruth Pollak
Hi there, I'm Ruth!
My name is Ruth Pollak, LCSW, a Licensed Social Worker in Colorado. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the Raymond A. Kent School of Social Work and Family Science. I have been in private practice for decades, working with adults experiencing life’s transitions, grief, anxiety, and depression. My style is interactive and straightforward.
My approach
I consider my approach to be mainly cognitive therapy. I focus on the issues concerning you here and now, striving to make your life better in a short period of time.
My focus
I work with adults experiencing life’s transitions, divorce, grief, death, and suicide of a loved one.
My communication style
I aim to provide my clients with a comfortable environment. I am warm and caring, and it shows in my therapy.
My journey to mental healthcare
I started out helping my friends with their problems at a young age, and I knew it was beneficial for them as well as me. I love what I do, and I love to help others.
My goals for you
I let my clients determine their goals in therapy.
My first session with you
My first session is a "get to know you" session, where I ask a lot of questions.
