Getting to know Shellee Pollard
I have been a licensed clinician since 1997. I have extensive experience with others’ crises and trauma, having faced my own and been helped so graciously in the 1980s by a wonderful L.C.S.W. who worked for Kaiser. I was deeply grateful for her approach, kindness, and ability to help me through my difficulties at that time. I went straight to California State University, Long Beach, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work (BSW) in 1990, and then continued there to obtain my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) in 1993. My approach is similar to that of the therapist who helped me.
I am client-centered; in our sessions, we will focus on you, your needs, and your strengths, and from there, work toward helping you feel more comfortable in your skin and better able to tolerate others in your daily life. I like to emphasize striving for balance physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—not religiously, but in the sense of our human connection.
The outcome of the therapy I practice is to emphasize your abilities and help you see how talented and special you are. No matter what you are experiencing that brings you to counseling—whether anxiety, depression, grief, or frustration in relationships—I want to help you with a holistic approach to resolving the issues in your life. You have hope, strength, and love inside you. We will explore those areas together. I have an eclectic approach, including a 12-step background and experience. My main experience is working mostly with adults and the elderly. I aim to foster your ability to live an autonomous, independent, and safe life, as comfortably as possible.
