Getting to know Shira Preiser Pollio

IMPORTANT: Thriveworks cannot provide services to clients with Medicaid coverage. If you have Medicaid, please contact your plan directly to find an in-network provider. For all other insurance plans, Thriveworks will verify your benefits after you book through Zocdoc. If verification isn't completed before your visit, you'll be charged our self-pay rate of $200 for that session. AFTER YOU BOOK: Complete these steps to avoid cancellation or being switched to self-pay. 1. Check your email for instructions to set up your Thriveworks account. Within your Thriveworks’ account, sign consent forms and add a valid credit card, which will be automatically charged for copays, fees, post-insurance balances, and self-pay amounts. 2. If using insurance, upload clear photos of the front and back of your insurance card. 3. Expect a confirmation call from our team to verify your information and answer questions. CANCELLATION POLICY: Provide 48 hours advance notice to avoid the $135 late cancellation fee. I am a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 3 years of experience supporting clients through life transitions, emotional challenges, and identity exploration. My background in education and theater informs a creative, relational approach to therapy that values connection, meaning, and personal growth. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, loneliness, communication challenges, and neurodivergence, and I strive to meet clients where they are on their unique and evolving journeys. I earned my master's degree in social work from Florida State University. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, grounded in the belief that clients are the experts of their lives. I integrate creative and experiential techniques, including narrative exploration, values-based work, and expressive tools to support insight and self-compassion. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, and taking the first step takes courage.
