Getting to know Shoshana Polansky

Please note that prior to our initial visit, I'd like to meet with you over the phone or via video chat to ensure I'm a good fit for you. Please make sure you have 15 minutes available for this meeting in the days before your first session. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the Wright Institute, which informs my approach to providing thoughtful and effective care. PLEASE ALSO NOTE: I am out of network with all insurances. This means I can provide you with a superbill for any diagnosis you receive, which you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Please let me know if you have any questions about how this works—I’m happy to help.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I take an integrative approach to therapy, which means I don't limit my practice to one specific mode of therapy; instead, I choose the approach that best fits your needs, utilizing tools grounded in the latest research. I pride myself on being direct and genuine, warm and non-judgmental while still being active and engaged. I have specific success and training in stress, dating, relationship issues, sex, taxing family dynamics and trauma. In short, I help people create better relationships and clear obstacles to those relationships. I help couples dealing with communication issues, differences in desire and problems with intimacy, navigating nontraditional relationships, and I help you to stop having the that same fight you've been having for years. Some specialities of mine include working with people new to therapy and people that have felt like therapy hasn't been a good fit for them in the past. I have plenty of tools that are extraordinarily helpful, including EMDR - a research-tested protocol to explore upsetting or blocking memories that lets people free themselves from anxiety and self-doubt.
