Getting to know Sue Pollington
Hi there, I'm Sue!
Welcome, I am Dr. Sue Pollington. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, Nevada, and Montana, with 36 years of experience. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Florida International University. I focus on client-centered treatment because each person is unique and deserves the attention and time needed to attain their goals. As a therapist, I am here for you, not the other way around.
My therapeutic approach is based on your needs. This may include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational therapy approaches, or a host of other modalities which we discuss and decide on together. You are the head of our treatment team; I am a resource and support for your journey.
Throughout my career, I have worked with clients of all ages. Currently, I focus primarily on adults, couples, and families.
My approach to therapy is conversational. There is a dialogue and collaboration where trust is built to overcome issues and create a quality of life that sustains and nourishes.
My story of becoming a therapist began when childhood friends would bring me animals and themselves for help-maybe a bandage or a shoulder to lean on. Sometimes it was to share sadness. This sparked my wonder at how amazing people are and how much we try to cope. When the opportunity to become a therapist arose, it felt familiar and wonderful to walk with someone through difficult times and be present for them. Therapy is one of my favorite things to do.
Goal setting in therapy is about what you want, and the path to reaching those goals should be enjoyable. Honestly, if it's not enjoyable, we won't want to do it. So not only are the goals positively focused, but so is the path to getting there.
In our first session, expect questions-none of which you have to answer. I want to get to know you for who you are, not just what you do or don't do.

I cannot recommend Sue highly enough. She is warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and highly experienced. She recognized my hardships immediately—catching ongoing abuse within our first few meetings, which was something a previous therapist had completely missed. Over the couple of years we’ve worked together, she has been consistently sweet, available, and driven by an amazing work ethic. It’s obvious that this isn't just a job for Sue; she truly cares about her clients.
